Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

New paper alert! The amygdala is key to emotional, social & appetitive behavior— but how do its subregions develop in preadolescence? In ~4,000 youth, we found:
🧠 Age → near-global amygdala expansion
🧬 Sex differences in apportionment
⚖️ Higher BMIz → smaller basolateral subregions
🧠 Age → near-global amygdala expansion
🧬 Sex differences in apportionment
⚖️ Higher BMIz → smaller basolateral subregions
