There's a lot of basic research that still hasn't been done. In part, that's just because there weren't a lot of scientists in the field who were women, to ask questions about it.

For the last 70 years, scientists in Britain have been following thousands of children through their lives as part of an incredible scientific study.

just a few months after the end of the war, when scientists wanted to know what it was like for a woman to have a baby at the time.

Lessons from the longest study on human development | Helen Pearson

Now, this wartime study actually ended up being so successful that scientists did it again. They recorded the births of thousands of babies born in 1958

Lessons from the longest study on human development | Helen Pearson

They're called the British birth cohorts, and scientists have gone back and recorded more information on all of these people every few years ever since.

and terabytes' worth of computer data. Scientists have also built up a huge bank of tissue samples, which includes locks of hair, nail clippings, baby teeth and DNA.

Lessons from the longest study on human development | Helen Pearson

These are some of the best-studied people on the planet, and the data has become incredibly valuable for scientists, generating well over 6,000 academic papers and books.

In one study, scientists looked at about 17,000 children who were born in 1970. They sifted all the mountains of data that they had collected
