Our new paper is finally out! ❤️❤️

After 5 years of data collection (179 first-time mothers + controls), and 2 years of data analyses and article writing, the first BeMother (BabyBrain) paper is out! We uncovered a U-shaped trajectory in maternal GM volume, resolving a long-standing puzzle in the maternal brain field.

A study in Nature Communications uncovers a U-shaped trajectory in gray matter volume during pregnancy and postpartum, linked to hormonal changes. Brain recovery postpartum correlates with maternal attachment. go.nature.com/4ho0Mm9

A personal story about how the potential grant funding freeze might affect science. Right now, I'm in my fourth year of a 5-year NIH grant and my last year of funding is supposed to start February 1st. I'm supporting a postdoc, two graduate students, and two lab managers

This week, a special issue on #WomensHealth highlights a growing wave of research focusing on women’s unique biological and psychological experiences. Learn more: scim.ag/41pQviq

THRILLED to see this SI now out addressing the power and potential of focusing our lens on women. H/t to Tali for making space for these ideas to flourish and for a dream team of investigators to contribute!!

Check out our latest research in the Women’s Health special issue of Science Advances! 🧠💡 We explore how birth experience and perinatal depression symptoms relate to neuroanatomical changes in the hippocampus and amygdala. 🔗 Read more: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧵👇

I posted this article about my student's grant cancellation this morning. A few minutes ago, I learned that another very talented student in my lab had their funding cancelled too. I'm heartbroken -- not just for my students, but for the future of science. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/my-students-…

The era of artificial scientific intelligence is here. As algorithms generate discoveries at scale, what role remains for human scientists?🤔 Thanks PLOS Biology for publishing my perspective Real AI @ UCSB UCSB ECE UC Santa Barbara's College of Engineering UC Santa Barbara ! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Tengo 40 años, vivo rodeada de gente de más o menos mi edad, no cumplimos con la categoría joven pero sí con que el principal agobio vital que tenemos es la vivienda. Esa es la cosa, que el problema de la vivienda no es una cosa “de jóvenes”, y una ayuda por edad no lo soluciona
