I like early life, mixing psychology and biology, and our fantastic research group.

I've opened a BlueSky account: @CdeWeerth.bsky.social
Excited to start posting there. Hope to see many of you again there, and if not, goodbye for now!

Recruiting a postdoc for a fantastic project on physical closeness between infants and their mothers and fathers! https://t.co/XaJWnYmCyT

We're spotlighting an essential resource: the 2016 Lancet Series on Breastfeeding, with in-depth insights and evidence on the critical role of breastfeeding for both maternal and infant health.

Another incredibly helpful resource from the @UNICEF nutrition team on countering industry arguments, which so often stymie Code implementation in many countries. Check it out below 👇

Great ideas!

Grateful to Wiley + the Developmental Science Editors for inviting a vision for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in developmental research. My editorial is now published. I welcome all feedback. Look forward to participating in much-needed change. https://t.co/pdZnyCU5Ml

Everybody who has had a child knows that it changes you. Now, researchers are starting to understand how pregnancy transforms the brain to prepare it for parenthood. Read more in a @nature news feature by @liamjdrew https://t.co/fCQkalnOgN

Ever wondered how often and for how long mothers take babies on walks? And how often babies sleep outside? And how much mothers use a baby carrier? See the results of our survey for mothers (N=1275) of 0- to 12-month-old infants! https://t.co/qp373eN3m5

Science is not really happening when the goal is a paper, a presentation, a grant, or any product. It only really happens when the goal is a process of discovery.

Finland group downgrades 60 Journals

“The 60 journals will be downgraded from level 1 to level 0 at the start of 2025. Of these, 21 are from MDPI, three from Wiley, and three from Frontiers”

[Carolina de Weerth @WeerthDe]

Fascinating! And confronting if you think about how we humans are dealing with world problems now.

These findings show the potential of social flexibility to provide resilience to rapid and unpredictable environmental disturbances and emphasize a dynamic link between the environment and fitness consequences of social behavior. Illustrative work by amazing @HuWantsToKnow below

In the post-disaster world, *heat* is now a critical threat. Macaques who were more tolerant of others are better able to access shade, lower their body temperature and, ultimately, 42% more likely to survive.

[Camille Testard @CamilleTestard]

*Very* excited to see the last study of my PhD making the cover of @ScienceMagazine on the macaques of @CayoSantiagoPR.

We show that ecological disturbances can alter selective pressures on social ties leading to persistent societal changes.

What a great article! Congrats @darbysaxbe with your important and enlightening research! And congrats to all the dedicated fathers out there!!!

[Darby Saxbe @darbysaxbe]

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there! I wrote a piece about how your brain can shrink (but it might be a good thing). https://t.co/juNEqLsUJ2

Dat mogen we niet laten gebeuren. Stop de bezuinigingen op wetenschap! Steun deze oproep door het te delen

Doe ook mee aan deze actie, kijk op https://t.co/9jMVzrVYBS

[Carolina de Weerth @WeerthDe]

Laat wetenschap werken. Zonder ons onderzoek grotere gezondheidsverschillen!
De aangekondigde bezuinigingen op de wetenschap hebben forse impact op ons onderzoek. Zonder ons onderzoek geen oplossingen voor (maatschappelijke) problemen.

why does this 800 year old quote about london lowkey make it sound really cool??

[Carolina de Weerth @WeerthDe]

@KieranOD_PhD @BWFUND Congratulations Kieran!!! Happy for you!

As an early nod to Father's Day, I'd like to highlight this @nature paper showing that mitochondrial RNAs that sens paternal diet and mitochondrial quality are transferred from sperm to egg, affecting the metabolism of their offspring https://t.co/4EbsqVaWTl
