Great time presenting at @ubeconomics.bsky.social “Spare the rod? Christian missions and the roots of harsh parenting” with Alberto Ciancio Giulia La Mattina @lucampesando.bsky.social.

Yesterday IZA, today the DHS 🥲

The DHS are such a key resource for data on health, nutrition, fertility, etc, and a global public good. Now it will be harder to document the damages of shutting down critical health programs among the world’s poorest, but likely this is why they have been terminated

And to my family, friends, co-authors, and colleagues who have contributed enormously to HARSH, thank you. This project talks about child discipline, and in one way or another, touches us all—whether as a child or as a parent. Stay tuned!

Infinite thanks to @nicolabarban for supporting me through everything—from the 1st trial to this 2nd one, through unemployment, discrimination, raising two children, tough career decisions, and 10 moves across 4 countries. You are my rock. And by the way double jackpot in the family! 😉

To all my students at @DSE_Unibo and @LSEHealthPolicy: dream big and stay resilient! 💪 And to all women out there: awake lionesses! 🦁 To everyone who discouraged me or tried to make me feel small, oh how much I am laughing now!

This victory is for the 2 most amazing women in my life: my daughter and my mom—because where there’s a will, there’s a way.

That’s it, I GOT IT!!! Uncovering the Roots of Harsh Parenting (HARSH) has been funded by @ERC_Research #ERCCoG!! 🎉🎉🎉 [1/n]

🚨 conference alert 🚨

I had the privilege of organizing the first two ESSGN conferences, and it was a blast.

There's a growing community of social scientists interested in genetics who gather every year at this event, and we're happy to welcome even more.

Submit your papers!!
