Episode 25: The birth story of Curious Neuron

Host: Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.

Co-host: Marion Van Horn, Ph.D.

Guest: Today, we are interviewing our host!

Cindy Hovington is the founder of Curious Neuron, a parenting resource that is backed by science. Her mission is to summarize scientific research that is relevant to parenting and child development. Curious Neuron is based on 3 pillars to thrive as a parent and in turn, help our children thrive. First, we need to nurture ourselves, then our children and lastly, we need to nurture each other. She is the host of the Curious Neuron podcast, which recently received sponsorship from the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro. The Neuro is the first health sciences institution in the world to commit to Open Science, an approach to research that ensures scientific knowledge is shared widely and transparently.

Summary

We are re-launching the Curious Neuron Podcast! New episodes every Friday! We will keep them short and sweet because we know you are short on time. We will return our focus to summarizing research focused on parenting and child development.

I have never taken the time to chat about myself and how Curious Neuron was created. Today, my new co-host, Marion Van Horn, interviews me! We chat about Curious Neuron’s humble beginnings and my research during my doctorate degree.

Thank you to the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro for sponsoring the Curious Neuron Podcast.
