Media
We love to share our research with the world! Our research focuses on early child development. We are currently focused on how humour, pretending, deception, learning, language, and object use develop in the first few years - and there’s so much to learn and share. We have chosen research topics that affect everyone’s day to day lives, and which are of interest to parents and everyday people in general. Because of this, our past research in these areas has received wide media attention, including television (e.g., BBC Scotland), radio (e.g., BBC 5; BBC World Service), and online (e.g., BBC Online; Forbes). We are very keen to talk to journalists and bloggers about our research, so please contact us at enquiries@babylovesscience.com if there is a story you’d like to cover, or if you’d like to be on our mailing list for press releases. You can also follow us on twitter or facebook for updates about our research.
