New paper out in @jmfncfr.bsky.social with @minekuhn.bsky.social and @zjvanwinkle.bsky.social. We use (weighted) sequence complexity indices to estimate mental + physical health in mid-adulthood. Results (again) highlight the vulnerability of single mothers. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper with @fabriberna.bsky.social - part of my PhD thesis! Why are the negative educational consequences of parental separation stronger among high-SES children? → When high-SES parents separate, they lose their ability to compensate for their child’s low genetic propensity for education 🧬👪

Super happy to see this great paper by @rutheva.bsky.social, @rosacheesman.bsky.social , Ole Andreassen and myself out now! Typical sociodemographic research on partnership dissolution has seldom considered individual differences. In this paper, we show with genomic data that they do matter.

📃 Did you see? 👀 We recently published "Selective re-partnering? Mental health and life satisfaction among separated single mothers in Germany and the UK" by @philippdierker.bsky.social, @minekuhn.bsky.social and Mikko Myrskylä. Open Access 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #sociology

New paper just out in @actasociologica.bsky.social with @minekuhn.bsky.social and Mikko Myrskylä, looking at the selective nature of re-partnering among single mothers in terms of their well-being in Germany and the UK. Read the paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

📢 New paper out in @genus.bsky.social on women's selection into different #parentalleave lengths in Germany 🤱💼🇩🇪 /w @peibich.bsky.social & @robertarutigliano.bsky.social Check out the paper here: doi.org/10.1186/s411...

First publication of my thesis is out w/ this fantastic & interdisciplinary team: @karlosj89.bsky.social @fabriberna.bsky.social E. van Bergen @perlinedemange.bsky.social!✨ Do parents' SES moderate the link between genetic propensity for (non)cognitive skills and education? doi.org/10.1016/j.rs...

A current paper of @philippdierker.bsky.social & @minekuhn.bsky.social reveals: New partnerships can improve the life satisfaction of single moms,especially through increased financial resources.But a new partner doesn't usually bring relief around household chores. www.demogr.mpg.de/go/repartnering

The 2nd paper of my PhD got published in JMF 🎉 In this paper with @minekuhn.bsky.social and Mikko Myrskylä, we look at changes in mental health and life satisfaction among single mothers who re-partner in Germany and the UK. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

PhD Alert 📣 We are seeking a PhD candidate to work on our interdisciplinary project focusing on women’s retirement trajectories and their impact on health 👩‍⚕️🕵️‍♀️👩‍💻👩‍🔧👩‍🚒 If you have questions or are interested, please reach out to me. Feel free to share this post!

Publication by @philippdierker.bsky.social & Martin Diewald! The study shows that low-income families support their children equally, while parents with higher income tend to give more support to children with lower grades. What does that mean for social mobility? www.demogr.mpg.de/go/schoolgrades

I am happy to use my first skeet (do we still say that here?) to share that this paper with Martin Diewald on parental support strategies in response to children's school performance, which is based on my master’s thesis, is now published online #OpenAccess in ESR (doi.org/10.1093/esr/...)
