Congratulations to Lindsay for scoring in the top 3rd percentile (impact score 20) on her NRSA application. To no surprise, she was recently officially awarded tis prestigious grant, and will be investigating the impact that paternal care can have on stress-coping of developing prairie vole pups! And thanks to the reviewers and to NIH NICHD for their support!
