A great story featuring my HGSE colleague Phil Capin on how federal funding terminations are impacting research at Harvard—as well as American science and society: news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…
news.harvard.edu As reading scores decline, a study primed to help grinds to a halt — Harvard Gazette Partnership with Texas, Colorado researchers is terminated as part of the federal funding cuts targeting Harvard.

Well, got a bit sidetracked by the funding cuts—the prelude became a summary 😅 #SRCD. Presented findings from two projects on AI and learning, and were excited to see so much interest in the topic!

Our group will be at #SRCD2025 this Thursday and Friday! will be part of four symposia sharing our work on children's learning and interactions with AI. There will be a thread to share highlights--more to come!

Thank you @APA_Journals for featuring us! This study is part of a 5+ year partnership with PBS KIDS to explore how AI can enhance children’s STEM learning from TV programs. When kids talk to the characters, they comprehend the science concepts better and are more engaged.

Research from @YYingXu et al. indicates that conversational #AI can enhance the interactivity of educational tv programs by allowing children to dialogue with the media character, thus enhancing children’s learning. Read the open access article: bit.ly/40cJouD @Kendeou
