Adios Madrid! Had great time at #EPSA2025 and, most importantly, survived the maze of @uc3m.es Toledo Campus! 😄 Useful discussions, good feedback & great food! Thank you @epssnet.bsky.social

I am incredibly proud that my book, co-authored with Andrea Aldrich, is published. Using an original party leadership dataset from 11 parliamentary democracies, Andrea and I show that women candidates face a glass ceiling for leadership and quickly sink once elected (the quicksand theory).
