✨ So proud of this paper, now published in @Nature! We ran ** 5 ** randomized trials providing education in emergencies w/ NGOs & governments at a time of historic need and uncertainty during the pandemic. Evidence really mattered. We reversed "voltage drops" when scaling across contexts; instead effects improved over time, showing a "learning curve"
