After becoming a mom for the first time in 2015, I learned that there were very few evidence-based resources available to support parents.

I left academia to stay home with my 3 children and decided that I needed to create a reliable and science-backed resource that ALL parents can access. This is how Curious Neuron was born and has grown into a community of over 50,000 international parents.

By making science accessible to parents, we make informed decisions about our children and develop tools and skills that help us and our children thrive.
