Chemosensory continuity from prenatal to postnatal life in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Ustun, B., Covey, J., & Reissland, N. (2023). Chemosensory continuity from prenatal to postnatal life in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS ONE, 18(3), Article e0283314. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0283314

Throughout pregnancy, fetuses are exposed to a range of chemosensory inputs influencing their postnatal behaviors. Such prenatal exposure provides the fetus with continuous sensory information to adapt to the environment they face once born. This stu...

Are distributional preferences for safety stable? A longitudinal analysis before and after the COVID-19 outbreak (2023)
Journal Article
Arroyos-Calvera, D., Covey, J., & McDonald, R. (2023). Are distributional preferences for safety stable? A longitudinal analysis before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Social Science & Medicine, 324, Article 115855. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2023.115855

Policy makers aim to respect public preferences when making trade-offs between policies, yet most estimates of the value of safety neglect individuals' preferences over how safety is distributed. Incorporating these preferences into policy first requ... Read More about Are distributional preferences for safety stable? A longitudinal analysis before and after the COVID-19 outbreak.

Flavor Sensing in Utero and Emerging Discriminative Behaviours in the Human Fetus (2022)
