Thank you, @UVaSARC. Just one month in, but working in the A-School has already been a dream come true. Super stoked to embark on this neuro-architecture adventure with @jennyjroe, @jongoodalluva, @NSF, the @UNOceanDecade, and @kaleta_doolin, who made it possible. Here we go!
Congrats to Cat Thrasher, a Post-Doc Research Associate in Urban + Environmental Planning, who's one of 31 women scientists to be named a '23 NSF-KADF Ocean Decade Champion for critical community + coastal resilience research. @NSF

A student in my developmental #psychology lecture noted in their final paper that my course taught them that their “mom deserves a bigger Christmas present this year” and I think that means I should retire now because my work here is DONE.
More specifically: 5-mo-old infants whose mothers were more engaged—gave their infants attention, sat close, talked, and expressed positive affect—showed less visual avoidance & greater dlPFC response to threat at 7 months.
Caregiver engagement with infant tied to infant neural and behavioral engagement with threat. First neuro paper from grad school, in collaboration with @kathleen_krol & @TobiasGrossman3 doi.org/10.1002/dev.22224

The coolest thing happened: @clinpsych_ind reached out & made the most BEAUTIFUL illustrated version of the model from our paper. Be sure to check out her amazing work: teapawt.net/clinpsych_ind/status/1…
Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems model adapted for Black youth development and attachment processes in context (Stern et al., 2021). thank you for letting me draw this @JessAStern !
Congrats @dsbarra ! Could not agree more with this statement.
