Special recognition to Dr. Tristan Yates, who has made a groundbreaking discovery about how babies form early-life memories. Her research offers new insights into infant brain development and has been featured in an interview with NPR. You can listen to the full interview and learn more on NPR's website.
Our very own Dr. Nim Tottenham has been elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, along with eight other Columbia faculty. The society was founded in 1780 and includes world-leading scientists, scholars, artists, and public leaders. This prestigious honor is well deserved, and we are grateful to learn and explore with her guidance!
Anna Vannucci was interviewed for Columbia News about her paper on early childhood adversity. We are so proud of all the work she has done with the lab and the waves she continues to make!
Congratulations to Dr. Nim Tottenham, who has been named the 2023 Rovee-Collier Mentor Award Winner by the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology! We are thrilled to celebrate your exceptional mentorship!
We are delighted to share that Anna Vannucci is an awardee of The NIH Blueprint and BRAIN Initiative Diversity Specialized Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Advancement in Neuroscience (D-SPAN) Award! This award supports the pre- to post-doctoral transition of diverse graduate students, and will facilitate Anna's ongoing investigation of the developmental neurocomputational mechanisms that link early-life adversity to affective behaviors. Congratulations, Anna!
