Professor of Psychology @UCDavis; interested in how kids learn and remember, make decisions, and imagine their future; obsessed with politics. #FirstGen
As a proud UC grad, I know @UCLA is a global leader in research, innovation, education, and healthcare. A $1B federal demand would devastate the nation’s top public research university, cut off life-saving care, and halt economic growth. #StandUpForUC https://t.co/rgnbaYSWtF
United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California.
This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power.
@TheTennisLetter Actually, I think he was not as loved because despite incredible tennis skills, he was not as lovable, frequently arrogant and with pretend injuries at critical times during matches.
@KSoltisAnderson I’m so sorry for your loss. What a 💔. I felt the same way about my rescue Labrador Retriever. When he passed, I found solace fostering other rescue Labradors while they waited for their forever family. I see a little of my Bruno in each of them and it saves lives.
Asthma Linked to Memory Deficits in Children
Asthma in children is linked to memory difficulties, with research showing that earlier asthma onset can slow memory development over time.
The study, focused on children aged 9-10, found that those with asthma scored lower on episodic memory tasks compared to their peers without the condition.
Researchers suggest that prolonged inflammation or oxygen disruption during asthma episodes may contribute to these cognitive impacts.
Data from a large child study showed that the longer a child had asthma, the slower their memory development over a two-year period.
The findings raise concerns that asthma could increase risks for future cognitive conditions, such as dementia, later in life.
@GrattonCaterina So good! I interpreted it differently. I thought the pumpkin was giving birth to the skeleton. Reproductive rights are front and center of my psyche these days…
