1/ Very proud to announce my lab has published a new review in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews! We argue the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is far more integrated than developmental scientists typically assume and that matters!

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! 👀

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.

In an age of triumphant managerialism, we must remember that giving researchers support, autonomy, and freedom results in miraculous things. Another point is that the government required AT&T to invest in basic research to avoid being treated as a monopoly. 1517.substack.com/p/why-bell-l...

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?

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”

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish
excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time. 
     When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work.
     If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

Does a Baby’s Heart Rate Determine Their Talking?
Many things have to go right in order for babies to learn to talk. Recent research highlights the role of something that might come as a surprise: heart rate.

Researchers tracked babies’ heart rates and found a decelerating heart rate was associated with the production of words, showing that the autonomic nervous system, which regulates heart rate, interacts with speech production. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

And I’ll point out that in the case of success stories like Bell Labs or many tech research shops, the advances did not come from big vision but anarchic autonomy, researchers told, “Do whatever you want.” The breakthroughs were rarely in anticipated directions. 8/n
