On the latest episode of <strong>Just Like Nana<\/strong>, I discuss my research into the maternal effect.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using animal models and human observation, we\u2019ve seen that tactile care and early interactions don&#8217;t just affect the next generation; they leave molecular marks that can persist through granddaughters and beyond. Understanding this doesn&#8217;t just explain our past\u2014it gives us the agency to shape the future of our family lineages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the episode to learn more about the multi-generational reach of care: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2552842\/episodes\/18969508\"><strong>https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2552842\/episodes\/18969508<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research in the Champagne Lab explores the developmental plasticity that occurs in response to environmental experiences.
