Today’s episode features an interview with Dr. Ashley Wazana, a child psychiatrist and researcher on prenatal stress (and Shalaka’s thesis supervisor!). The episode aims to answer the question: What is prenatal programming?
The interview covers:
-how influences during pregnancy can affect child development after birth
-why this research is important
-who conducts this kind of research, and how they do it
-some of the big questions being investigated right now in the field
In the post-interview discussion (33:42), Alyson and Shalaka discuss how this research can influence actual parenting practices.
