No, you don't have a lizard brain inside your human brain! At long last the @nytimes has me on record stating the Triune Brain Theory is "pretty much totally bogus," also highlighting my vasotocin work in Anoles. Read all about the social lives of lizards: https://t.co/s8amblTI5T
“You’ve got politicians who claim to be pro-family, and then it turns out they’re incredibly selective about who counts as a family, and whose families deserve to be protected.” —Sec. @PeteButtigieg on the GOP’s attack on IVF

Eliminating the right to choose is one of the few campaign promises Donald Trump actually kept. That tells us a lot about what he would do next, if given the chance.
The next president will have the opportunity to replace 3 conservative SCOTUS justices in their 70s— Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, John Roberts. If it’s Trump, he will appoint 40-year-old judges in their mold who will serve for decades. This election is not about Joe Biden; it’s about ensuring we are not plagued with a far right court for the rest of our lives.
Check out our newest publication on vomeronassl organ size. We found no trade off between investment in visual signals versus vomeronasal organs used to detect chemical signals. Bigger spiny lizards have bigger vomeronasal organs!
Spiny lizards that have evolutionarily lost a colorful sexual signal do not have larger vomeronasal organs (VNOs) than species that have retained the signal. Instead, larger species tend to have larger VNOs!
