when to use which of those types for what research questions (selection seems convenience-based), which types of inferential slippage are most damaging, and how to reconcile individual vs. collective behaviors (which are still composed of individuals and can sometimes be studied as such).
Thanks for this work. I enjoyed reading it, and I find it useful to name all these types of heterogeneity, even if we still end up with an awkward combination of intent, consequence, domain, person property vs. event, etc. My main confusion is now ...
Pro-environmental behavior is often used as a broad βοΈ term under which different behaviors (e.g., mitigation, conservation, restoration), sustainability approaches (e.g., sufficiency, efficiency), types of behavior, domains (e.g., mobility, energy, food), and their antecedents are summarized.

Tremendous shade thrown in Het Parool π
Same here: I feel compelled by these countable bits but when I was tracking the actual citations they were mostly trivial and frequently wrong. Very unsettling

"Slipshod science should not be worthwhile."
Worth a read.
Worth seriously considering her proposal for restructuring reward initiatives in science.
This eerie mosaic depicts Winter holding a bare branch and wearing a birrus (a hooded cloak used extensively in ancient Britain). Its use of cool blue colours, the seeming melancholy in the face & the sparse pale background really conveys the cold barrenness of winter.

βNEW PAPER β
We collaborated with AWorld, the largest app for personal climate action, to examine behavioral patterns, data quality, and the links between users' actions, carbon footprints and psychological factors.

Last week. I think these will only become more important in this age. I'd like to add oral exams too.
I always had the vague feeling that Scientific Reports and Nature Communications are mainly APC business models.
A paper estimated the total APC for gold/hybrid Open Access per journal 2015β2018: doi.org/10.1162/qss_...
Surprise, surprise - there are 2 outliers at the topπ
solved, thank you
Do I know any USC (University of Southern California) staff, faculty, or students? I have a special library request that requires a current affiliation. Thank you ~
Took me a long time!
Nice. Perhaps assuming the scale of difficulty is linear makes this more impressive seeming. In tennis for example, I've read that between rank beginner and #1 there are 14 matchups of 5/95% win probability. Such a steep... climb!
I just rewatched Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) because my wife had never seen it. It has been remastered and upscaled to be beautiful and crisp in high-def. Honestly, it looks amazing. The props, costumes, and sets still blow me away.
I don't teach history! Thanks for the helpful links, I will read them. My Dutch is also mediocre/ok.
Yes, great example, thank you. I teach this history of protest in Amsterdam. It is perhaps a better case than Paris to reveal the feedback loop between individual actions, policy and infrastructure change, and back to individual actions.
That's revealing. I didn't realize the rates were so modest to begin with. No wonder I always read about the change in relative rather than absolute rates!
Useful history. I think 10 years could be seen as fast for this level of transformation. I'm not surprised that policy and luck help; more, where did the political will come from?
That's illuminating, thank you.
Paris invested heavily in bike infrastructure and saw a massive increase in ridership. Does anyone know about research on where the willingness and investment came from, e.g., attitudes, priorities, city-level meetings, national conversations? How do such changes in policy and infrastructure emerge?
Yeah. It's not just bad coverage in education. The more fundamental problems I think are the lack of error correction either during peer review or after publication; there being no consequences for a paper getting it wrong.
Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?
These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.
So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019β2023...
If ever there was a moment to shame climate wrongdoers, that moment is now. To that end, I offer a recently published article (by @sharonyadin.bsky.social & me) on how ordinary folks like you & me--plus civil society & governments--can harness the power of shame.

Lots of debate in NL right now about our wealth tax and the changing rules. There's uncertainty and I think that also causes distaste. If it was just 'the way we do it' it would be easier to be proud of what values and benefits it supports, maybe?
Picture showing the cover of the book this post is about.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Science in Resistance: The scientist rebellion for climate justice by Fernando Racimo. Maybe not very surprising, after all, it was reading a paper by Fernando that made me join Scientist Rebellion three years ago.
