"Instead of needing a village to raise a child, PGT-P’s commercial logic suggests it takes only sufficient capital and the right consumer decisions to conceive a child who will not need the solidarity of the village to be healthy." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just prepared my talk at the #ecsr2026 conference in Dublin. With @kimstienstra.bsky.social and @dieuwkezwier.bsky.social we present a new method to assess school effectiveness, using register data on primary school tests in the Netherlands. We compare our method with standard value added models.

Can mothers leverage the structural resources of their occupation like autonomy to balance motherhood and work, especially in the absence paid leave? My latest article in the Journal of Marriage and Family suggests so.

Exploring society through 🔬science and💃 dance My cousin & I discovered a shared passion for addressing societal issues through dance, now featured in The Teachers' Society! Is our shared interest 'nature' or 'nurture'? 🤔
