- Reposted by Nikki Shure🎓 Degrees boost women's income, but by how much? A new @lseimpactblog.bsky.social published by @ucl.ac.uk researchers argues that only using annual earnings figures is not enough to answer the question. Analysis using Next Steps data can paint a more reliable picture. Find out more👉 buff.ly/Z6D45di

- I went to see the Lee Miller exhibition at @tate.bsky.social last weekend (curated by my brilliant friend Hilary 🌟) and was struck by the range of Miller’s work. It is to quote Hilary: “fearless, poetic, and surreal”.
- I found Miller’s photo of @ucl.ac.uk taken during WWII quite surreal. I walk through the Wilkins Building on a regular basis and never stopped to think of all it has seen. Looking forward to (hopefully!) learning more as part of #ucl200
- I cannot recommend this exhibition enough—go see it! #tatebritain
- Today marks my 10 (!!!) year anniversary at @sriucl.bsky.social and my first day as a full professor. Grateful for all the people who helped me get here, especially my amazing QSS colleagues. Here’s to the next 10!

- Writing this paper with John Jerrim and Phil Parker got me started on a whole journey about gender differences in over-/underconfidence.
- In related work with @adameczanna.bsky.social we show that boy twins also overestimate their math ability as compared to their girl twin and their parents and teachers do the same link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- Now with amazing colleagues at @ucl.ac.uk we are going to look at how over-/underconfidence explains gender and SES gaps in real world job application outcomes.
- The @sriucl.bsky.social has been the best place to do this research ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

- Reposted by Nikki Shure📢 In a new @diw.de weekly report, we show that there are (average) differences in math and reading competencies between men and women, but they don’t explain much of the gender pay gap. For more details, read below (in German) 💡 Joint work with @jonasjessen.bsky.social and Frauke Witthöft.
- Die Gründe für den #GenderPayGap sind vielfältig. DIW-Forscherin @kinnelavinia.bsky.social hat zusammen mit @jonasjessen.bsky.social und Frauke Witthöft erforscht, ob unterschiedliche Kompetenzen von Männern und Frauen einen Beitrag leisten. www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....
- So proud of my UCL colleagues for their years of amazing work on this. tldr: the class ceiling is very real in access to elite professions
- 📢 New report out today! 📢 ➡️ Access the report here: repec-cepeo.ucl.ac.uk/cepeow/cepeo... 📊 What did we find? 🔸 Most of the socio-economic background (SEB) and ethnic inequalities in entry to professional occupations are driven by employer-side decisions made during the recruitment process
