Thank you for the platform! I don't like the phrase 'money can't buy x' (for any x), it's just too vague and not true when taking literally. It was great to juxtapose the ideas abt wellbeing @markfabian.bsky.social and I have been developing with those of @lfitouchi.bsky.social and moral psychology.

We conceived this series to put into words the experience of #philsci researchers from Eastern n Central Europe. There are 2 entries from @boruttrpin.bsky.social and @danielkostic.bsky.social Thanks to both! These are stories of success and resilience, but read about the darker sides too and learn.

Fantastic upcoming conference β€” check out the super-interesting work that @vmywang.bsky.social will present on the Glasgow effect and the tricky choice of causal variables for causal modelling in public health when dealing with complex multifactorial phenomena such as excess mortality.

Publishing on racism against people racialised as Eastern Europeans and its impact on health is not easy. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who supported me throughout this process.

We think this matters because the intellectual life of our region is shaped by distinctive histories, pressures, and difficulties that often remain invisible.
