Lucinda Sisk demonstrated how accounting for the developmental timing of adversity exposure contributes to understanding heterogeneity in outcomes. Middle childhood may be a sensitive period where experiences shape future risk/resilence

@madrelabutd.bsky.social presented her work using a rodent model of resource scarcity to investigate how
postpartum adversity alters maternal behavior and mesolimbic dopamine function.

Had the pleasure of organizing a symposium on how the timing of adversity exposure modulates neurodevelopmental outcomes. Such a great line up of speakers 🤩 #ISDP2025

I owe my whole career to Judy. As an undergrad in her lab, her enthusiasm for research motivated me to ditch my med school plans & pursue dev psych.

She paid me a stipend so I didn’t have to work full-time & could spend more time in the lab.

So much gratitude to have learned from the best 💖

Judy DeLoache passed away yesterday. She was a brilliant scientist and giant in the field of developmental psychology. She will be missed dearly.

Cleaning out my office today and forgot I kept this all these years!

This was one of my favorite classes as an undergrad and clearly still shapes my thinking and research today 😊

Lab writing retreat. Reconnected and reaffirmed what really matters. Not gonna let anyone dictate the kind of science (or scientists) allowed

Beautiful presentation by @briandias.bsky.social on mechanisms of intergenerational stress - inspired & excited about potential future directions from this work

Had a wonderful visit to the Wisconsin psych dept - really great students and faculty! Trip was too short, will need to come back (in the summer)!
