Cool finding on 'parentese' from Gaye Soley's lab: when a parent speaks to each of their two children, the sound/style of their voice indicates whether they're speaking to the younger or older one (and other kids can tell!)

This NPR story highlights the cost of overlooking women in ADHD research. The consequences are real. A separate study found postpartum anxiety in 25% of women with ADHD (vs. 5% without ADHD) and postpartum depression in 17% (vs. 3.3%). We can’t improve women’s health if we don’t study it.

one thing junior researchers should do is review grants, both informally and by accepting reviewer requests every time they come in this is because observing how other scientists confidentially pitch new work to funders is a crash course in developing scientific maturity. it teaches you so much
