Great talk from @Dr_LewisBear at US DOHaD Mtg highlighting psych/neuro study populations NEED MORE DIVERSITY. 80% of subjects are WEIRD (western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic)=12% of world. Her lab is doing better but also spotlighted great work from @TGenMINDCROWD – at Minneapolis, MN

We need to keep recognizing that we have important people to acknowledge for the lands we occupy native-land.ca – at Minneapolis, MN

Reminder from US DOHaD speaker Michael Georgieff that cancer survival (National Cancer Institute, NCI) has fortunately hugely benefited from 4-5x as much NIH research funding as NIMH, NICHD et al. for decades. Could we distribute NIH funds differently now to make more progress? – at Minneapolis, MN

Michael Georgieff (UMinn) as first awesome US DOHaD Meeting speaker. Important idea…Paraphrasing —there’s a trade-off: brain can do more as it develops but loses its high ability to change. Early Development Matters!!! – at Minneapolis, MN

Science caravan in Twin Cities continues. Ready to learn about Developmental Origins of Health and Disease at University of Minnesota. Getting inspired by amazing authentic German food @partyatglueks with PENDL lab manager @RobertJTaylorJr

On the science caravan to Minneapolis for the US DOHAD conference @DOHaD_Society. Women scientists laying the groundwork for creative teaching and learning the next 3 days. @BanuGPhD @DrSaraUIowa
