Beth Sobiloff and Marcia Rothwell are having the time of their lives exploring each and every city and town around the Commonwealth! The "Two Grannies on the Road" are changing the narrative about what it means to be a senior as they eat ice cream, learn Bay State history, and generally have a blast. Beth and Marcia talk about their adventures, what led them to document their travels, and where they're off to next. There are all kinds of factors that go into how children effectively learn, but at MIT, researchers there have been looking beyond the standardized testing and other methods of survey we normally use to gauge children's struggles to read. Dr. John Gabrieli is a lead writer on a new study that just came out focusing on brain waves, and how there's a tangible, physical difference in brain patterns that directly correlates to socio-economic status. Dr. Gabrieli will have details on the research and what the results could mean for equity in education.
