Myself and a number of colleagues around the word study infant development, the natural course of development before formal education has had the chance to step in. We're interested in to what extent is stuff built in, and to what extent culture and the environment play a role. What's been remarkable is how, over the past twenty years, our understanding has grown that babies have surprising capacities to interpret the world and make inferences about what they think is going on, in the physical world, about the nature of objects.

A single dose of vaccine may confer upon its recipient a lifetime of immunity against a deadly infectious disease. A diagnostic test that can be adapted for use in a challenging field environment outside of the traditional “high-tech” clinical laboratory setting stands to deliver the greatest benefit...
...Physicians are increasingly concerned about the hazards of multiple births, which not only increase risks to mother and infant during pregnancy and delivery, but also raise the chances of later developmental problems for babies who are often born prematurely. Although other studies have also shown the benefits of using elective single-embryo transfer to reduce multiple births, and the technique has become standard in several European countries, there is elsewhere a persistent belief that fewer embryo transfers will yield fewer pregnancies.

Geithner’s plan is complex and still in its infant stages: Thursday’s proposal left many details up in the air so that productive exchange with lawmakers can occur in the near future. Surely, it will undergo much revision and debate as it works its way through opposition in Congress. Its principles of transparency, disclosure, centralization, and closer oversight...
