Hi! I’m Emily, and I study how the developing brain adapts physiologically and cognitively to early life adversity. Specifically, I’m interested in brain energetics during critical developmental periods using neuroimaging & incorporating evolutionary theory to understand these processes #SkySci #PhD

Just made the switch from X to Bluesky and I’m already loving this new platform.
I think it will be so much better for academics moving forward
