- We're ecstatic to be talking today with Dr. Vlad Ayzenberg (@vayzenb.bsky.social) about his recent paper in Science Advances exploring the mechanisms that underpin object recognition in young children and adults. Stay tuned!
- 🚨 New ep! We talk w/ Professor Kiley Hamlin (@jkileyhamlin.bsky.social) about her dev sci path, training w/ legends (Woodward, Wynn, Bloom, Santos), & her Nature Comms paper showing 5-day-olds prefer helpers over hinderers. Plus: reconciling ManyBabies & replication woes. itsinnate.fireside.fm/31
- Want to know what makes today so special?! We get to chat with the inimitable Professor Kiley Hamlin (@jkileyhamlin.bsky.social) about her science journey, her recent paper in Nature Communications showing that sociomoral evaluation may be innate, and more! Stay tuned for the episode!

- In case you missed it, our discussion with Professor Rebecca Saxe (@rebeccasaxe.bsky.social) is live! Give it a listen, why don't ya?
- 🚨 New Episode! 🚨 We're thrilled to release another installment of "A conversation with a luminary," featuring *over 2 hours* with Professor Rebecca Saxe. We discuss her early life, science journey, mentorship under Nancy Kanwisher, her Theory of Mind work, & more! So fun! itsinnate.fireside.fm/30
- 🚨 New Episode! 🚨 We're thrilled to release another installment of "A conversation with a luminary," featuring *over 2 hours* with Professor Rebecca Saxe. We discuss her early life, science journey, mentorship under Nancy Kanwisher, her Theory of Mind work, & more! So fun! itsinnate.fireside.fm/30
- The good times keep rolling (at least for the pod)! We're so thrilled to be chatting today with Professor Rebecca Saxe (@rebeccasaxe.bsky.social) about her scientific journey, remarkable career, and much more. This will be another installment of "A conversation with a luminary". Stay tuned!
- Reupping this ↓ Oh, and spoiler: we'll be chatting with the inimitable Dr. Kiley Hamlin (@jkileyhamlin.bsky.social) on Aug 6 about that new Nature Comms paper showing that 5-day-olds are sensitive to helping & hindering! Could sociomoral evaluation (or its ingredients) really be innate?!
- Reposted by The It's Innate! PodcastMy paper with @stellalourenco.bsky.social is now out in Science Advances! We found that children have robust object recognition abilities that surpass many ANNs. Models only outperformed kids when their training far exceeded what a child could experience in their lifetime doi.org/10.1126/scia...
- Reposted by The It's Innate! PodcastSharing our new paper published today in Nature Communications. In my view, this is our clearest demonstration to date that something profoundly changes in how infants encode the world around them before and after the emergence of self-representation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Looks like we might have to have Dr. Hamlin and/or Dr. Geraci on to discuss this super cool paper!

- 🚨 New Episode! Our recent chat w/ Dr. Zsuzsa Kaldy (@zsuzsakaldy.bsky.social ) is up! We chat about her cog sci journey, her work on infant working memory, and a recent paper in which she argues that attention and working memory work in concert to pursue goals. So much fun! itsinnate.fireside.fm/29
- We want to hear from you, dear listener! Who would you like to hear us chat with on the next episode of The It's Innate! podcast? Nominate them in the comments below!
- 🚨 New episode! In this episode, we chat with graduate student extraordinaire, Sholei Croom, about their PNAS paper, "Seeing and Understanding Epistemic Actions". The paper explored whether learners can intuit what others are trying to learn simply from their actions. itsinnate.fireside.fm/28

- 🚨 New episode! We are excited to be releasing another "A conversation with a luminary" episode. In it, we chat with Professor Nora Newcombe (@noranewcombe.bsky.social) about her science journey, the geometric module, empiricism & nativism, among other things. Enjoy! itsinnate.fireside.fm/27
- Wondering when the next episode is going to drop? Fair question. We’ve got great convos waiting to be released, & we just need help getting them out! This is why we're looking for a PhD student in developmental cognitive science (or related field) to join our team as an editor!
- We are beyond excited to be talking with the distinguished Professor Nora Newcombe (@noranewcombe.bsky.social) today about her journey in science, her work on spatial thinking, among other things! Stay tuned for the episode!
- So thrilled to announce that we've released another "A conversation with a luminary" episode. In this long episode, we chat with luminary Professor Susan Carey! She talks about her career, the evolution of developmental cognitive science, iconic representations, and more! itsinnate.fireside.fm/26
- Be sure to listen to our latest episode, in which we chat with Professor Gert Westermann about how curiosity might work (among other things). itsinnate.fireside.fm/25
- 🚨 New episode 🚨 In it, we chat with Professor Gert Westermann about his work exploring the mechanstic basis of curiosity. Along the way he talks about his journey in science, the role of computational modeling, and his early encounter with nativism in a language class. itsinnate.fireside.fm/25
- In case you missed it, we've released another episode! Jenny and I chat about how infants might learn about the causal properties of animates and inanimates based on a recent paper by Deon. Lots to enjoy about this episode! itsinnate.fireside.fm/24
- 🚨 New episode! Deon and Jenny discuss how infants learn about causal actions of animates vs. inanimates, inspired by Deon's JEP:General paper. Academic job market, philosophy (e.g., Hume, Michotte), computational modeling, and developmental science—this episode has it all! itsinnate.fireside.fm/24
- Reposted by The It's Innate! PodcastHad a great time joining Deon and Jenny to chat about some recent ManyBabies projects!
- New episode! In it, we chat with Dr. Martin Zettersten (mzettersten.bsky.social) about a cool ManyBabies project assessing the reliability of infant directed speech! We also chat about his journey & his transition from postdoc to an assistant professor, among other things! itsinnate.fireside.fm/23
