.@SaloveyPeter: Nearly 300 @Yale faculty condemn the criminalization of Yale students engaged in acts of peaceful protest. @Yale must drop all charges, take no disciplinary action against those arrested, and respect peaceable speech and assembly on campus. https://t.co/OiG5rpC3aK

Are you at #CIES2023 this week?

We hope to see you at our sessions featuring R4D’s #edu team and members of @GlobalEdTechHub, a research-to-practice program led by R4D and partners.

@jwswallace @YaleSPH That's awesome -- congratulations, Jacob! Celebratory beer* soon?

*by celebratory beer, I mean mid-morning walk with our kid(s).

@jessesingal You’ve obviously never seen Semi Ojeleye play.

[Mark Roland @mroland8]

@jessesingal And Jabari Parker playing meaningful fourth quarter minutes?!

Amidst growing calls to decolonize #globalhealth and #globaldev, R4D and @SPARC_Africa co-developed The #ExpertsDatabase. Learn how it works in a blog by @mroland8, @cashin_cheryl, @CheicknaToure & @TayoWilloughby.

Glad that the work of @MsolOG and her extraordinary students and colleagues is receiving some visibility. Hoping it leads to more humane treatment of those who are incarcerated.

Pregnant, she slept near a coughing inmate as the virus spread. Federal prisons have faltered on orders to move vulnerable prisoners to home confinement to protect them from the coronavirus. https://t.co/ugQHh2f2O1

Looking for someone awesome to join our exec. team and co-lead @results4dev's programs. We're testing new models to accelerate the #decolonization of #globaldev, so don't bother applying unless you're ready to roll up your sleeves & push our thinking! 🌍 https://t.co/egADKv4pPn

I appreciate the hard work on this draft. But it's nowhere close.

The most cost-effective way to improve education across the globe?

New research suggests it's as simple as investing in teachers professional development and training: https://t.co/ZaW7ohO3Ai

@Leahgreenb Woohoo!! Will make some calls on behalf of Jaime Harrison in Zeke's name. Hope Dolly is adjusting to life as a big sister!

@CourtneyTolmie @plautdaniel @votefwd @cashin_cheryl So awesome! Our neighbors have organized an every-Sunday letter writing block party. It's pretty rad. https://t.co/OD0S34WeD1

[Mark Roland @mroland8]

@plautdaniel @votefwd @MsolOG It is! From @votefwd: In a RCT in the special election for U.S. Senate in Alabama in 2017, turnout among letter recipients was 3.9 percentage points higher than turnout in the control group. It appears to be one of the most effective known tactics to boost turnout.

[Mark Roland @mroland8]

One of the most effective techniques for driving voter turnout is writing letters. It's also super easy to do with @votefwd - just ask @MsolOG. Go there, download letters, and save our republic.

[Mark Roland @mroland8]

@jwswallace @MsolOG Nice to get these recs, Jacob. We like to have pizza while watching basketball and it's been such a long playoff run for the Celtics that - as you can imagine - we're running out of spots to try.

[Mark Roland @mroland8]

@DrJackClift @plautdaniel @nytimes @results4dev Despite my best attempt - and much to my chagrin - a pithy summary of our 4 pathways didn't make it into this piece.

Six ways Covid-19 is shaping the future of global education. New @CGDev blog by @SFCarvalho_edu and I.
1. There's going to be lots less $ for education
2. Millions of kids won't return to school
3. Learning loss will exacerbate inequality

@ChadMaisel rarely tweets so when he does you know it's gonna be good. A powerful call for empathy from Chad.

Hi world! Making my Twitter debut with my thoughts on the politics of poverty. We should do more to help people who are struggling--not only in this moment of extraordinary need, but always. https://t.co/mkvZ3twWC8
