You can show your support by watching their video, currently featured on the MacArthur Foundation’s web site, and sharing your comments on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram using the hashtag #100andChange: https://www.macfound.org/press/article/look-100-change-through-video/ (third video).

MacArthur’s 100 and Change initiative will grant $100 million to a single project that promises real and measurable progress in solving a critical problem of our time. Angela Duckworth, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Penn Arts and Sciences, and Katherine Milkman, associate professor of operations, information, and decisions at Wharton and the Perelman School of Medicine, are proposing to affect every major social problem by finding ways to change bad behavior and making the change stick.
