About the Author
I’m Darby Saxbe, a clinical and health psychologist and a professor at the University of Southern California. My lab studies the transition to parenthood and how it affects the brain, biology, and behavior. I’m especially interested in fatherhood. My research finds that men undergo changes to their brains and bodies when they become parents, and that these transformations shape their adjustment to parenthood.
