This week's episode is on the  English Romanian adoptee study (ERA). The ERA study is the first study to examine the long-term effects of early severe childhood deprivation on development. It dates back to 1960’s Romania, after the fall of Nicolai Ceausescu, the communist leader at the time, and its research is still ongoing up to date.

Today, 20 years later, I speak to Professor Sonuga-Barke, one of the leading researchers of  the study, about the most important findings in the research, and also where the children (or  adults) are now.
