Stay tuned to this site for occasional coverage of recent findings about brainy motherhood. Here's one of the latest: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4267857.stm

Also, the fascinating Claire Vanston and Neil Watson research I referred to as unpublished, concerning the possible impact of a baby's gender on a pregnant woman's cognitive performance, has recently been published, in the online bulletin NeuroReport.

On the climate change front, I'm starting a very informal group called Mothers for a Future.
If you've followed the link on the home page, or if you have already read up on this subject, you may share my concern. If so, you don't need to register. Just take the time, over the next few weeks, to do one or all of four things:

1. Read up on the Apollo Alliance, a visionary idea for America's future.


2. Write your congressional representatives to tell them you want to see more aggressive U.S. action on this front.


3. Write a letter to your local or regional newspaper, asking for more coverage of this issue.


4. Talk about it with other moms. After all, as Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm says, we're used to cleaning up other people's messes!
