I turned 50 this month, and one of my favourite gifts was this card made by alumni and current members of my research group. It is, and always has been, a privilege to work with the next generation of scientists and watch them flourish

📣 New paper! 📣
We found that girls in later stages of puberty are more likely to have mental health problems & emotion regulation difficulties, with increased negative self-schemas playing a role in this

La composició social d’una part dels centres concertats s’ha diversificat: el 61% té una composició equilibrada respecte al seu entorn, 15 punts més que quan es va signar el Pacte.
❗️Però els centres públics encara matriculen el doble d’alumnat vulnerable que els concertats.

📈 La recerca internacional demostra que els països amb més despesa en beques tenen taxes més baixes d’abandonament escolar.
🔴Catalunya està a la cua d'Europa en inversió en beques.
És urgent treballar per una política pròpia de beques. En parlem el 14/2 al @hubsocialbcn! 👇
