Breastmilk Ecology: Genesis of Infant Nutrition (BEGIN) Meeting Series--Working Group 4: Integration and Application
A deeper understanding of the biology of human milk is essential to address ongoing and emerging questions about infant feeding practices. Human milk is a complex biological system, a matrix of many interacting parts, that is more than the sum of those parts. Its production needs to be studied as an ecology that consists of inputs from the mother, her breastfeeding baby, and their respective environments. The Breastmilk Ecology: Genesis of Infant Nutrition (BEGIN) meeting series is designed to examine this ecology, its functional implications for both mother and infant. The goal is to develop a targeted research agenda to ...

A new study shows that infants are more likely to learn from on-screen instruction when paired with
Researchers have found neural evidence of early learning among infants who were coupled with a peer, as compared to those infants who viewed the instruction alone. Critically, the more often that new, unfamiliar partners were paired with the infants, the better results the babies showed.This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

A protein that helps fish send covert electrical signals could inform new treatments for epilepsy
Fish known as "baby whales" possess a protein that enables them to communicate using electrical signals, and thus avoid predators. Turns out, this same protein exists in the hearts and muscles of humans, and a better understanding of its function could lead to improved treatments for heart ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

Baby snowshoe hare
From an evolutionary perspective, prey animals like this 12-hour-old snowshoe hare, born into an environment fraught with danger, benefit if they are born wary and fearful, so they are automatically hiding, even though they have never seen a predator before.

Baby boom in Southwestern Native Americans (Image 2)
Ears of corn, or maize, from a "Basketmaker II period" cache in Colorado dating to the third century B.C. Maize was grown in the Southwestern United States as early as 2000 B.C. and by 400 B.C., the crop provided 80 percent of the region's calories. [Image 2 of 6 related images.
