🚨I have a new paper out in PNAS with my co-authors,
@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]
"Family Networks and Childcare Choices: A Predictive
Machine Learning Approach"
Just out in our journal, @sociologicalsci.bsky.social

Thank you, had a great time at UNED Madrid, and thanks for all the helpful feedback on our project!
Great shot and great to have @acastroaraujo.bsky.social at @eui-sps.bsky.social here in Florence the next 2 years!

@simonhix.bsky.social, thanks for everything!
You've done so much for us at @eui-sps.bsky.social and we will miss you dearly.
"Applying our approach to a major Dutch cultural controversy, we show that the inclusion of negative interactions provides a new empirical picture of the dynamics of online polarization."
