So happy to see this surprising work out. Terrific job by Amar D'Adamo and his supervisor @anatajadura.bsky.social, with the help of Lize de Coster and myself. We show that social support networks shape body perception: larger networks weaken the illusion and link to higher body image satisfaction!

Female academics are much more affected by the birth of a child than are male academics.

Academic mothers are much more likely to...
