This event was originally scheduled to be held on June 17, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 social distancing measures, it was moved to August 26, 2020 as a virtual event. A recap of the event was published August 31, 2020 on the Education Policy Program's blog, EdCentral.org.

For the past two years, the fellows program has brought together 12 experts in Europe and North America across disciplines—research, policy, journalism, and entertainment—to design that translate childhood development research for parents, educators, and the public. Watch them showcase their ground-breaking work, ask them questions about their projects, and join Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½, the International Congress on Infant Studies, and the Jacobs Foundation in an interactive discussion on why it is critical to elevate and improve early learning and science communication.
