This July, Antonia Düfeld and Sarah Jessen went to the International Congress of Infant Studies (ICIS) in Glasgow to present new data on the role of paternal odor in early social development. The conference was also a great opportunity to learn lots about the newest research and ideas in the field of infant development.

Since the beginning of the year, the Babylab has officially been part of the newly founded (or rather: re-established) Institute of Medical Psychology. On June 26, the opening ceremony of the institute, which is headed by Sarah Jessen from the Babylab, Ulrike Krämer (https://www.cns-luebeck.com) and Daniel Scholz from the Lübeck University of Music, took place. After a short welcome address by the acting President of the University of Lübeck, Prof. Dr. Gillessen-Kaesbach, Prof. Beate Ditzen from Heidelberg gave an exciting lecture on the development of attachment in different phases of life. The evening ended with a small reception, a great opportunity to talk to many colleagues from different areas of the university. All in all, it was a great evening and the Babylab is looking forward to many more exciting projects in the institute.
