• Comment: Lot's of claims without references. Given the editorial seat on two journals, subject likely meets WP:NACADEMIC but this will have to be verified with citations. I've conducted extensive copy-editing to bring this inline with the WP:MOS. Once approved, the {{autobiography}} tag can be replaced with a talk page {{connected contributor}} tag.

Jodi Pawluski is a neuroscientist, psychotherapist and affiliated researcher at the University of Rennes, France, who researches how the brain changes with parenting and perinatal mental illness.

Education

edit

Pawluski completed her BSc in Biopsychology at the University of British Columbia, her MA in Psychology at the University of Toronto, a PhD in Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia, and a Habilitation Degree (HDR) in Life Sciences at the University of Rennes.

Career and affiliations

edit

Pawluski teaches the Neuroscience of Perinatal Mental Illness course at the Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings[1][not specific enough to verify] and she is an international coordinator with Postpartum Support International.[2][not specific enough to verify] She is also an active member of the Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative[3][not specific enough to verify] and has written and edited contributions at Inspire the Mind.[4]

She is on the editorial board of Archives of Women's Mental Health[citation needed] (Springer) and Frontiers In Global Women's Health.[citation needed] She is also active in organizing the "International Meeting on the Neuroscience of Parenting".[citation needed]

She has received funding from national and international organizations such as NSERC (Canada),[citation needed] FNRS (Belgium),[citation needed] The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (USA),[5][not specific enough to verify] and BINC Geneva.[citation needed]

Research interests

edit

Pawluski's research focuses on understanding "mom brain" and how matrescence impacts neural, hormonal, and behavioral systems in the mother. In addition, she investigates the role of perinatal depression and its treatment on neurobehavioral outcomes in mother and offspring.[6][7][8] Findings from her research have been published in peer-reviewed journals, including neuroscience journals such as JAMA Neurology,[9] Trends in Neurosciences[10] and Nature Mental Health.[11]

Publications and media appearances

edit

In 2020, Pawluski started a podcast called Mommy Brain Revisited[12] which focuses on bringing current research on the parental brain to the general public. In 2022, she authored Mommy Brain: Découvrez les fabuleux pouvoirs du cerveau des mères ! published in French by Editions Larousse,[13] and in English (Mommy Brain: Discover the amazing power of the maternal brain) by Demeter Press.[14] She has consulted on books including Mother Brain by Chelsea Conaboy,[15] Mastrescence by Lucy Jones,[16] and Father Nature by James Rilling.[17]

Her work has been featured publications such as The New York Times[18], The Boston Globe[19], and Marie Claire.[20] She has been a guest on on national radio such as France Inter and BBC Radio Woman's Hour.

She has consulted at Biogen Therapeutics.[citation needed]
