Excited to share I’ve been awarded a 2-year @bbrfoundation Young Investigator Grant! This will support my work on brain changes linked to perinatal depression, building on my research in human maternal brain. Grateful to be at @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social with Dr. @emilyjacobs.bsky.social !

If you have expertise in MRI/behavioral data collection and are eager to break into the women's brain health/human neuroendocrinology field, this is an outstanding opportunity for you! Plus you get to live in beautiful Santa Barbara ☀️ 🌊 🌴 ⛰️

We’re thrilled to welcome @susanacarmona.bsky.social @neuromaternal.bsky.social to Santa Barbara as a Bowers WBHI Visiting Faculty Fellow to discuss the maternal brain #bowerswbhi #maternalbrainhealth #ucsb @magdamartinezga.bsky.social

Sadly I won’t be at #OHBM2025 this year, but my poster on the Global Maternal Brain Project @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social will be there! Feel free to stop by & reach out if you’d like to connect. Don’t miss the amazing talks by my colleagues @laurapritschet.bsky.social, Winnie Orchard & Caitlin Taylor ✨

Pregnancy &motherhood transform the brain in ways we're only beginning to understand🧠 Uncovering these changes w/ @susanacarmona.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social @emilyjacobs.bsky.social @grotzinger.bsky.social Kaya Jordan & @cziscience.bsky.social's generous support! tinyurl.com/38jb7hm6

Unique opportunity to join our team!

A dream come true to present my research program in my fav conference, the Parental Brain & my dear home country, Spain. Through the @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social I’m committed to promote deeply collaborative science in the human maternal brain field. This is just the beginning!

Such a pleasure to share our work with your research institute!

Excited to be heading to Barcelona next week for the Parental Brain Conference! I’ll be speaking on “Promoting Big Datasets & Collaboration in Human Maternal Brain Research through @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social ” on Friday, May 9. Can’t wait to connect with this amazing community! #PB2025

THRILLED to see this SI now out addressing the power and potential of focusing our lens on women. H/t to Tali for making space for these ideas to flourish and for a dream team of investigators to contribute!!

Dropping 🔥🔥🔥 knowledge @susanacarmona.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social @sheilashanmugan.bsky.social Laura Pritschet Do not miss a slew of top notch papers on the maternal brain in this SI www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/h...

If you’re in San Diego and curious about the neuroscience of human pregnancy, join me next Thursday for a talk at the Center for Perinatal Discovery @ucsdmedschool.bsky.social,invited by Dr. Ina Stelzer. Excited to share insights-come say hi!

Thank you @emilyjacobs.bsky.social for the invite to talk today about the intersection of computational psychiatry and algorithmic fairness. There are more open questions than answers in this space, and we need diverse people + ideas to make progress!

Our issue on Cognition and Motherhood is out at Archives of Women's Mental Health (Springer) - edited with Dr Bridget Callaghan! bit.ly/3POHxWD Check out the exciting papers from teams of Prof Paola Dazzan, Prof Darby Saxbe, FinnBrain Study, Prof Helena Rutherford, Dr Sivan Raz and more.

After 5 years of data collection (179 first-time mothers + controls), the first bemother.eu/en/ paper is out! We uncovered a U-shaped trajectory in maternal GM volume, resolving a long-standing puzzle in the maternal brain field. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy New Year🎉 Thrilled to start 2025 with $1M from @cziscience.bsky.social @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social to study the maternal brain using AI! Grateful for the chance to advance science for mothers worldwide 🧠 @emilyjacobs.bsky.social @susanacarmona.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social

Proud to present our most recent paper on #citizenscience #womenshealth #microbiome on this new platform - from our Isala project www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Loved getting to meet with @emilyjacobs.bsky.social and her lab group (including star postdoc @magdamartinezga.bsky.social) at UCSB! @philnewsomejr.bsky.social and Anthony Vaccaro joined me from USC...we got to nerd out about parental brain changes and & see some beautiful intensively sampled data

Most viewed reel in Nature’s history?! 🎤💧 Let this be the rallying cry: women’s health can’t wait. @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-nl...

Hi 🦋, here’s our roadmap to✨advance the neuroscience of human pregnancy ✨. Precision imaging and large-scale consortia are the two paths forward, feeding into each other. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
