Looking to connect with researchers doing developmental community-based work for a possible SRCD symposium! Please reach out!

Very excited to share this preprint from me, @emmatempleton.bsky.social, @lindseytepfer.bsky.social & @thaliawheatley.bsky.social! "Friends and strangers engage in distinct regimes of body motion synchrony during conversation" osf.io/preprints/ps...

Recruiting PhD students for Fall 27 - we focus on education & equitable access to effective supports for children and families. If you are interested in implementation science, interdisciplinary partnerships, & applied research that bridges evidence, policy, and practice, please get in touch!

So beyond grateful to have received a NICHD LRP award 🎉🥳 This support is such a privilege, one not many have access to in this country This comes at a perfect time as on a recent trip home I was asked if I am still in school (the answer is no, not really at least).

What matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

End of the spring quarter 🌻☀️ @stanfordeducation.bsky.social

New paper alert! Led by Dr. LillyBelle Deer (@lillybelledeer.bsky.social), we found that an acute stressor task did not significantly impact EF performance in middle childhood. Children with greater parasympathetic reactivity (RSA) performed better under stress. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#ISDP2025 mini-recap! 3 days of incredible science, learning, connection, and finding meaning. A huge thank you to all who organized and facilitated such a stellar conference program! ⭐️ @isdp.org Looking forward to New Orleans 2026!

I wrote a piece for The Conversation on the importance of SNAP for reducing food insecurity and improving child health. I’d love it if you would read and share!

The Conversation U.S.@us.theconversation.com · 9mo ago

Recent SNAP cuts and the government shutdown are disrupting food access for millions of children. A developmental psychologist explains why this matters: food insecurity in childhood predicts higher cardiovascular risks in adulthood, worse mental health and academic problems. buff.ly/GEHkiZr

New campus building and workspace brings so much joy and gratitude! 🌳🏫 Kicking off my first year in the Stanford GSE 📚

Shameless plug that I'm on the job market! As a postdoc at Stanford's Center on Early Childhood, I study how children navigate growing up in poverty, w/ attention to both the challenges they face & the adaptive strengths they develop. To learn more & download my CV, see www.meriahdejoseph.com

Words and gestures help tune infant attention before they can speak. New UC Davis study finds babies focus longer when object labels ("bear") are paired with spatial words ("here"), and even longer when paired with gestures like pointing. ucdav.is/4lYtXgL
