Associate Professor of Biology Melissa Coleman’s paper on the mating song preference of zebra finches was shortlisted for the Journal of Experimental Biology’s Outstanding Paper Prize. The paper, which confirms the role of dopamine in the mating preferences of monogamous zebra finches, was co-authored by Scripps students and alumnae Naomi Shroff-Mehta ’18, Kaeley Stout ’20, Julia Sun ’20, and Natalie Lillie ’19, and Clio Korn ’10, who is now a postdoctoral scholar at the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences.
