On July 15, I had the pleasure of presenting my research at the 2018 International Congress of Neuroendocrinology in Toronto, Canada! Here, I discussed findings from the first study of my graduate career at IU, in which I investigated the effects of photoperiod and melatonin administration on circulating and neural androgen levels in male Siberian hamsters.

I would like to thank the International Neuroendocrine Federation for awarding me a Trainee Travel Award for the conference and the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior and the Indiana University Department of Biology for their generous support that allowed me to attend this meeting. I had a great time in Toronto with a wonderful group of scientists, and I look forward to continuing to share my findings with researchers from across the globe!
