The University of South Alabama (USA) has released a statement saying that, despite social media posts and resources to the contrary, “There is no ‘queer animals lab.'”
The “Queer Research Lab,” was promoted by the Comparative Cognition and Communication (C3PO) Lab. The C3PO lab is a program of the USA Department of Psychology.
The school says that despite the lab’s branding on many posts and on a resource document, it was instead the personal account of Dr. Heidi Lyn, the lab’s main researcher. Lyn operates several personal social media accounts that were not branded with the lab logo.
“Her use of the term ‘queer animals lab’ was inaccurate and meant to capture the attention of viewers of her personal social media,” the statement from a university spokesman explained.
Lyn’s personal Facebook page is littered with anti-ICE, No Kings, and anti-Trump posts, while her personal Instagram page shows her dressed as a “Book Ban Fairy” and various Star Wars characters.
