Decades of scientific research show that experiences in the early years of a child’s life play a crucial role in building the architecture of the developing brain. For families with young children, the impacts of COVID-19, such as disruptions in childcare, the stress of working from home while parenting, and in some cases, financial insecurity from lost employment, may be felt for years to come.

Join us as our panel of experts, led by Phil Fisher, Philip H. Knight Chair and Director of the Center for Translational Science at the UO, discuss the effects of this pandemic on our younger generations and share insights from the groundbreaking Rapid Assessment of Pandemic Impact on Development in Early Childhood (RAPID-EC) survey of families with young children.

This is the second informational webinar in the Voices of Innovation and Impact speaker series from the Office of the Provost. This event is free but registration is required.
