Spencer Byers

I am a 2nd year Neuroscience PhD student at Boston University in the Graduate Program for Neuroscience (GPN), advised by Ian Davison in the Olfactory Signal Processing Laboratory. I am interested in chemosensory processing, especially rodent pheromonal communication in the context of social interacitons.

I received my BA in Neuroscience and Molecular Biology from Kenyon college.
