Dr. Jane Goodall was one of my science heroes throughout my life. May we contribute as much, be as fascinated by nature and science as much, and do as much good and instill as much hope as she did. RIP, Dr. Goodall.

Very happy to have gotten to work with @deannajgreene.bsky.social and Steve Petersen on this article in Neuropsychopharmacology: "Considerations for conducting dev neuroimaging research on mental health topics". Hopefully trainees and clinicians will find it useful! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A spot of good news: there’s a new PhD in the lab! DR. Blaire Porter!

I am SO pleased to be promoted to Full Professor this fall (official today!), but I am despairing about the attacks on science. My study section at NIH was just cancelled because HHS has blocked the required federal registry for meetings. It has been a disastrous 2025. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hey all! My DCN lab at UT Austin studies the dev of control in brain (fMRI) and behavior of children and teens. We study control in relation to reading and math as well as in relation to mental health difficulties (esp ADHD). labs.la.utexas.edu/church-lang/ We also like to decorate the lab door! 😂 🧠
