Confessions of an Early Career Researcher. We've released a new 'warts and all' podcast, in collaboration with @leverhulme.ac.uk which might be of interest to anyone thinking of starting a career in research www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news/confess...

I am so happy to have presented in two sessions at #BSPS2025 conference on Life course trajectories of descendants of immigrants in Sweden and on Life satisfaction, health and air pollution. @bspsuk.bsky.social @cpc-cg.bsky.social @phrg-standrews.bsky.social @migrantlife.bsky.social

There are so many things to love about @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025. I got to bond with my @phrg-standrews.bsky.social colleagues over insanely long train rides (but they made it fun). I (re)connected with people doing interesting work who also happen to be great people. Lovely to be home though.

We ♥️ #BSPS2025 - thanks @bspsuk.bsky.social! Just some of the great talks: Hale on racism & loneliness in UK Asian communities; Finney on EVENS; Butterick on kin number probabilities; Li on intergenerational proximity; Lyu on parental support & homeownership; Nur on childlessness & kinlessness 👏👏

Had the BEST time presenting our work “Sex and the Survey” at @bspsuk.bsky.social, on behalf of fab co-authors @heinivaisanen.bsky.social & Linh Nguyen We analyse surveys in France, Ghana, Senegal, and UK to answer the question ‘what if everything we knew about #SRHR was what we read in surveys?’

One more @bspsuk.bsky.social first: the 1st paper on which I collaborate with colleagues from @comeniusuni.bsky.social! It was so fun to chat about our methodological paper on the use of LLMs in coding large amounts of textual data (media), definitely a good decision to have a poster! #BSPS2025

I was really happy to host the gender ideologies session, and do the first presentation of our work using the UK GGS on gendered division of labour and gender ideologies on wellbeing with @matthewhluo.bsky.social @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025 @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

🔥 Peak conference moment at #BSPS2025 – An absolutely awe-inspiring Early Career Award plenary by Orsola Torrisi on family, reproductive health and global violence. This award is so well deserved for Orsola’s outstanding contributions to the field of demography. @bspsuk.bsky.social @mcgill.ca

Our PI, @jmikolai.bsky.social presented preliminary results at the @bspsuk.bsky.social annual conference.

Maria Petrillo: UK cohort effects & deprivation on gender gap in unpaid care. Gender care gaps are persistent across cohorts, and likelihood of caring peaks at mid-age, probability of providing care is higher in deprived areas, below poverty line. Effects are additive @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

At #BSPS2025, CPC-CG member Dr Jo Mhairi Hale provided useful practical tips on navigating #PhDs/#postdocs, as well as how to take advantage of training and opportunities. The session was co-organised with Rachel Wilkie and Alice Butler-Warke as part of the CPC-CG #ECR network @bspsuk.bsky.social

@sedovicmicha.bsky.social examine the rel. betw. internalising & externalising symptoms ➡️ fertility outcomes in UK birth cohorts. Highest externalising behaviour ⬆️ have children, more children.

Zerui Tian on how online dating relates to fertility & marital outcomes across GGS countries ⬇️ Likelihood of marriage & childbearing but no diff in rel. satis or break ups. Little diff in types of matches by demog char (hypergany/hypogany) online Vs offline @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

Just presented ongoing work with @ann-berrington.bsky.social and Seb Stannard at BSPS 2025 @bspsuk.bsky.social and received great feedback!

Nan Zhang on social stratification (urban-rural levels), internal migration and health inequality in China. Their early work shows lifelong rural residents have worse mental health. They find persistent inequalities across time, by gender and urban-rural disparities @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025
