Excited for the 1/23 Literacy Summit during the #Sundance film festival in Park City, hosted by HILL for Literacy. We’ll explore #literacy as a public health imperative— #dyslexia, student-centered storytelling, documentaries as a reform catalyst & the transformation of learning science with AI.

As 2025 slowly ends, it is time to reflect on the ups & downs. This has probably been the hardest year ever as the principal investigator of the Gaablab, due to funding disruptions and the many uncertainties. That said, this GaabLab team is incredible.
