Christine Parsons
Christine Parsons is a professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University in Denmark. She recently led a study that challenges the notion that women are biologically predisposed to respond more sensitively to a baby's cries during the night compared to men. The research suggests that the differences in nighttime caregiving roles may be more influenced by social factors than biological ones.
