Very proud of my colleague Louise Cormack for winning this prize!

Join us in Lund this summer for a course on health inequalities using longitudinal demographic data

Some reflections on this coverage of mine and Vegard Skirbekk study.

The basic take that having only 1 child was an uncertain pathway to leaving direct progeny is correct.

This was due to both high childlessness for the cohorts we study and high mortality.

Better late than never (I guess I was busy in July 2020?), but finally read Sam Preston's charming & inspiring piece on his #demography career.

We should all approach our scholarly work with such curiousity, humanity, & humor.🙏

Very glad that I was allowed to talk about my research interests in such good company. I made the case to look at families to address broader health & mortality inequality.

Happy to see a great audience and wonderful presentation today at our Session 'Placed, Spatial perspective on social and demographic outcomes'. Thanks for all authors and coauthors Jamie Pearce Finn Hedefalk Ingrid van Dijk

Health and longevity are not individual accomplishments but cluster strongly in families.

Thread 1/7🧵

#MolEpi verouderingsonderzoeker Eline Slagboom is het hiet niet mee eens (zie ditzelfde artikel NRC). Preventie van ziekten, een hogere kwaliteit van leven is het hogere doel en niet persé langer leven.

To all demographers: happy mid-year estimate day!
