I've opened a BlueSky account: @CdeWeerth.bsky.social
Excited to start posting there. Hope to see many of you again there, and if not, goodbye for now!
Another incredibly helpful resource from the @UNICEF nutrition team on countering industry arguments, which so often stymie Code implementation in many countries. Check it out below 👇

Grateful to Wiley the Developmental Science Editors for inviting a vision for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in developmental research. My editorial is now published. I welcome all feedback. Look forward to participating in much-needed change. bit.ly/3WwSE9t
Everybody who has had a child knows that it changes you. Now, researchers are starting to understand how pregnancy transforms the brain to prepare it for parenthood. Read more in a @nature news feature by @liamjdrewnature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Ever wondered how often and for how long mothers take babies on walks? And how often babies sleep outside? And how much mothers use a baby carrier? See the results of our survey for mothers (N=1275) of 0- to 12-month-old infants! www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.ru.idm.…
Science is not really happening when the goal is a paper, a presentation, a grant, or any product. It only really happens when the goal is a process of discovery.
Finland group downgrades 60 Journals
“The 60 journals will be downgraded from level 1 to level 0 at the start of 2025. Of these, 21 are from MDPI, three from Wiley, and three from Frontiers”
These findings show the potential of social flexibility to provide resilience to rapid and unpredictable environmental disturbances and emphasize a dynamic link between the environment and fitness consequences of social behavior. Illustrative work by amazing @HuWantsToKnow below
In the post-disaster world, *heat* is now a critical threat. Macaques who were more tolerant of others are better able to access shade, lower their body temperature and, ultimately, 42% more likely to survive.
*Very* excited to see the last study of my PhD making the cover of @ScienceMagazine on the macaques of @CayoSantiagoPR.
We show that ecological disturbances can alter selective pressures on social ties leading to persistent societal changes.

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there! I wrote a piece about how your brain can shrink (but it might be a good thing). nytimes.com/2024/06/16/opini…
Laat wetenschap werken. Zonder ons onderzoek grotere gezondheidsverschillen!
De aangekondigde bezuinigingen op de wetenschap hebben forse impact op ons onderzoek. Zonder ons onderzoek geen oplossingen voor (maatschappelijke) problemen.
why does this 800 year old quote about london lowkey make it sound really cool??
ALT image text: image contains text that reads: You will come to London. Behold, I warn you, whatever of evil or of perversity there is in any, whatever in all parts of the world, you will find in that city alone. Go not to the dances of panders, nor mix yourself up with the herds of the stews; avoid the talus and the dice, the theatre and the tavern. You will find more braggadocios there than in all France, while the number of flatterers is infinite. Stage players, buffoons, those that have no hair on their bodies, Garamantes, pickthanks, catamites, effeminate sodomites, lewd musical girls, druggists, lustful persons, fortunetellers, extortioners, nightly strollers, magicians, mimics, common beggars, tatterdemalions,—this whole crew has filled every house. So if you do not wish to live with the shameful, you will not dwell in London.
As an early nod to Father's Day, I'd like to highlight this @nature paper showing that mitochondrial RNAs that sens paternal diet and mitochondrial quality are transferred from sperm to egg, affecting the metabolism of their offspring nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
