A new study by our friend Dr. Lucía Magis-Weinberg at UC Berkeley, co-authored by CDA board director Dr. Ron Dahl and others, found that adolescents in Peru who used tech to connect online reported less loneliness during COVID-related lockdowns.

National Scientific Council on Adolescence member Dr. Anthony Burrow was named the Ferris Family Associate Professor of Life Course Studies in Cornell’s newly formed Department of Psychology. Congratulations, Tony!

CDA board chair ​Dr. Ron Dahl talks with reporter Rebecca Bodenheimer about the effects of pandemic-related distancing on the social-emotional learning that is so central to adolescent development.

Our Co-Executive Director, Adriana Galván, and others spoke about what that might look like at the Education Writer Association’s 2021 National Seminar.
