Ex-Officio Research - Personal Parental Experience

I don’t have to look to my rat data to know that my life has been enhanced by my two daughters, Lara and Skylar. They’ve inspired me to learn more about the parental brain; perhaps a more in-depth understanding of parental-offspring social relationships in rodent models may give us clues about the evolution and sustaining mechanisms associated with human affiliative endeavors—caring, sympathy, empathy. Such pursuits are especially relevant in times of seemingly increasing conflicts among various constituents of the human species.

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.
