#4 Birds and Brains - Mélanie Guigueno | The Knowledge Archives
Dr. Mélanie Guigueno is an assistant professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University. Her research group combines field and wet lab work to examine behaviour, cognition, and the brain in natural populations, how they are linked, and what influences them, whether it be ecology and evolution or environmental contaminants.
Dr. Guigueno’s lab primarily focuses on spatial behaviour and neurogenesis (the production of new neurons) in several avian systems (brood parasitism, migration, foraging behaviour), but research also includes social behaviour and its neural correlates in fish.
In the past three years, Mélanie has received the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science Award, the Alice Wilson award from the Royal Society of Canada, and the Early Career Researcher award from the Society of Canadian Ornithologists. Her research has been featured in BBC Earth Online, National Geographic Online, and The Globe and Mail. To learn more about her work, you can check out her lab website: http://www.guiguenolab.ca/
