Cardiff Babylab is excited to launch a new, remote study for medical and allied health professionals in the UK!

We are inviting professionals to give their thoughts on integrating wearable head cameras into their practice.

Find out more: www.cardiff-babylab.com/tinyexplorer...
Dark blue background to the left of image with Cardiff University logo in top left corner, red Babylab dragon and ident to the centre. Cream box overlays the blue background. Centred dark blue text reads "are you a medical or allied health professional based in the UK? Do you work with children with Down syndrome under 5? We want to hear your thoughts on using wearable head-mounted cameras in your practice". A QR code to the bottom left with dark blue text that reads "Find out more about our new remote study using the QR code or link in the caption"

Right side of image shows a young child with Down syndrome in a light blue t-shirt with the Babylab Dragon and text reading “Little Scientist”. She is wearing a soft, light blue foam helmet with a small camera attached to the front, just above eye level.

Happy New Year from the Cardiff Babylab! 🎊

We recently had the pleasure of following up with some of our wonderful participants from a few years back. A big thank you to everyone who has given their time to support our research.

We can’t wait to work with all our wonderful families in 2025!
A cream background with yellow and blue swirls in the corner. At the top is the text ‘It's been lovely to follow up with some of our little scientists again!’ in blue. Above the text is the Embodied lab logo and the Cardiff Babylab logo. There are two photos of a child, one in which they are wearing a lab coat, labelled ‘2021’ and the other in which they are sitting in a car seat, labelled ‘2024’.

I think the last single author publication I had was my thesis, but in any case, here's another. An integrated framework for the learning, recognition and interpretation of words. 100% Gaskell, for better or for worse: doi.org/10.1177/1747...
