We found that infants with more diverse gut microbiome in early infancy showed higher levels of negative affect during a study visit when they were 2.5 years old

Sarah C Vogel, PhD @sarahcvogel.bsky.social · Jun 6

In this pre-registered study, I examined associations between features of the infant gut microbiome from two time points and a behavioral measure of negative affect at 2.5 years old

The question isn’t whether people like my daughter have something to offer. It’s whether society is finally ready to stop measuring value with the wrong scale.
