Science doesn’t belong in an ivory tower; it belongs in the hands of those who can use it. In the second week of our focus on ‘Foundations,’ isey_uel Lead Researcher Gemma Goldenberg explains the ‘why’ behind our Year of Health focus. In Newham, healthy life expectancy is a decade lower than in other parts of London. Closing that gap starts with understanding the neuroscience of the first 1,000 days. From our Institute for the Science of Early Year and Youth (ISEY) at UEL to the nursery floor, we are designing the interventions that help children thrive—here in east London and for the world. #UELResearch
