Announcing a new Discussion Group: Early Stressors on Brain Development. A discussion group format will allow presentations/overviews on subject matter that isn’t necessarily tied to a single article. Potential topics include
- socioeconomic status
- stress
- nutrition
- depression
- early institutional/foster care
The group will meet on the third Thursday of each month, 4-5p, and meetings will alternate between the Danforth and Medical Campuses. Stay tuned as a web page is created for this discussion group. In the meantime, contact Anneliese Schaefer if you’d like to be added to a distribution list.
