Thrilled to receive the Victoria S. Levin Award! Many thanks to @srcdorg.bsky.social for supporting my research on climate change and human development 🌎

Happy to be joining Bluesky in the new year! I'm a psychologist, currently completing my PhD in Global Mental Health at King's College London. I'm interested in the intersections of aging research, loneliness, and climate change, particularly in Myanmar. Looking forward to connecting!

Important article by @jorgecuartas.bsky.social Accepted and normalised violence against children - ie. corporal punishment - is associated with higher levels of violence across society including conflict. Ending violence against children is a foundational peace building strategy

I am *so* excited that a labor of love on "the next 1,000 days" of child development is out in The Lancet after years of collaboration with an incredible group of authors led by Catherine Draper and Milagros Nores.

There is rightly a considerable focus on promoting development in the first 1000 days of life, but the next 1000 days are also incredibly important! For health, cognitive outcomes, learning and more, it's essential to give this period attention. Great to see this addressed in this Lancet series.

🌎I am thrilled to share our @TheLancet series on early childhood development and the 'next 1,000 days' 👇 cuartaslab.com/the-next-100...

Imagine a cancer conference run by or dominated by tobacco industry How is that different from Climate conferences run or dominated by fossil fuel industry?

Exciting to see Bluesky grow! I created a starter pack for folks interested in all things traumatic stress. Please don’t hesitate to add: go.bsky.app/MHqLdaG

In a new paper in Nature Medicine we argue that polarization is a serious—and overlooked—determinant of health. #Polarization is analogous to a preexisting medical condition because it creates a population susceptible to negative influences. Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm thrilled to see this site building a serious community of researchers, writers and policymakers focused on education policy and economics. Below are links to 3 Starter Packs I've made to help you connect with such folks. Please let me know if I've missed you. The volume of requests has been 😮

Global measles cases surged by more than 20% to an estimated 10.3 million last year, WHO and the CDC said. About 107,500 people, mostly young children, died — an “unacceptable” death toll from a disease that’s preventable through vaccination, the health groups said.

First post here to share that our paper on the impacts of the Colombian regularization program for Venezuelan forced migrants is forthcoming at the JEEA. Joint work with a fantastic team — @sandrarozo.bsky.social Ana Maria Ibáñez, María Adelaida Ortega, and María Jose Urbina. t.co/vG1gaiaUpi

About 6 months ago we published a paper in PNAS that for many reasons went a bit under the hood. But given the growth of #EconSky, here's a short thread about it. It's cool! It has: - *Insane* microdata - Simple approach - Relevant policy result It was likely also my last academic work. Here we go

Many negative things are happening in the world, but so much good as well. @danacmccoy.bsky.social, Jorge Cuartas, and I wrote a research letter in JAMA Pediatrics that shows #nurturingcare for children worldwide is getting better and these improvements are linked to better #ECD. t.co/hKEw8sGKlG
