The last several years have served as one prolonged watershed moment for the early care and education sector. The pandemic and its many aftershocks — including a hit to labor force participation among women and a severe early childhood staffing shortage — helped many Americans unacquainted with these issues begin to understand the integral role that early care and education play in economic and social stability.

An age-old question Published: As we reach the later years of our lives, our skin will wrinkle and our hair will turn grey. We may have mixed feelings about ageing, but it is a natural part of life. Although we may never be able to prevent ageing, some scientists think that we may be able to slow it down. Dr Hua Bai from Iowa State University in the US is studying a process in our cells that is thought to contribute to ageing.
