🐼 Our latest project started with @WWFINDIA coming to us with a success story.
Their project ‘Energy Transition in the Dairy Cold Chain’ was a solution to cut down farmers’ costs and bring down the dairy sector’s carbon footprint.

Thrilled to share @ScienceMagazine piece, a 10 yr obsession: developing brains get signals from the environment that shape emotional circuit maturation & impact mental health. What signals? which ones are 'bad'? how do they influence circuit refinement? science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

I am on maternity leave and trying to observe and capture as much as possible during this time. More time with him would be great as these little hands will grow so fast, but appreciating the moments I have. Don't know how parents do it without the time off.
