💔After a union dissolution, some will move to new housing; others will stay in the previously shared housing.
🏡In a study in collaboration with #Solidaris, #Belgium, we examine if moving is more associated with #mentalhealth struggles than staying.

I am using LLM basically to sort students' answers (after asking to create a table of verbatims). But my attempts at asking AI to mark is catastrophic, even with some criteria. We need to develop guidelines, not banning AI altogether.

AI are really good at summarizing, with minimum guidelines and checks. Are abstract really necessary now? 🤔 The paper might have been corrected, not necessarily generated, by AI. Original ideas are never generated by AI, let alone hallucinations.

In many modern populations, grandparents are increasingly becoming the primary caregivers of their grandchildren. This phenomenon has renewed interest in the role that grandparents play in within-fam...
Why do associations between grandparents & child health vary [Africa]?: "implication is that net flows of support from grandparents to children diminish as societies undergo demographic & epidemiological transitions, weakening the positive association between grandparent coresidence & child health"
