“We are deeply grateful for this generous opportunity to establish the Toffler Scholar Program at Northeastern University, in support of critical research into the neurological consequences of early life trauma in women. This work seeks to uncover the biological link between early puberty and increased risk for cognitive decline and mood disorders, so we can develop better ways to identify and treat those most at risk. This incredible support from the Karen Toffler Charitable Trust empowers the next generation of scientific leaders and the research that will shape our world.”
