Jannette Prins is a Lecturer and Teacher-researcher in Nature and Child Development at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences in Rotterdam, conducting doctoral research on how physical environments shape young children's language acquisition through play. Her work positions nature as an active co-teacher in early language education. Prins' research centers on Embodied Cognition theory, demonstrating that sensorimotor experiences in natural settings (e.g., touching soil, balancing on logs) directly scaffold linguistic development. She investigates critical questions: Do natural play environments generate richer language output than urban spaces? and How can educators intentionally design 'play-learning environments' to maximize language opportunities? Her findings prove that embodied interactions with nature trigger spontaneous descriptive language, complex questioning, and narrative construction far beyond structured classroom activities. Through publications like her 2024 thesis Nature as Co-teacher and the Boom Publishers book Language in nature , Prins translates research into actionable frameworks for practitioners. The March 2025 'Language in Nature' symposium—presenting data on green spaces boosting language complexity by 37%—exemplifies her commitment to bridging academia and practice. While specific grant details aren't public, her active dissemination through professional events and applied publications indicates robust institutional support for real-world implementation. Prins leads the 'Head, Shoulders, Knees, and LANGUAGE' research initiative examining how bodily movement fuels verbal expression. Her team collaborates with Rotterdam preschools to transform playgrounds into language laboratories, proving that minimal natural interventions (e.g., adding water features or logs) yield significant developmental benefits. This practice-oriented approach ensures her work directly impacts early childhood pedagogy across Dutch educational settings.

Peggy Myung, MD, PhD is Vice Chair of Research and Associate Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Yale School of Medicine. She maintains strong affiliations across multiple Yale entities including the Yale Cancer Center, Yale Stem Cell Center, Cancer Signaling Networks Program, and Pathology Research Program in Translational Biomedicine. Dr. Myung leads the Myung Lab which focuses on hair follicle development and regeneration research, with applications to understanding skin cancer mechanisms. Dr. Myung received her MD and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2003, completed residencies at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and University Hospitals Case Medical Center, and a fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine in 2014. She is board certified in both Dermatology (2012) and Dermatopathology (2014, with recertification in 2025). Her research program investigates how heterotypic signals between the skin epidermis and dermis regulate robust and organized hair follicle growth during embryonic development and adult regeneration.

The hair follicle serves as an ideal model for these studies due to its accessibility and well-characterized cyclical regeneration dependent on resident stem cells. Dr. Myung's recent publication record demonstrates consistent productivity in high-impact journals, with a growing emphasis on single-cell genomic techniques and computational approaches to understand cellular interactions at unprecedented resolution. Her work bridges developmental biology, dermatology, and cancer research, with particular focus on Wnt/β-catenin signaling and epithelial-mmesenchymal interactions.
