At the @bcdlab we have spent a good chunk of the last few years working on innovating the methods of infant developmental science. Below is a thread of methods papers with contributing authors from our lab! /1

Im very excited about this work out from our recent infant ssVEP study! Led by postdoc Maeve Boylan! After infants learn about objects while reading a book with a parent, their brains prioritize the processing of familiarity. jneurosci.org/content/45/42/…

We show that competitive neural interactions increased with age. While 6-month-old infants showed no competition, by 9 & 12 months, visuocortical responses favored the trained objects at the expense of untrained objects. And the type of label in the storybook didn’t matter.

The findings suggest that the brain's ability to prioritize and streamline learned objects develops with experience during the first year of life and that competitive neural interactions support early attention, perception, and learning.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!!

Today’s ACIP meeting promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines. AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations.

Five-alarm fire over in TX. A student argues that a Trump executive order declaring that there are only “two genders” means that no student, despite the course focus, subfields, and representative primary texts, can be subjected to “transgenderism.” And the university concedes.

A statement from Texas A&M University President Mark A. Welsh III:
I learned this afternoon that key leaders in the College of Arts and Sciences approved plans to continue teaching course content that was not consistent with the course’s published description. As a result, I directed the provost to remove the dean and department head from their administrative positions, effective immediately. Our students use the published information in the course catalog to make important decisions about the courses they take in pursuit of their degrees. If we allow different course content to be taught from what is advertised, we let our students down. When it comes to our academic offerings, we must keep our word to our students and to the state of Texas.

Ok @uf forcing staff back to work is making traffic horrible & parking impossible. Also people are angry bc traffic for an hour & 30 mins trying to park. Not a good plan: paying people to drive around angry on campus, when they could be peacefully productively working @ home.

ICYMI: Finally some good news! The senate committee rejected the 40% budget cut for NIH and instead endorsed a $400 million budget increase!
