ManyBabies SOCIAL HOUR!

Come to the first ever ManyBabies virtual coffee/happy hour! Heidi (MB’s director) and Grace (MB’s office assistant extraordinaire) will open a Zoom room and hope that people stop by to say “hi.” Join us for one minute or the whole hour, it’s completely up to you! This will be a completely informal and friendly way to meet fellow ManyBabyites (ManyBabians? ManyBabyers?), put faces to names, and/or see old friends. You can find the Zoom link via the ManyBabies calendar. (view, subscribe, add event to your calendar)

[Let us know if you're interested in attending future social events at other times.]

project updates

🥳 🎉 MB2’s Stage 1 registered report has been accepted in-principle at Child Development! The MB2 Project Leads will be in touch with the team soon via the MB2 listserv to coordinate next steps (including data collection!). Congrats to the MB2 team on reaching this major milestone! 🎉 👏

A revised version of MB3's Stage 1 registered report is currently under review, and plans are being made for data collection. Labs interested in contributing to data collection are called to please fill out this brief (2-min) survey (Note: If your lab has previously completed this form, you do not need to fill it out again). If you have any questions or would like to contribute in another way, email Ingmar Visser.

The MB5 team is finishing up a Stage 1 registered report, which will be shared with all collaborators via the MB5 listserv ahead of submission to Nature Human Behaviour. Project contributors will be invited to a Zoom meeting in March to discuss the experimental details (timing TBD). While the registered report is under review, we hope that several labs will help out with testing some pilot participants. If you have questions or wish to join MB5, please email Jessica Kosie and/or Martin Zettersten.
