The research team makes a splash in 2024!

ZIGI Research’s current project is to develop resources for prospective parents who work in Neuroscience Labs. This initiative aims to empower prospective parents with crucial information to navigate reproductive hazards found in the workplace. Over the course of this year, we refined our project goals during meetings and discussions, resulting in a detailed plan for our upcoming publication and a vision for an accessible tool we will build on the ZIGI website. We recruited an undergraduate assistant for the Fall semester to finalize data collection. Additionally, we hosted a crowd-sourcing event to gather specific data on adverse effects, exposure, timing, and safety of specific hazards, which will be incorporated into our publication and web tool. Our ongoing collaboration with Columbia University EH&S continues to be instrumental in gathering all the necessary information for this project. We will present a Theme J poster at SfN in October, prepare a manuscript in the Fall and focus on web development and communications in the Spring of this upcoming year.
