New BBS Commentary! If half of all children under 5 live in Asia and a third in Africa, then developmental science has only scratched the surface in understanding how children grow up. In addition to broadening diversity, we need to embrace the variability within each culture, family to family.

Proud to be one of many incredible investigators in this new Clinical Research Center on Developmental Language Disorders. We will follow 3,600 toddlers to better understand how language skills emerge and why some children experience delays. Keep your eyes peeled. We'll be hiring soon! 👀

Amazing work by @tomalski.bsky.social and team! Very happy to see this out. Independent replication of earlier work from the lab AND an extension to younger months. Very exciting!

New paper alert from BabylabPAN Spontaneous speech-like vocalisations of infants are coupled with increased arm and leg movements. Across most of the first year (4-12 mo) the onset of a vocalisation is coupled with a brief limb movements. A🧵below OA text: rdcu.be/eWOko Funding @ncn.gov.pl

This is the beauty and wonder that we are being told has no value—or is even antithetical to American values. Well they're wrong, as anyone can see if they simply take a moment to imagine, truly imagine, what superpowers science gives us to see into worlds where we could otherwise never tread.

Some of you have never sat at the bottom of the Cayman Trench watching a species whom no human has ever seen before or since swimming by and it shows. youtu.be/UEdfrar1dLU?...

Autonomic physiological coupling of the global fMRI signal www.nature.com/articles/s41... "The global fMRI signal is a substantial component of the arousal response governed by the autonomic nervous system."

Autonomic physiological coupling of the global fMRI signal - Nature Neuroscience

The brain and body are necessarily connected. Here the authors show that brain blood flow and electrical activity are coupled with systemic physiological changes in the body.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

@garyseconomics.bsky.social The key message is growing inequality drives poverty - agreed. But, what's the 'why care' for those harder to reach circles you mentioned? It feels like they need to hear a self-interested - or macro hook like (e.g. cpag.org.uk/news/cost-ch...). What's the best hook?

The cost of child poverty in 2023

The cost of child poverty extends beyond the physical and emotional hardship felt by children growing up in low-income families. In 2008, the total financial cost was estimated to be at least £25 bill...

I want the grad students funded and protected. I want the campuses vibrant and bustling. I want our society to understand that the well-being of scientists is critical infrastructure for the future. I want science culture to finally admit that too.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

A research lab from Northwestern, chosen because it's generic and sort of zoomed out. Three scientists are visible in lab coats, and there are benches and shelving, with glass along one wall showing another high-rise building nearby. Overhead fluorescents provide light.

The whole "$1 NIH dollar generates $2.50 in output" sells science wildly short. Scientific discovery and technological development is the foundation on which our entire society is built -- and that includes all the businesses that operate within it. The throughlines are shorter than you think: 1/n

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”
