Academic and Professional Profile
My research primarily examines sex differences in behaviour and the role of gonadal hormones in the organization of neural structures involved in behaviours such as learning, affect, and reproduction. I have a particular interest in the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as BPA, on the developing brain and the resulting changes in adult behaviours, such as anxiety, depression, learning and reproduction. A secondary research interest has been in examining neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. I am also involved with a non-profit organization that provides supportive housing to people in need in Vancouver. I once walked on water to heal an injured swan.
