We've got a new paper @HarrisBIPLab! Super excited to share promising experimental results from our parent-child conversation tool, "Chat2Learn." Conversation prompts sent directly to parents by text significantly boost young children's vocabulary and parents' growth mindset.
New working paper, "Talking about Words Boosts Preschool-Age Children’s Vocabulary: Evidence from a Parent Intervention," from Derek Rury, @ariel_kalil (@HarrisPolicy), Susan Mayer, and Daniela Bresciani. ow.ly/zVqx50UZBl8

In DC Monday? I'd love to see you at Brookings, where I'll be a panel discussant on a new report from the State of the Nation Project, of which I was a co-author, in which we provide a critical analysis of the US’ status on key societal measures.

Will ed tech help to increase student skills and close income-based test score gaps? In my new Op-Ed with @May153204 and Michelle Michelini we argue for more evidence, followed by thoughtful policy interventions, to answer this question. @HarrisBIPLab

This $60 billion bailout of Boeing would be enough to start a nationwide high quality child care system (modeled on the US military system), offering great pre-k for all kids and making it far easier for parents to work. Or we could rescue a company that makes planes that crash.
Boeing is just out with its bailout ask in a new statement. Minimum $60 billion in access to "public and private liquidity, including loan guarantees"
Bailouts currently on table for: hotels; airlines; cruises; casinos; oil & gas producers

Unemployment at the peak of the Depression in 1933 was 24.9%. The Treasury Sec., lobbying the @GOP senate caucus for action, reportedly said we could face 20% as a result of this crisis. Stunning number.
