Transcription: 
Hi, I'm Polly Palumbo. I'm a mother of three, a wife of one. I'm a research psychologist by training and I've worked in the field spanning health education and psychology. When our first child was born about 10 years ago, I became obsessed with children's research, anything to do with children or parenting. So I started my blog Momma Data, because I didn't like what all the other experts were saying and I didn't like what the media was saying. I firmly believe that parents should have information that's accurate, that doesn't worry them or bore them to tears. In my free time, I love to lie on the couch with a good book, cuddle up with my kids. I like to paint. I like to read and I like to do really messy art projects with my kids, like tie-dye and paper mache.

Polly Palumbo, PhD

Psychologist

Polly Palumbo, PhD, is a former research psychologist and founder of Momma Data, a non-profit organization that tracks the parenting media and checks on the scientific evidence behind claims about children’s health and well-being. As a research consultant, she reviews and decodes studies for parents, educators, journalists and organizations. In the past she’s conducted and collaborated on numerous research projects in psychology, health and education across academia, government and the private sector and has co-authored articles in leading academic journals and texts.  As an outspoken critic of the parenting media, the only thing she enjoys better than reading a great study is debunking a bad one on her Momma Data blog. It’s her mission to flush out misinformation in the media and coach parents how to judge news and evidence about kids.
