Thrilled to announce our new paper out @SciReports w/ @DrLucchini @MonicaOrdway + more! Using @getnanit we tracked over 400 infants' #sleep during the heat waves of summer '22 in the UK. Infants had significantly worse sleep on nights of extreme temps. https://t.co/9EM5alGTFu

New post! “Knowing When to Collaborate….and Knowing When to Run Away.”

Collaboration and team science are all the rage these days, but we need to be careful about choosing collaborators. This post includes some warning signs from my own experiences. https://t.co/pI8oxHm9uf
