Dana Miller-Cotto @damcotto.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yesterday was Mengyan’s last day after 12 months as a visiting PhD student in my lab. She helped me see new connections between executive function, math, and social-emotional competence, broadening our work in ways that will last. I learned so much from her and will miss her dearly. ❤️ 070
