The MB5N leadership team created a survey to crowdsource camera and microphone recommendations for in-lab recordings. Please share your favorite gear—and any "lessons learned" on what to avoid. We will share what we learn with the community through the MB5N manual.

MBAH-LWL (Looking While Listening): The Stage 1 Registered Report has now been submitted to a journal for peer review. A preprint of the manuscript can be found HERE. We will soon be announcing a call for participation and sharing relevant project materials!

Great News: Developmental Science invited a re-submission requesting ‘minor revisions’!

MB4I (individual differences): Manuscript writing is currently in progress, and the first draft will be shared in approximately two months.

MB5 data collection will be starting in June! Participating labs are asked to check their info on the MB5 Project Tracker and submit updates if needed. If you missed the major update that was sent out to the mb5-listserv earlier this week or if you have any questions, please contact us!

MB5N (naturalistic): please see the announcement above to help us learn more about recording parent-child interactions!

Working groups are underway with some spin-off groups being formed soon. We are still looking for more collaborators from the global south! If you are interested, email us at mb8@manybabies.org.
