Library staff will collaborate with the public at this event to expand and improve information in Wikipedia, the world’s most-used reference source. While we will initially focus on women whose work is represented in Library collections, this event is designed to improve articles about any women photojournalists. Anyone with an interest in learning to use Wikipedia, or in researching women in the arts, is encouraged to attend.

Evaluating the performance of school principals can be challenging. As we noted in previous posts, principals’ roles are complex and multi-faceted.

Researchers and policymakers across a number of fields have long understood the power of peer-to-peer learning.

Social determinants of health—the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age—have gained increasing interest among policymakers and practitioners as they struggle to improve the value and quality of U.S. health care.

Simply put, 2019 has been a big year for primary care in the United States. Whether you follow federal or state healthcare news or simply follow investor-entrepreneur Mark Cuban on Twitter, it’s likely you’ve seen how the conversation about primary care has been elevated.

In this episode of On the Evidence, Cindy Hu, a Mathematica data scientist, discusses the prevalence of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in our drinking water, as well as their health implications and ways to address them through public policy.

With their multi-faceted understanding of the communities in which they operate, community-based organizations bring a valuable lens that could help health systems learn how certain social services received in the community affect health, and how other factors may dampen an intervention’s effect.

A strong economy requires a dynamic workforce that can adapt to the labor market’s demands. This often means workers will have schedules outside the traditional 9 to 5.

The topic of exclusionary discipline is not only of professional interest to me—it’s personal. Helping my son navigate the middle grades was taxing. He attended a school that suspended him for defending himself when a classmate broke his iPad and then punched him during recess to instigate a fight.

Paul Messino offers insights on challenges states face as they implement health payment and delivery system reforms and the ways that Mathematica applies methods expertise, deep policy knowledge, and understanding of state contexts to help navigate to better outcomes.

Educators hold the keys to unlocking a brighter future for their students, whether engaging with parents, creating a supportive environment that values equity and inclusion, or improving instruction.

On this episode of On the Evidence, we talk about a report that looks at the complicated relationships among nonstandard or changing work schedules, the availability of child care for those schedules, and child well-being. Our guests are Angela Rachidi and Russell Sykes, who coauthored the report.

In the 21st century, the civic purpose of public education is often overlooked in debates that tend to focus on education’s economic effects. But the civic purpose is arguably more important than it has ever been.

Mathematica is proud to be 100 percent employee owned. Employee ownership is a critical component of who we are, and it shapes how we work together as colleagues.

On the Evidence interviewed Mathematica’s Matt Stagner about his upcoming APPAM presidential address, his work on child welfare, and his reflections on public policy research. This interview is part of a series of episodes produced by Mathematica in support of the APPAM conference in November.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do means thinking critically about what diversity means and taking important steps to create a Mathematica where everyone feels welcome and can cultivate a meaningful career.

In 2013, I led a team of researchers who traveled to Minnesota, Kansas, and Missouri for a series of in-depth interviews with fathers for the Parents and Children Together (PACT) evaluation.

On this episode of On the Evidence, we feature six short interviews with the 2019 summer fellows about the research questions they pursued and what they have learned so far.

Time will tell what improvements artificial intelligence, machine learning and predictive algorithms can bring to healthcare, and at what cost, but it is past time to tackle the bigger ethical considerations that loom large over the future of the industry.

On this episode of On the Evidence, economists Jennifer Doleac and Kosali Simon share lessons from their experiences interpreting and translating policy research for media interviews, Twitter, podcasts, and elsewhere.

We are living in unprecedented times. To reduce the spread of COVID-19, more than 130 countries have closed schools entirely, impacting 80 percent of the world’s student population.

On this episode of On the Evidence, three researchers discuss how they work with child welfare agencies in the United States to use algorithms—or, what they call predictive risk models—to inform decisions by case managers and their supervisors.

The field of education evolves constantly and is now changing rapidly because of COVID-19. In the face of this pandemic, we continue to refine our practices.

For this episode of On the Evidence, a principal and an education researcher share insights from research and the field on implementing culturally responsive practices.

Liah Caravalho, public affairs specialist, shares her experience working from home while parenting during the coronavirus pandemic.
