Congratulations to Evan Rignalda, who presented a poster on his summer project at the Summer Undergraduate Research Conference (SURC)! ✨ Evan’s project examines how parents’ verbal and nonverbal math input relates to the neurocognitive basis of early numerical processing in 4- to 6-year-olds. Thanks to @uiowaour for their support. We look forward to seeing this work in print! 🧠🧮 #uiowadenlab #dcn #fnirs by @uiowadenlab

🔢 Now recruiting: families with kids ages 2–6! 🌟

The DEN Lab at the University of Iowa is studying how young children think about numbers, and we’d love for your family to be part of it. We’re proud to be one of 100+ sites worldwide in the ManyNumbers research network. 🌍

🎓 Cheering on Berlin today! In just a short time with us, Berlin packed in so much, picking up fNIRS, jumping in as an RA across both our child and pregnancy studies, and even launching a multi-lab collaboration with the ManyBabies network! 🍼 Up next: cancer research before heading to medical school! 🩺✨ Berlin, your curiosity and drive are going to take you so far. Thank you for everything! We will be rooting for you every step of the way! 💛 @berlin.troendle by @uiowadenlab

🎓 So proud of Rebecca today! Rebecca has been a cornerstone of our lab, running sessions, leading transcriptions of hours and hours of parent child interactions, presenting at conferences, and leading a first-author paper on mental health and neural synchrony! 📄✨ Rebecca was always there when we needed her. Beyond the lab, she helped children by pouring her heart into leading Dance Marathon. Next chapter: Northwestern University for her Master’s in Prosthetics and Orthotics (MSPO), then on to residency and boards to become a Certified Prosthetist/Orthotist (CPO)! 🦿 The future is lucky to have you, Rebecca. Thank you for everything. We will miss you! 💛 @rebecca.hughes1 by @uiowadenlab

🎓 Celebrating Jackie today! Jackie poured so much into DEN lab - leading transcriptions of many, many parent-child interactions, contributing to our earliest bilingual studies, researching variability in parent-child neural synchrony as a function of SES, supporting our outreach efforts, and presenting our work at conferences. Next stop: getting ready for medical school! 🩺 We can’t wait to cheer you on. Thank you for everything, Jackie. We will miss you! 💛 @_jackiehernandez._ by @uiowadenlab

🎓 Congratulations, Bhoomika! From earning the UI LSAMP and ICRU fellowships, to presenting our work at the Iowa State Capitol and at conferences in California and Illinois, to contributing to studies on green space and child development and the neural representation of math in preschoolers — Bhoomika has done it all. Thank you for everything you brought to the lab. We’ll miss you! 💛✨ @bhoomika.shettigar by @uiowadenlab

Our intervention paper based on a collaboration between @kudilvebilis and the DEN is now out! This study was led by @kudilvebilis grad student @beggyilmaz Begum Yilmaz. We showed potentially positive effects of encouraging parents to gesture during book reading on both parent math talk and child arithmetic performance. Enjoy! 🧮🧠🧑‍🧒 by @uiowadenlab
