The Center for Global Development is proud to be hosting Prof. Michael Kremer (Harvard) and Sarah Baird (GWU) on Monday, May 16, 12:00-1:30pm as part of the Massachusetts Avenue Development Seminar (MADS) series.  They'll be presenting the long-term, follow-up results of Prof. Kremer's research on deworming in Kenyan schools that shows significant, long-term gains in employment and earnings among dewormed children

The presentation will draw from Kremer and Baird's recent paper, Worms at Work: Long-run Impact of Child Health Gains.
