🚨One more fantastic opportunity to come join our team- based at Kings College London - DEADLINE EXTENDED: 12 November 2023

It was such an honour to represent the The BRIGHT Project at the UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 Learning Sciences Expert meeting in Paris. I'm very grateful for this opportunity and feel inspired by the incredible work that is being done to enhance educational opprortunities for children across the world.

HOT OFF THE PRESS 🔥🔥 - Latest work from the The BRIGHT Project showing that iron status *under* 6 months of age is related to cognitive development up to pre-school age. journals.plos.org/globalpubliche…

During the pandemic I started the 'Diversity in Developmental Science' network with two other colleagues. Things went back to normal, work got busier & this fell off the radar. I'm looking to get this up & running again. Any #BAME dev science researchers interested in this?

Just a reminder about this PhD opportunity specifically for UK students of Black or mixed Black Heritage. I have had nobody contact me about this studentship and find that a little sad - it is a truly amazing 4-year studentship... findaphd.com/phds/project/f…
