Last week, after four incredible years, I defended my dissertation and was awarded a PhD in Political Science from the @eui-eu.bsky.social. It was a really special moment surrounded by family and friends, both old and new. Thank you to everyone who came to the defense and supported me along the way.
We have a new paper out in PNAS. Susannaās thread outlines our findings. The big picture takeaway is that well-designed climate education (active, personally relevant, science-based) can complement fiscal and regulatory instruments by building public support for ambitious policy!
More generally though, I would like to thank my co-authors @susannagarside.bsky.social @ninalopezuroz.bsky.social and @renschazottes.bsky.social ā you are all brilliant and I learnt so much from you on this project. Perhaps more importantly, I also had a huge amount of fun working together!
I want to thank committee members @fgenovese.bsky.social and @ainagallego.bsky.social for their really insightful and challenging questions. And I especially want to thank my supervisors @filipkostelka.bsky.social and @simonhix.bsky.social for their guidance and support over the years.
I am also really excited to say that, from August, I will be joining the @watsonschoolbrown.bsky.social as a Postdoctoral Researcher working with some brilliant colleagues at the @climatesollab.bsky.social. I can't wait to get started!

@maxbradley.bsky.social @renschazottes.bsky.social
and @ninalopezuroz.bsky.social: "Educational policies can strengthen climate coalitions." A thread on what we found (and a great story about doing ambitious research without funding!) [1/9]
