Closing 2025 with a long-awaited research milestone! Our new paper in Archives of Sexual Behavior documents a sharp rise in premarital sex among Bangladeshi women. I presented this work at APA Conference 2024 (Kathmandu) where it received a Best Poster Award. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Did you know that there were only 3 posters in #PAA2025 on #menopause among all 272 sessions, ~1,000 talks, and 978 posters? Our DHS‑based findings on menopause timing in South and Southeast Asia sparked meaningful conversations—proof that the interest is there when the topic is given space.

Demographers ability to model the global population ("10 billion by 2050 followed by plateau") rely on DHS surveys. Without them we're blind to large parts of the globe and quality of forecasts will go down. Which is of course a non-issue if planing-horizons don't extend beyond next Friday.

From wandering the enchanting streets of Prague to receiving overwhelming appreciation for our work on menopause timing at the Conference of the Young Demographers 2025—these five days have been a heartfelt journey of discovery, insights, and unforgettable memories! #demography #menopause_timing

Happy to have attended the 6th IMPRS-PHDS Annual Academy at the @mpidr.bsky.social! As part of the @imprs-phds.bsky.social Cohort 2024 (www.imprs-phds.mpg.de), I introduced my PhD project "Social Demography of Menopause Timing" and was grateful for the positive feedback it received. #menopause

My Talk. Why is the title "The Menopause Guy"? On October 11, I presented our work at an interdisciplinary workshop on menstruation at the University of St Andrews, where I had the unique experience of being the only “man” among participants working on menopause. As a result, I was given the nickname "The Menopause Guy” which I have loved so much and embraced for myself!

It was an amazing experience to present our work at the Understanding Menstruation through Interdisciplinary Lenses Workshop at the University of St Andrews. It's BLOODY time that LMICs break the silence and talk about Menstruation. #Menopause #LMICs

I met in-person with Prof. Hill Kulu and Dr. Chia Liu for the first!
