In this episode, we turn our attention to research by and with people of the global
majority. Children and adolescents in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin
America comprise a large majority of the world's population. Yet their data
experiences and perspectives are marginalized in developmental research,
including in developmental cognitive neuroscience. In this episode, we'll chat
about developmental science involving people of the global majority and how
trainees might play a role in the future of this work. We're joined by amazing guests Drs. Sarael Alcauter, Lucia Magis-Weinberg, and Gabriel Scheidecker

Much of our research doesn't exist without the families that participate. Community-engaged research seeks to bring those families to the table to learn from their expertise and lived-experiences. To learn more about how developmental cognitive neuroscientists are doing this work, we are joined by Drs. Arianna Gard & Kalina Michalska. We discuss the importance of community-engaged research, how to get started, and how this might look at different career stages.

Open science is becoming increasingly important in our field, yet the nuances of it can be intimidating for trainees. To think about how trainees in developmental cognitive neuroscience can best engage in preregistrations, we're joined by a renowned expert Dr. Russell Poldrack. We discuss general purposes of preregistrations, do's and don'ts, how to address common mistakes, and more!

Applying to Ph.D. programs is one of the most important, exciting, and stressful periods of the scientific journey. To provide perspectives and tips for graduate school applications, we're joined by Dr. Laurel Gabard-Durnam, a faculty member at Northeastern University and Ellie Taylor, a lab manager at the University of Maryland and current graduate school applicant. We touch on numerous topics along our way, including when to apply, tips for building the best application, and the importance of self care. We hope this episode is useful for any trainee currently applying or considering applying to graduate school in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or related fields.

Many of us in developmental cognitive neuroscience aim to make a positive impact on the world through our science. In this episode, we hear from Dr. Natalie Brito and Dr. Katie Insel about their experiences translating their science for different audiences to support developmental opportunities for newborns and adolescents. Along the way, we touch on topics like facing your fears, science communication, the myth of objectivity, and the importance of community and collaboration.

For our 9th episode of Season 1 we take a clinical perspective to developmental cognitive neuroscience! We discuss what we have learned from cognitive neuroscience that benefits clinical practice, the mutually informative backgrounds that clinical and neuroscience training each offer,  collaboration, and more. We're joined by great guests Dr. Dylan Gee (Twitter @dylanggee), Dr. Christian Tamnes (cktamnes), and Teresa Vargas (tersvar), that each have extensive clinical and neuroscientific backgrounds. Apologies for some of the audio issues this episode!
