The bigots, xenophobes, and racists that have always run the roost in rural America never understand that discriminated people have options other than living in some backwater. Cities drive economic growth, education, innovation, creativity, and societal advancement. These yobs have undermined their communities for generations. washingtonpost.com/food/intera

[Moreover, in “borrowing” the equivalent of 4.1 planets’ worth of #biocapacity, #Canadians are #consuming more of the Earth’s biocapacity & resources than we are entitled to, if everyone on #Earth were to get their #FairShare .
In doing so we are, in effect, taking precious resources not only from others around the world who need them for their own #human & #SocialDevelopment, but from #FutureGenerations and from other #species .]

Scientists Uncover a Gut-Brain Connection for Social Development.

Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behavior, research in zebrafish shows. The pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior.

To socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut

According to recent studies on zebrafish, gut microbes play a role in the process of pruning excess connections in brain circuits that regulate social behavior.

To celebrate the fact my mentee, Tara Karasewich, passed her PhD defense this week (🎉 🎉 🎉 ), I thought I'd highlight a paper of hers that appeared in Developmental Review:

Trait social anxiety as a conditional adaptation: A developmental and evolutionary framework

Journal DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.dr.2019.1008

This image contains the abstract for the paper.  The abstract reads:
Abstract
Individuals with trait social anxiety are disposed to be wary of others. Although feeling social anxiety is unpleasant, evolutionary psychologists consider it to be an adaptation. In current models, social anxiety is described as functioning to have helped our prehistoric ancestors avoid social threat by warning individuals when their interactions with other group members were likely to be negative and motivating them to act in ways to prevent conflict or limit its damage. Thus, trait social anxiety is thought to have evolved in our species because it allowed our ancestors to preserve their relationships and maintain their positions in social hierarchies. While we agree with this conclusion drawn by existing evolutionary models, we believe that there is an important element missing in these explanations: the role that individual development has played in the evolution of trait social anxiety. We propose a new model, which argues for trait social anxiety to be considered a conditional adaptation; that is, the trait should develop as a response to cues in the early childhood environment in order to prepare individuals to face social threat in adulthood. Our evolutionary model can provide new insights into how trait social anxiety has persisted in our species and how it functions in the modern world.

Understanding Social and Emotional Development in Preschoolers

It’s easy to monitor your preschooler’s physical development as he or they grow taller, bigger, and stronger. In preschool, your child will enter into the world filled with structured and informal learning, and one that places high value on good behavior and cooperation.
