New blogpost day!

Did you know we tend to associate smaller numbers with our left & larger numbers with our right?

Dr Krzysztof Cipora has written a brilliantly accessible overview of this effect (SNARC) & introduces his most recent paper investigating it 🎨 ⤵️

Our pre-test for an RCT targeting transcoding skills - number reading, writing, and recognition - is off to a great start this week 🎉! Our team is working with 500 children aged 5-6 in primary schools. We’re excited to share updates over the coming months.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.
