This month, we’re highlighting how the environments where children live, grow, play, and learn shape their development and lifelong health. We recently hosted a webinar focused on our new working paper, Air Quality Affects Early Childhood Development and Health, featuring Dr. Lindsey Burghardt, Dr. Joseph Allen, and Dr. Alison Lee, who explored the impacts of indoor air quality and shared actionable strategies to improve it. We also convened a learning session on housing instability in early childhood, featuring research from Dr. Natalie Slopen and insights from SchoolHouse Connection’s new report on infant and toddler homelessness. In the news, Dr. Jack Shonkoff appeared on a podcast to discuss how environmental conditions affect early development. Plus, a recent NBC article on extreme heat drew on findings from our work.
