Personal AI policy Students use AI for many tasks these days, but it is important if and when you use it that it becomes an augmentation and not a replacement of your own work. Supervisors can usually tell the difference, and my motivation to help will be directly related to the effort you put in. If I notice that you let AI work for you, you will simply get less from me in return. Don’t be afraid to share work that is imperfect or incomplete. A poor draft that reflects your own thinking is infinitely better than a draft that looks polished but where your thinking was not involved.

In addition to official policies that are in place, I've started including this 'personal AI policy' in communications with students I supervise.

The cost of austerity: How UK public spending cuts led to 190,000 excess deaths - LSE Inequalities Austerity measures (2010-19) cost the average Briton nearly 1/2 a year in life expectancy. Regional disparities widened and 190,000 excess deaths occurred.

On #WorldHealthDay, we highlight evidence that economic decisions have profound health impacts.

Austerity policies in the UK are associated with 190,000 excess deaths and widening regional inequalities in life expectancy.

@mussino.eu Congratulations!

I only wrote this substack *yesterday* about the dangers of being a foreign student or academic in the US, but I am already having to update it as more disappearances and visa revocations happen.

While the effects of unemployment were similar among the unemployed population, we found mental health disparities by immigrant background among the employed, suggesting that improving the labor market position alone is not enough to tackle mental health inequalities between the two groups. (3/4)

Our latest study, published in Social Science & Medicine, uses Swedish register data to investigate whether the associations between unemployment, overqualification, and the first use of psychotropic medication differ between the second generation and the majority population. (2/4)

🚨 NEW RESEARCH ALERT! 🚨
Do labor market disadvantages, such as unemployment and overqualification, affect children of immigrants born in the destination country (the second generation) in the same way as they affect the majority native population?
