Research in the field comes from a concern over terminal conditions that can be erased early in fetal development. However, gene editing also leads to questions about designer babies and eugenics.

Amidst class registration, students are under pressure to stack advanced classes in their schedules for the next year. These pressures may be employed by either parents, piers, or oneself to do the most. Advanced Placement classes show admissions officers that you're ready for college-level work, and help improve your transcript. However, pushing oneself past their limits can result in major stress, and can negatively impact their mental health.

A newly released psychological study explores neurobiological differences between black and white children ages 9 to 10. Surveys and brain scans of 1,786 Black and 7,350 white participants reflect these differences. White children compared to black children have more grey matter in the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus. These small developmental differences have been connected to marital hardship, neighborhood disadvantages, and trauma history that led to greater disadvantages for Black children. This piece is meant to connect black trauma surrounding police bias with brain development.
