Refreshing to see a piece that doesn’t just blame young people for being "lazy and entitled." However, I think it misses another point: the "Boomer vs. Gen Z" framing completely ignores the massive, widening inequalities within generations. 👇 apple.news/AG1kqT5XNRiO...

New blog post! In which I explain the issue with mediation analysis and sketch out one way to deal with the underlying causal inference problem -- in just a bit over 1,000 words! If you have never found the time to read up on this, now is your chance. www.the100.ci/2025/03/20/r...

This work with Alejandra Letelier Rodríguez and @rebeccalacey.bsky.social suggests caring has become more common for young people since the pandemic. More awareness and support is required.
