Thanks to the amazing organization team around Mona Lena Krook and Majka Hahn and everyone at Rutgers. I’m looking forward to seeing many of you in Newcastle for ECPG 2026.

I love when my academic family grows! Attending the very first Politics and Gender Conference at Rutgers University was one of those moments. I met many familiar faces and made new exciting connections.

Exciting news: Together with my fantastic supervisor, @sonjablum.bsky.social, we have turned my BA thesis from @fernunihagen.bsky.social into a research article. We investigate how science was used in the narratives surrounding the school shutdowns in NYC.
