Research in the area of stress, early experiences, and development (SEED) is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, integrating psychology, pediatrics, public health, biology, sociology, technology, and other disciplines. This trend is particularly exciting, as it broadens the research questions and types of problems researchers will be able to solve. For example, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death for men and women (Heron, 2018), and child obesity rates in both developed and developing countries are alarmingly high (World Health Organization, 2018). Meanwhile, global malnutrition remains a problem, with around 155 million children experiencing growth stunting, which has major implications for brain development and health (World Health Organization, 2018).
