Check out some really cool findings from a study published in PLOS Biology last week! This article presents the new genetic component investigated by the study and also discusses these findings, and the environmental component of math ability, with the head of our lab, Dr. Melissa Libertus. Read this for a great perspective on the causes of the variation in math ability in children. We love seeing such neat science featured in the news! https://www.inverse.com/mind-/math-genetics-study-explained

Congratulations to the head of the Kids' Thinking Lab, Dr. Melissa Libertus, for receiving a 2020 LRDC Internal Grant with her collaborator, Dr. Diana Leyva! We are so excited for you!!
