What’s changed for girls around the world in the past 30 years? A new @UNICEF report shows that #girls still face disadvantages in #education, #health and their living conditions, especially in low-income regions. Learn more: weforum.org/stories/2025/03/…

A favorite quotation from Danny Kahneman: "Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it." (Except Danny.)
Very sad news. What a privilege to have had Danny Kahneman as the guiding star and moral compass of our field. His values shine through in everything written about him. Exemplary empirical humility - never scared to say he didn't know something. Always excited to test and learn
Today we’ve lost a giant and a visionary: Prof. Daniel Kahneman has passed at the age of 90. The Princeton SPIA community shares our condolences with his family and all who knew him, learned from him, and loved him. bit.ly/4cy0arM

I am a dutch, widowed parent, of a British child. I live in the UK on a parent visa and my daughter is happily growing up here, near my late wife's family and our friends.
Last week @ukhomeoffice cancelled my right to be here. In error.
A thread to put the record straight.
