New pub (w/ @fabriberna.bsky.social) highlighting how family socioeconomic background plays a key role in shaping genetic associations: advantaged families both compensate for and amplify their children’s genetic propensities for education doi.org/10.1016/j.ssresearch.2025.103174 👇🧵

DOGE/Musk preferentially cancelled grants and contracts to recipients in counties that voted for Harris in 2024. Among cancellations with election data available, 92.9% and 86.1% cancelled grants and contracts went to Harris counties, representing 96.6% and 92.4% of total dollar amounts.

The new #C3S Climate Data Store (CDS) reached 100,000 users! Thanks to each and every one of you. We are very happy to see our user community grow after the implementation of the new CDS.

“The bottom line is not whether heat or cold is more dangerous, but how we can save the most lives. Nowadays, given the current climate trends & limited success in climate mitigation, the current epidemiological literature strongly suggests an urgent focus on heat-related deaths is well justified”

Rising temperatures🌡️are a growing #humanhealth threat, claiming 489,000 lives globally each year. Next week, I’ll join experts at the Science for Policy Hackathon 🧑‍🔬🌍 to explore solutions. Adaptation strategies like cooling ❄️ and education 📚 are critical. #ClimateChange #HeatWaves #PublicHealth

Does cleaner air improve student performance? New study by @mvaldes1989.bsky.social @marespadafor.bsky.social & @conteristo.bsky.social finds Madrid’s low emission zone boosted exam scores. Policy rollback raises questions about the future. #Mapineq 🔗https://tinyurl.com/ary5ce77

Great new publication from our MAPIneq project!

💡 My recent work with @mvaldes1989.bsky.social & @conteristo.bsky.social, published today (what better timing than International Education Day?), explores the relationship between low-emission zones (LEZs) and academic performance. Our findings?

Need a read for the weekend? How about "Can a low emission zone improve academic performance?" A new paper our colleague @conteristo.bsky.social just published together with @mvaldes1989.bsky.social #climatechange #climate #population

📢📢 PUB DAY! Ever wondered how low emission zones affect academic performance? You are lucky! Our new #OA paper in Population & Environment with amazing @marespadafor.bsky.social and @conteristo.bsky.social within the Mapineq project explores this. 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s111... Curious? Read on!

“We estimate a total of 52,480 to 55,710 premature deaths are attributable to wildland fire PM2.5 over the 11-year period with respect to two exposure scenarios, equating to an economic impact of $432 to $456 billion.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New open access paper in @readdemography.bsky.social with H Schubert, M Kolobova, and M Myrskylä. We show that in the US, historically, the association between fertility and development followed an inverse J-shape. This pattern vanished after the Great Recession. doi.org/10.1215/0070...

Can support for Brexit survive? 🤔 in this paper with @fresejoris.bsky.social @simonhix.bsky.social we estimate that the declining support for Brexit has to an important extent related to older Brexit supporters passing away (and younger Bremainers joinig the electorate). 1/2

Around two-thirds of Denmark's electricity generation comes from solar and wind. It's mostly wind, but solar has grown quickly in the last three years. When I was born, coal made up almost 90% of the mix. This is now less than 10%.

“In short, culling cars has been far more popular than her petrolhead critics predicted, with Paris becoming cleaner and healthier to boot.”

As the COP29 is still ongoing in #Baku, a multidisciplinary team from @maxplanck.bsky.social is present - not directly negotiating, but serving as critical observers. @mpidr.bsky.social 's Risto Conte Keivabu @conteristo.bsky.social is on his way to Baku. #COP29 www.mpg.de/23719761/cop...

In this research note we show how the anti-far-right movement Le Sardine managed to curb far-right electoral performance in Italy's 2020 regional elections. Using a diff-in-diff design, local exposure to Sardine events significantly reduced far-right vote shares. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...
