Katie A. McLaughlin, Lab Director, speaks about the neuroscience of trauma and adversity to journalists at the Dart Center at the Columbia Journalism School participating in the reporting institute on Early Experience and the Developing Brain.  Journalists from 26 countries participated in the institute, which was designed for reporters covering a wide range of issues, from local education and social policy to refugees, conflict and international public health. It focused on advancements in neuroscience and their implications for child development, concentrating especially on vulnerable children living in poverty and constantly changing, unstable environments.
