This study tested prenatal care experiences and parents’ perceptions of their child. Provider statements influence perceptions of the child before birth & correlate with how parents view their infants at 18 months.

The statements made may seem small, but they related to parent perceptions of child difficulties almost 2 years later 🤯

This study opens the door for considering how statements made about the baby-- before they are even born-- influence ideas of who those babies are

Results suggest what patients hear in prenatal care settings may set a tone for parent-child relationships, which are central to child development

🚨 New Paper 🚨 Excited to share our work investigating how prenatal descriptions of babies relate to prenatal care visits AND how these descriptions relate to later child outcomes. With @klhumphreys.bsky.social a 🧵

I was happy to #standupforscience2025 yesterday. And of course, I have been thinking about things I didn't have a chance to say.

Like because of the chaos at NIH (and the freezing of funding), how my team has been waiting for NOAs for two non-competing renewals since mid-January.

Inside the Collapse at NIH Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

By @katherinejwu.com

"The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,”

The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

VA Research Funding Slashed Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl.

can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

National Insitutes of Health funding cuts by Trump administration benefit no one | Opinion Indirect funds are essential for supporting the research infrastructure needed to develop innovative solutions to the most pressing health challenges.

I wrote an op-ed for voters in a red state about how devastating NIH indirect cuts are. This type of writing isn’t my comfort zone, but I think we as scientists need to get the word out. Happy to chat with others looking to do the same in their communities!
