Postdoctoral researcher at the Working Group on Public Administration, University of Konstanz. Researching trust in governance and factors leading to and resulting from overburdened bureaucracies. PhD in PolSci from Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Mom of two.
Inspiring week at the In_equality Conference 26! Great to share our work, reconnect with colleagues, and enjoy unusually healthy conference food. First-ever conference club night… right before my talk. Luckily, motherhood = advanced training in low sleep. Great conference, thanks to the organizers!

Just received the official photos from the @funcas.bsky.social Enrique Fuentes Quintana Award ceremony. It was a real pleasure to travel to Madrid and to learn about the work of the awardees across such diverse disciplines. Moments like these are a great reminder of how exciting research can be.

It has been an eventful few weeks, and I could not be ending the year on a higher note. After the good news of several articles being accepted for publication, I travelled to Madrid to attend the Funcas Enrique Fuentes Quintana Award ceremony, where my doctoral thesis received an honorable mention.

New early online in @reggovjournal.bsky.social “Trust, Crisis, and Delegation.” Across 28 European countries during COVID-19, trust is higher when public health authority is delegated to fully independent agencies, while “in-between” setups with overlapping authority are linked to lower trust.

@abegomez.bsky.social and I found common research ground. Check it out!
New from @janagomezdiaz.bsky.social and I 😀
