How does the brain's surface expand in the first ten years of life? How does being born very preterm impact this process? We answer these questions in our new paper in @braincomms. Check it out below! doi.org/10.1093/braincomms/f…

#JAACAP study found that high #neighborhoodcrime and weaker newborn brain connectivity was related to higher #externalizing symptoms in toddlers. @wunder_lab @rebeccagbradyb jaacap.org/article/S0890-856…

Crime negatively affects teens, but what about toddlers? In a new paper out in @JAACAP, we found that toddlers living in high crime neighborhoods had more externalizing symptoms at 1 & 2yrs, especially aggression. @wunder_lab But how does crime influence toddlers?! 🧵 1/

Congratulations to our (former) graduate student @rebeccagbrady! It was a pleasure to have you in lab. We cannot wait to see what else you accomplish!
✔️PhD I successfully defended my PhD thanks to my incredible team of mentors! My PIs: Chris Smyser & @rogers_ce, and bonus mentors: @BarchDbarch, Joan Luby, @upennedenlab & @shimonyjs, have always supported me and my work. I feel truly fortunate to be in the @wunder_lab!

Belated announcement that as of a few months ago, I'm a postdoc at the @WUSTLmed @wunder_lab! It's been a rollercoaster year (hence the twitter absence), but I'm delighted to have settled into a great research home with @rogers_ce, Chris Smyser, and @BarchDbarch 😌.
