Today’s Episode is a with the incredibly brilliant, incurably curious Dr. Livio Provenzi.  Livio is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of the Nervous System and Behavior at the University of Pavia, Italy. His interests span a myriad of scientific fields to include epigenetics and neuroscience with an emphasis on the neuropsychobiological dimensions underlying the early human connections in conditions of typical and atypical development, such as preterm birth, sensory deficits, and environmental alterations. 

He has a special interest in the first thousand days of life and the role of early parent-child interaction.  An author of over 100 published papers and two scientific text books, he is also a member of the international research group Separation and Closeness Experiences in the Neonatal Environment (SCENE), Editor in Chief for Frontiers in Pediatric Psychology, and member of the editorial board of Infant Behavior and Development and Plos One.
