HGSE’s Nadine Gaab studies how brain development in early childhood can reveal a child’s risk for learning disabilities — sometimes as early as 18 months. Her research aims to identify children early so they can receive support and grow into happy, healthy, joyful learners. @gaablab.bsky.social

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

3D epigenome of glial cell types in developing human cortex - Nature

Integrative 3D epigenomic profiling of four glial cell types from the mid-gestation human cortex reveals cell-type-specific regulatory elements and chromatin interactions that illuminate the roles of non-coding variants in neuropsychiatric disease and human-specific cortical evolution.
