Reminder that earlier naturalization leads to better integration of immigrants. Extending the period necessary for settlement in the UK will have exactly the opposite effect of what Starmer and the Labour leadership claim. "Migrants first have to prove themselves" is a nativist trope and bad policy.

Does being the corresponding author (CA) matter? After serving on many selection committees for grants, promotions, and hiring in EU sociology, I’d say no. Even author order matters little. What counts are solo publications and diverse co-authorships. So don’t bother being CA.

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Four months ago, the TSJM court overturned Madrid’s LEZ, a step backwards given the proven benefits of these policies not just for air quality but for learning outcomes. Cities like London and Paris are already tightening restrictions—why not follow their lead?

100

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

🚸 What can governments do? While countries like Spain have contingency plans for extreme temperatures, policies to shield students from poor air quality are lagging.

100

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Students exposed to cleaner air earlier and for longer periods show even greater benefits. These effect sizes align with prior research, including studies on chess players where bad air quality hindered performance—a fitting analogy!

100

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Implementing LEZs not only improves air quality but also significantly boosts the academic performance of students living in and around these zones. This effect, though modest, is meaningful—especially for students striving to access competitive schools or degrees.

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

💡 My recent work with @mvaldes1989.bsky.social & @conteristo.bsky.social, published today (what better timing than International Education Day?), explores the relationship between low-emission zones (LEZs) and academic performance. Our findings?

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Despite this, policies addressing poor air quality in schools remain limited, even as research shows its tangible impact on human capital formation.

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

🌬️ Air pollution is a growing concern globally, affecting not just health but also how we learn. In 2022, Madrid recorded a PM2.5 concentration of 9.3 µg/m³, which surpasses WHO’s air quality guidelines.

100

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

In Madrid, between 2019 and 2023, residents experienced an average of 23.2 days per year with temperatures exceeding 35°C. Yet, while extreme heat is addressed, one equally pressing issue—air pollution—often flies under the radar.

100

Mar Cañizares Espadafor @marespadafor.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

One striking insight from the report is the rising need for schools to become more resilient to extreme weather events. Globally, the share of people experiencing at least two weeks of hot days annually has increased from 24% in 1979 to 46% in 2022.
