Opinion | There’s One Lie I Will Never Tell My Children It’s “This won’t hurt.”

An outstanding @nytimes.com piece by Allison Sweet Grant highlights a crucial truth: we should never lie to kids about pain.

Research (including our own which is cited in the article) strongly supports this.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
