The Americans remains one of photography’s greatest works. The stunning journey of an outsider, who held a mirror up to America, and looked deep into its soul. RIP, Robert Frank. pic.twitter.com/LorzQGDVb8

'I feel mysteriously happy in Geneva', Borges once said. 'Of all the cities on this planet, of all the diverse and intimate places which a man seeks out and merits in the course of his voyages, Geneva strikes me as the most propitious for happiness'. Maybe a city like a library. pic.twitter.com/GtUj4VDXup

The world is facing a learning crisis, with serious implications for human capital formation: students are in school but not learning. A new @WBG_Education data set, measuring learning in 98% of the world’s population, to explain this emerging gap:

Education underpins human and #SustainableDevelopment, but it’s woefully off track. How can we convey and amplify this critical message? We need someone to do for education what @GretaThunberg did for climate. A powerful call to action from @HelenClarkNZ @GEMReport pic.twitter.com/k8bn66JoOM

@GEMReport must continue to provide timely information and substantive evidence, to offer valuable, critical, & independent (this is really important) views on crucial topics & to use them to inform policy. @HelenClarkNZ superbly chairing the GEM Advisory Board meeting (1st day). pic.twitter.com/g47Smtk8M1

Empathy is crucial for advancing human civilization in my mind. It's the ability to perceive and feel the emotions of others. It's one of my biggest goals to further develop my empathy and encourage it in others. What is your goal as a human? pic.twitter.com/5lBr1dRnJJ
