The BOLD blog is a global multimedia platform for scientific knowledge about child and youth development. The blog, along with podcasts and videos, features evidence-based articles by researchers, journalists, and practitioners on topics like educational psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and educational technology to improve learning and life chances for children worldwide. It asks questions like: What happens in children’s and young people’s brains when they learn? What does the ideal learning and development environment for each individual look like? Which programs and technologies should be pursued? Which decision makers need to be involved to improve development and learning conditions?

The BOLD blog has recently launched a collaboration with the journal Mind Brain and Education, posting blogs that delve into new scientific papers appearing in the journal.

This year, BOLD has featured two papers published by CEN members. Take a look here:

Dr. Astrid Bowen and colleagues: How do we know what works in education?

Prof. Michael Thomas and colleagues: Are we bridging the gap from brain scan to lesson plan?
