So here we go. I have been thinking of starting a blog for sometime but something always came up. I guess that is how it goes being a full time working scientist, wife, and a mom to an inquisitive, outgoing, fearless toddler.
A little bit about myself, I am a formally trained scientist. I am not a medical doctor, nor am I giving out medical advice. I have a PhD in Neuroscience, specializing in Development Biology. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow, researching the early genetic patterning events that lead to the development of the skeletal system. I am not speaking as an expert in the field of child development, but more as a mom who enjoys researching questions that I have about my developing toddler through peer-reviewed scientific literature. My goal with this blog is to summarize the scientific findings and what I have learned and distribute it to a wider audience. Any medical relevant topics that may be addressed should be used more as a starting point to discuss the topic with your doctor.
Additionally, I would love to have some of my other scientist Mommies and Daddies out there possibly contribute some blog posts, including my Neuroscientist Husband. Over two years ago, five of our graduate school friends became first time parents and in the next few months four more will be joining us in this amazing journey called parenthood. Here is too all the INS babies!
I look forward to and encourage your input, the sharing of your own experiences, and your feedback. Hopefully you will enjoy reading the site as much as I enjoy writing it.
