Our paper "Sleeping With the Enemy" is featured in the Süddeutsche Zeitung in "Wie viel Gegensatz verträgt die Liebe?" (how much opposition can love bear?), Sebastian Herrmann uses our study to make a point that political difference between partners has stopped being only a matter of taste.

🚨Out today in @nature.com our new paper uses deep learning to map four decades of global human migration. By building the first comprehensive, four-decade dataset of annual flows (1990-2023), we reveal that global migration has nearly tripled since 2000. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Innovation must not become exclusion. I have seen this message circulating on social media (in Italian): a society that forces an 80-year-old to use a smartphone to access their rights is not modern, is discriminatory #digitaldivide #intergenerationalfairness
