Dr. Sara Lipshutz went to Swarthmore College for her undergraduate degree. She recently completed her PhD at the University of Tennessee. She now works in the Biology Department at Indiana University and studies the endocrine and neuro-genomic underpinnings of female competition. Her research includes understanding female aggression in avian species, for example the wattled jacana. She uses methods in neuroscience, endocrinology, behavioral ecology to understand the difference between individuals, sexes, and species. At the symposium, she will be talking about the neuroendocrinology of sex-role reversal in session 2, taking a closer look at female reproduction.
