The It's Innate! Podcast

Why is the entire GOP traveling to Israel constantly? Does no one find this weird?

Not only are we back with wn episode but with a brand new series called "A conversation with a luminary", where we chat with a trailblazer in dev psych. We're kicking things off with a conversation with the Rubinstein Professor Jenny Saffran! Enjoy! itsinnate.fireside.fm/21

We're now also on Bluesky! Be sure to give us a follow over there! bsky.app/profile/theits…

You don't want to miss our latest, nearly 2-hr episode with Dr. Brandon Woo (@brandonmwoo)!

New episode!🚨 We chat with Dr. Brandon Woo (@brandonmwoo) about new work exploring whether prereaching infants can infer others' goals! BTW, Brandon is actively recruiting PhD students, so be sure to apply if you like what you hear in the episode! itsinnate.fireside.fm/20

In case you missed our latest tweet, we are back and we're here to stay! Give our latest episode with Wai Keen Vong (@wkvong) a listen, especially if you're interested in the debate about whether word learning is innate or learned! share.fireside.fm/episode/R8yhKe…

By the way, we've been busy recording episodes with both rising stars and luminaries in the field and plan to release 1-2 episodes per month, starting with this one! This also means that our most recent extended break is hopefully the last one of its kind!

Exciting episode! 🎙️ We chat with Dr. Wai Keen Vong (@wkvong), lead author of the Science paper where an artificial neural network mapped words to referents using a child's egocentric recordings. Plus, we dive into Wai's journey in science! share.fireside.fm/episode/R8yhKe…

We made it happen! We chatted with Dr. Margaret Echelbarger (@tweetsbymidge) about her path to higher ed, what it's like being a developmentalist in a business school, and one of her papers looking at kids' thinking about variety and scarcity! Can't wait to release the episode!

Thank you! ☺️

We were so fortunate to talk with Dr. Dana Miller-Cotto (@danacotto) about her views on parenting in academia, about her early relationship with mathematics, about her research on working memory and early mathematics performance, and more! Enjoy! share.fireside.fm/episode/R8yhKe…

We have the pleasure of speaking with the brilliant Dr. Dana Miller-Cotti (@danacotto) today about her work on the relation between working memory & achievement, as well as her thoughts on culturally responsive ways to study executive function in minoritized children. Stay tuned!
