From Child Mind Institute, September 11, 2020
The 2020 Distinguished Scientist Award will honor Dr. Tom Boyce, the Lisa and John Pritzker Distinguished Professor of Developmental Health at the University of California, San Francisco, whose work focuses on the impact of socioeconomic factors and early life experiences on child physical and mental health.
Motivated by the recent crises, there will be a new format for this year’s On the Shoulders of Giants event. Specifically, following brief presentations by Dr. Boyce and his proteges, we will move onto a roundtable discussion, moderated by Dr. Nora Volkow and composed of past Distinguished Scientists honorees, to discuss issues of racism and inequality on children’s mental health – as well as the future of training in the field.
