Thrilled to announce the opening of my lab @MGH_RI @harvardmed. Our group will study how sex differences in neuro-immune interactions and immunometabolism impact neurodevelopment. We are hiring across all levels, please RT! Check out our research: bordtlab.com/

My first preprint is up! We tested some of the main predictions of the Dynamic Framework of mind wandering, which, while compelling, didn't pan out here. We need to either inject more nuance into our theories, or seriously reconsider the ways we probe for "dynamic thought."
