A week — and many degrees — ago ☀️
I attended #AMES2026 at NYU Abu Dhabi, where I presented work on the #menopause #penalty (w/ @rginja.bsky.social Petra Persson & Barton Willage) in a Health Shocks session.
Great discussion, excellent keynotes, and lovely to see colleagues from near and far! 🌴
Back at the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority 🇦🇪—energised by the ambition & pace of action.
Great discussion on evidence-based early intervention: earlier action, sharper targeting, better long-term outcomes—and the crucial role of delivery + measurement. 🚀

“The #Menopause ‘#Penalty’” now out as #CSEF Working Paper No. 770 (Jan 2026)!
📄 www.csef.it/WP/wp770.pdf
First circulated in March 2024 - the topic quickly sparked discussion beyond academia. ✨

Ready for a new year with the G-Lab.
2026. Onwards! 💪🏼 🚀
Nice! Made the same point for satisfaction measures collected online versus self-completion in one of my first papers 👉🏻 direct.mit.edu/rest/article...
Really enjoyed attending it! Tx to Alex + Tim Morris 4 organising @sriucl.bsky.social
I presented on GxE in the IG transmission of human capital, using NCDS & MCS 🧬
Nancy Daza Baez presented our work (w/ Rong Hai & Fan Wang) on GxE genes in the production of BMI across childhood, on MCS data 🍎 🤸
The #G-Lab is back! ✨
I’ve been travelling non-stop this term, but the team has been hard at work.
Our #MenopausePenalty paper is getting lots of attention, so we’re doubling down on #menopause, #work & #health.
Meet the 2025–26 team! 👇

Italy becomes the 1️⃣ country in Europe to recognise femicide as a specific crime — Parliament voted unanimously.
Proud of my country for calling gender-based violence what it is, & for taking a decisive step toward real accountability and protection. 🇮🇹✨

📍 Core takeaway: early-years commitment must sit across all of government — health, DfE, Treasury, local authorities, communities — not just in isolated programmes.
The APPG is quickly becoming a vital space for evidence-driven, cross-party progress. Energising to be part of this effort. ✨
3️⃣ #Reach: families least connected to services often face the highest long-term costs.
4️⃣ #SEND: needs must be recognised from birth, not just at school entry.
I highlighted four priorities for a modern, equitable early-years system ⬇️
1️⃣ #Workforce: recruitment, retention, and clarity on who delivers what from pregnancy–age 2.
2️⃣ #Integration: reduce the maze; rebuild universal, joined-up support.
The discussion moved far beyond childcare → into pregnancy, parental leave, early relational health, family hubs, developmental milestones… and yes, Sure Start, still one of the clearest examples of what universal, integrated support can achieve when government works as one. 🔗
Privileged to join the #APPG for #Babies - chaired w/ real drive by Maya Ellis MP, w/ Freddie van Mierlo MP, Kieran Mullan MP & Lord Simon Russell of Liverpool.
The energy in the room was exceptional: cross-party, evidence-hungry, and focused on practical solutions for the first 1,001 days.💡
I am very happy to join #CSEF at University of #Naples as a #Research #Affiliate — a special homecoming to my #alma #mater: csef.it/people/gabri... 🙂
Grateful for the chance to reconnect, collaborate and contribute! ✨🇮🇹
📢 Delighted to share that I will be giving a keynote at the #Economics of #Children in a Changing World #workshop at the @cesifo.org Summer Institute in Venice (24-25 June 2026), co-organised by Janet Currie and Joachim Winter! 🇮🇹
