What a week! So grateful for the immense privilege to share our science with the world. We never imagined when we conceived #BabysFirstYears a decade ago that initial findings would be released when unconditional cash support to low-income families would be so actively debated.

This is a spectacularly beautiful piece about how the people of Canada's Northwest Territories dodged #Covid19. "You need to put in the restrictions early on," said Chief public health officer Kami Kandola. And they did. nytimes.com/interactive/2021…
