Additional information
THE CENTER ON THE DEVELOPING CHILD is launching a Colloquium Series that will be convened across the various schools of the University. Free and open to all University students, faculty and the general public, this series of lectures will present the science of child development, including its underlying neurobiology, to audiences with the explicit aim of catalyzing new ways of thinking across disciplines about how knowledge can inform policy and practice. Each session will include a scientific presentation followed by a discussant from the host school faculty, and will be designed for optimal audience participation.
