spring conference
Pathways of Risk and Resilience
A two day convening of leading scientists and trainees focused on how early adversity becomes biologically embedded and how resilience emerges across development, from brain systems to family processes.
The Georgia Center for Developmental Science’s inaugural spring conference will be hosted in the Special Collections Library on the campus of the University of Georgia, April 22nd – 23rd.
The Georgia Center for Developmental Science brings together researchers across disciplines to advance discovery on stress, adversity, and resilience in children and families, translating developmental science and neuroscience into insights that can inform prevention, intervention, and policy.
