🤔How can parents have more engaging conversations with their kids?
A new study from @ariel_kalil and @LuLinxi003 evaluated in a lab setting the Chat2Learn program that provides open-ended conversation prompts with illustrations for parents.

Can research sway edtech adoption? A study by Daniela Bresciani Andaluz, @ariel_kalil (@HarrisPolicy), Michelle Michelini & @RohenShah finds mixed effects—evidence shapes educators’ choices differently by role. Read the research brief here: ow.ly/xC0o50WNJ5e
With a new grant from @JPAL_NA we are partnering with @Distinctive_Edu to evaluate the effect of our Chat2Learn program on parent-child language interactions. This will test the impact of an AI chatbot supported program that guides conversational learning. Excited to start!
"If Head Start disappears, working parents with few alternatives will lose child care options that enable them to earn a living," @ariel_kalil said. "Children who need extra support...will instead fall even further behind." edweek.org/policy-politics/t…

Overflowing with pride for our @HarrisBIPLab graduating PhD student @RohenShah. Graduating a superstar is one of the best feelings an academic advisor can be lucky enough to have! Rohen has contributed so much to our lab and I'm deeply grateful for all that I've learned from him.
Very excited to share that I have accepted a teaching-faculty position at @YaleEconomics ! I am grateful for my time at @UChicago @HarrisPolicy, and the invaluable guidance from my advisors @ariel_kalil, @Econ_4_Everyone, Jens Ludwig, and Lesley Turner. New Haven, here we come!

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 partnership with @BeckerFriedman we're looking for a talented Research Professional (Pre-doctoral Fellow) to join our team. Please share widely with candidates considering the PhD track who are excited about field research! job-boards.greenhouse.io/uni…

Delighted that this wonderful conversation with the brilliant psychologists Mesmin Destin and @ariel_kalil (my colleague!) is now available.
Inequality isn’t just a pattern in large-scale economic systems—it’s a lived experience shaped by individual psychology.
Host @sndurlauf speaks with developmental psychologists @ariel_kalil and Mesmin Destin about family structure, identity-based motivation, and interventions to foster mobility.
