New paper out in @jmfncfr.bsky.social with @minekuhn.bsky.social and @zjvanwinkle.bsky.social. We use (weighted) sequence complexity indices to estimate mental + physical health in mid-adulthood. Results (again) highlight the vulnerability of single mothers.

New paper with @fabriberna.bsky.social - part of my PhD thesis!

Super happy to see this great paper by @rutheva.bsky.social, @rosacheesman.bsky.social , Ole Andreassen and myself out now!
