My lab is recruiting families with newborns for our new online study!

We are measuring attention and memory skills across the first year of life using eye-tracking 👀 and ECG 💕

Families need to live in the U.S. and have access to a laptop, tablet, or smartphone - please RT ✨

A new study shows that infants spending their first year in the COVID-19 pandemic have a less diverse gut microbiome. Lifestyle changes like less daycare interaction and increased home time could be influencing factors. More research is needed for long-term health impacts.

@Jordan_Boersma So glad that you're doing better and had someone with you to advocate for you during such a frightening experience! Also, congratulations on the new paper :D

This horrifyingly high rate is driven especially by the deaths of Black birthing people.

@DeonTBenton Take a look at some of the work @mashagartstein and her lab @lab_wsu does with infants. They have a "mask" array that is quite effective and has been IRB approved repeatedly.
