CORRESPONDENCE 04 January 2022
Anna Nowogrodzki states that my book, The Maternal Imprint, ‘doesn’t engage’ with programmes such as the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (Nature 599, 199–200; 2021). On the contrary, I introduce the study as exemplary of data-rich science on fetal origins in the opening pages, highlight the work of its researchers in testing causal hypotheses concerning fetal epigenetic programming, and feature my own collaborative scholarship with affiliated researchers in the book’s closing chapter. My collaborations and exchanges with researchers on developmental origins underpinned the book.
