Interesting keynote by Ellen Helsper at the @eui-eu.bsky.social conference on digital inequalities. The best predictor of digital literacy is…. print literacy.

Interesting paper in Nature Genetics on the genetics of field of study. @rosacheesman.bsky.social presented it at the EUI sone time ago. I just note that the genetics propensity to the social sciences is opposite of agriculture. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

On Monday we organize this conference on social mobility at the @eui-eu.bsky.social’s Inequality Cluster. It’s fully booked, but if you’re at the EUI check out Emeroteca as it’s likely there are no-shows. I’m presenting new work on politics and social mobility. Creating political climate vars look:
