New research by Dr. Niyantri Ravindran shows that how parents and toddlers play together shapes kids' future social skills. Balanced interactions—where children learn to respond to others and take initiative—prepare them for social situations with peers. https://t.co/StPNZHRA7d

Recent research by @AssafOshri & Larry Sweet showed stress reactivity links child maltreatment (CM) to alcohol use in young adults. Higher distress tolerance (DT) can reduce this risk. DT-focused interventions might help lower alcohol use. More info: https://t.co/pBVQIoSfmu

Question for GE scanner folks using Nova coils - ear plug headphones seem less than ideal for our pediatric population. The coil is too tight to comfortably fit over-the-ear headphones. Suggestions for alternatives?

Truly an honor and privilege to work alongside this brilliant and generous man. Congrats @AssafOshri !!
