How Scientists Are Tackling Brain Imaging s Replication Problem

Nonprofit EmbraceRace helps parents explain race to children ALEX DANIELS of The Chronicle of Philanthropy, The Chronicle of Philanthropy June 3, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Andrew Grant-Thomas reads to his daughter, Lena Grant-Giraud, on the back porch at their home in Amherst, Mass., on Monday, May 24, 2021.

The nonprofit’s approach, Grant-Thomas says, can be summed up in a simple mantra: “Start young, and keep going.” (M. Scott Brauer/Chronicle of Philanthropy via AP)M. Scott Brauer/AP News about the police killing of George Floyd was everywhere. Officials at the Berkeley, Calif., school, where Perfecta Oxholm’s son attended kindergarten last year, decided not to talk directly about the death with the students. That didn’t stop the children from asking questions.
