We are looking to recruit varsity college athletes (18 years and older) to participate in a voluntary and confidential research study investigating the relationship between the male and female athlete triad and anxiety. We would like to invite your athletes to participate in the study.
This study takes 15-20 min to complete and asks the questions regarding their demographics, health behaviors such as eating habits and exercise, anxiety symptoms, and questions related to their reproductive health. There are no anticipated risks beyond what could occur in daily life, and participants will not directly benefit from being in the study.
If you think your athletes would be interested in participating, we invite you to forward the email below.
If you would like to know more about the study please feel free to contact:

The Behavioral Neuroendocrinology Lab, headed by Dr. Matthew Paul, is seeking applications for an
Undergraduate Research Assistant. Interested students should complete the attached application form
and email it to Dr. Paul at mjpaul@buffalo.edu.
Our lab investigates the neural mechanisms that regulate development of social behaviors in male and
female rodents (rats and hamsters). Typical behaviors examined are play behavior and ultrasonic
vocalizations (a form of social communication). Current projects are focused on the neuropeptide,
vasopressin, which may have different roles for male and female social development. For more details,
see our website – https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/ubbnelab/
The successful applicant will assist other students and technicians in various projects. Typical
procedures in our lab include conducting, scoring, and analyzing social behavior tests; histology including
immunohistochemistry; genotyping (by PCR amplification and restriction enzyme digest); small animal
surgeries including stereotaxic surgeries to inject drugs into the brain; brightfield and fluorescence
microscopy; and general laboratory animal care (changing cages, health inspections). While prior
research experience is a plus, the student will be fully trained by personnel in our laboratory.
This position provides a wonderful opportunity to gain experience with animal research that includes
many common neuroscience techniques. The student would also learn how to design experiments and to
think critically about science. The position is ideal for someone interested in pursuing a career in
scientific research (e.g., graduate school or pharmaceutical industry). Undergraduate research assistants
are expected to devote 8-10 hours a week towards laboratory work, which in addition to work on their
designated project includes training sessions, weekly laboratory meetings, and assisting with
miscellaneous laboratory tasks (e.g., laboratory maintenance and cleaning).
Dear Honors Scholars,
What issues matter most to you? The climate crisis? Systemic racism? Inequality? Educational reform? The Prison-Industrial Complex? The War on Drugs? Civil liberties? Voter suppression?
Whatever your concerns are, chances are there are other students who share them.
If you are interested in doing interdisciplinary research with a team of fellow Honors scholars, consider coming to an organizing meeting for the Honors College Think Tank.
Think Tanks are institutions that bring together people to examine problems in society and advocate policy prescriptions to fix them.
On March 16th at 3:30 PM, we will hold a meeting in Capen 106C outlining the course:
The finished projects will be presented at the end of April 2024.
Students will also earn 4 Honors Experience credits for the year.
This will be a student-driven initiative with students choosing and defining their topics and organizing their working groups. Working group leaders will be chosen by each team.
If you’re interested, please RSVP → https://forms.gle/jV5oHqNuHQJnqwJJ6
PS: Email if you’re interested but can’t make the meeting or if you have any questions.
