Had a great couple of days @unisouthampton.bsky.social for #PopFest2025! Was nice to be back. Finally got to present my research on the changes to fertility patterns and composition during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Image shows Dr Antonino Polizzi giving a keynote speech in front of a PowerPoint screen at the PopFest2025 conference at the University of Soutampton. Antonino’s research focus lies in the interplay between economic inequality, particularly poverty, and health over the life course.

Our second keynote speaker at #PopFest2025 was @polizzan.bsky.social, discussing his PhD thesis on the causes and consequences of growing #lifeexpectancy shortfalls.

Antonino also discussed his #PhD journey, giving delegates lots of useful insights to use in their own work. @bspsuk.bsky.social

Presenters at the #PopFest2025 conference stand by their posters which they presented during the poster session on 7 July.

🧾What a great poster session last night at #PopFest2025 - thanks to our presenters!

We learned more about international research across #population studies, all sponsored by Social Statistics & #Demography in the School of #Economic, #Social and #Political Sciences @unisouthampton.bsky.social 👏👏
