Serotonin Receptor Binding and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
A number of articles hit the news in May 2023 regarding Serotonin Receptor Binding and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The
news refers to a Harvard team study that was published May 25, 2023 in "Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology", Volume 82, Issue 6, June 2023, Pages 467–482. We
have received many e-mail messages asking for more information. The public has been on an
information roller coaster, the result of an explosion of medical reports, each heralding
a "breakthrough in SIDS research." We need to help people separate myth from
fact and risk factor from cause. We will post information as it becomes available to us.

Loss Research Project: Would you be willing to share your thoughts on your journey post child-loss and how marketing has helped or hurt you along the way?
The project involves interviewing loss moms to see how marketing has hurt or helped them after loss (e.g., think of those formula samples that just keep coming and retrigger feelings of no longer having a child). The study goal is to find out if there are things that loss moms want from companies or anything that can be done to ease the pain and better honor one's child.
If you are interested, details on the study can be found at https://elizabethminton.weebly.com/loss.html.
