🆕Paper @MPIDRnews: @d_alburez @Acosta_Kike_ @ezagheni & Nathalie E. Williams studied the extent & duration of bereavement among those left behind in armed conflict and predict how long & intensely this grief is likely to last. @uw_sociology @CEDemografia demogr.mpg.de/go/conflictber…
Of all things in my career, my greatest pride is in the numerous accomplishments of my students and postdocs (some not pictured, though hopefully will be in a future year).

Did the U.S. undercount COVID-19 deaths?
Our new study in @PNASNews finds that:
1. There were approximately 163,000 excess deaths from natural causes other than COVID-19 between Mar 2020 and Aug 2022
2. Many were unrecognized COVID-19 deaths

What an experience! This course gave me tools I never thought I could use to model kinship within my research area. Thanks to @MPIDRnews for the opportunity,
and thanks to @AppDemography and @AVerdery for the support.
Pd: also, made a bunch of new friends and coauthors. 👍🏼🫶🏼
Full of energy and new ideas after concluding the first-ever full-scale course on the Demography of Kinship! All the course materials, including a series of fantastic #RStats tutorials by @ivanchowilliams, are available online: ivanwilli.github.io/matrix_k….

So wonderful to close out our @psupopresearch Brown Bag series with a fascinating talk from @ProfCarmen about the gendered and racial differences in community surveillance and the implications for Latina women’s health.
Very excited to see my exceptional postdoc, @MaraSheftel, has a new article leveraging an innovative binational study design to answer some core unanswered questions in the migration literature about return migration, income, migrant decision-making, & wealth stratification.
In “Immigrant Wealth Stratification & Return Migration,” @MaraSheftel shows that “return migration is associated with a more diverse asset portfolio…& higher total net wealth” & so can represent “a story of success.” @GC_CUNY @CIDR_NYC @psupopresearch

When it comes to the #overdose crisis, both supply & demand have been driven by bad federal and state policy choices, nefarious corporate behaviors, & a neoliberal policy regime that prioritizes maximizing profit over protecting population health. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Our new #dataviz is online @SociusJournal. We show that surveys conducted remotely by mobile phone since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic have often generated (much) noisier data on age than recent household surveys and censuses journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
