We're also excited about the mechanistic explanation this work starts to provide for why early caregiver predictability is linked to long-term cognitive outcomes in children!
tessforest.bsky.social
Most exciting to me, in each dyad, infants look most at their caregiver when she is being moderately predictable relative to herself. This shows an infant's own, unique experience with the statistics of their environment shapes the development of early attention and learning processes.

We measured caregiver unpredictability (entropy) by hand-annotating hundreds of videos of caregivers interacting naturally with their babies, and then found that the predictable structure of caregiver's behavior shapes infants moment-to-moment attention during dyadic interaction.

If the NIH gets messed up, there is no alternative. Not just in the US, but globally. It is by far the biggest engine of health research in the world. Which is why the idea that US scientists can just do their work elsewhere is a little fanciful.

Hadn’t found an important use for my first blue-sky “tweet”… but then all our training grants were taken. @tristansyates.bsky.social wrote what I’m feeling quite eloquently

Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

(Belated, but) thank you for having me!! And I've made it here now :)
