For students a bit lost with exams being cancelled, Ivy League schools eg Harvard are making their online courses free to all, you can then choose to pay for the certificate at the end if you want the actual but of paper. Wouldn’t look bad on a CV though? https://t.co/kHqi5nA3l3

It's almost unbelievable how bad today's incomes data is - slightly worried it's going to be lost under the (understandable) virus focus. Poorer families lost 7% of their incomes over the last 2 years - hugely important and hugely grim.
