I had a great time in San Francisco with my friend and collegue Rachel. Besides enjoying downtown SF, I learned tons at the conference. So much that I am trying to absorb and comment on. But, in the meantime, I met a professor from Arizona State, Dr. Jill Stamm. We not only attended her presentation, but also had the opportunity to have lunch with her. She wrote an excellent book that I purchased and sent to my sister in law. Anyone who is pregnant and looking for a great book that synthesizes the research on brain development and learning for infants and toddlers should pick it up. Here is the link to her book:
