Does fetal movement mean more than a sign of the health and well-being of the developing child? Our recent findings suggest fetal movement may also play a role in shaping maternal neurodevelopment. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🙋‍♀️ 👋🚨 Two of my grad students had their NIH Diversity Supplements abruptly cancelled. We plan to appeal. We'd love to coordinate with other folks w/ cancelled grants. Does this already exist? If not, could we start a Slack, email or text thread, or shared Google Drive to share appeals & strategize?

Raising children protects the brain against aging, according to an analysis of UK Biobank [link to accounts below] data. As benefits were observed in men and women, they are likely caused by the mental workout of caregiving, rather than pregnancy. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
