Yesterday, I attended the inaugural lecture of my PhD advisor, Prof. Dr. Vivian Vignoles at Sussex, and I had the honour and privilege to introduce him. Let me celebrate this important day with a few remarks.

What happens when abortion access becomes restricted even without a law officially passing?
With Francesco Billari and @aksoyundan.bsky.social, we investigated how incidence of abortion, miscarriage and stillbirth changed under the anti-abortion campaign in Turkey.

PhD defenses in Spain last longer than 3.5 hours. Don’t get me wrong. For me now, it’s great. Just pack some food, drinks, coffee, learn to stretch while sitting. That would have made my experience incredible.

For me, this story illustrates that the whisper network is not sufficient. Despite having been in the same field, parts of overlapping social networks, and near enough topically to have corresponded with him several times, the Bloomberg piece is the first I had heard of it!

Great news: finally Miles Hewstone is exposed. I stopped citing him years ago, I warned friends/colleagues when I saw them publishing together, I informed as many people as possible about him. We all did. Had this piece been published 15 years ago, everyone would have already known. Shame on Oxford.
"Multiple men have remained in senior roles at Oxford for months or years after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged against them, Bloomberg found in a nine-month investigation based on interviews with almost 50 people as well as documents and other records."

It’s surprising that only yesterday marks this turning point. EU has been acting rightwing for much longer… all the years of the frau genocide’s lead.
Yesterday will mark a major turning point – the collapse of the European Parliament's decades-old centrist governing majority.
It's the end of an era, and the beginning of another.

The EU Parliament now has a right-wing majority
President von der Leyen's centre-right EPP yesterday broke the centrist coalition, joining with the far right in order to pass the climate deregulation demanded by Trump.

I’m not in France only to enjoy the baguettes, fromage or du vin, but also to do my fieldwork, maintain collaborations, and share my research findings with others. I had a great time today at Nanterre thanks to @cbadea.bsky.social after having lunch at the VIP salon and petting sheep eating grass :)
