I know this is not necessarily a popular opinion in academia, but nothing brings me more energy to keep going than workshops and conferences! 😍
#HERB2026 in Bologna was awesome! 🙌
Thanks to the organizers: @pietrobiroli.bsky.social & David Dragone 🙏 I strongly encourage you to submit next year!
Final presentation to close our #herb2026 conference is Flavia Cavallini, leveraging the #brexit referendum to understand the relationship between uncertainty and fertility 📉📈🧑🍼👶🚼
Final session of the #herb2026 workshop starts with Margaux Suteau @margauxsuteau.bsky.social taking about a novel survey they conducted among UK parents of 10-15y old about their knowledge, beliefs, and parenting practices about adolescent's social media usage.
And here is a picture of the awkward moment when we asked everyone to give up their personal space and present their ugly faces for the sake of social media content.
Look at those sinister grins of dubious researchers interested in risky health behaviors.
Love it. #herb2026
And the session is closed by Fiorella Parra-Mujica with an interesting presentation using Peruvian data on domestic violence and its link with heat waves

Davide, Paolo, and I have been organizing this conference for 4 years now, and every time I love it.
