Just did the proofs for this short methods paper that I really like!
Not everyday you get to 'solve' a problem identified 30 years ago in some of the most widely used statistical models in #sociology 👀 - and with two super awesome collaborators, what a blast 🥳
Yes! And if that would initiate a culture of a more collaborative way of making opposition politics, it would be a big win.
👆 this is so true, unfortunately. A married couple where one is a medical doctor and the other a lawyer is the epitome of German prestige.
That said, German federalism and its two-chamber system may make a minority government a bit more challenging than the unicameral Scandinavian ones.
I have received a request to review from the Israel Science Foundation today. I have declined it. My email reply below.
My position is similar to @philipncohen.com : I do not collaborate with institutions linked to the Israeli government.
But I do collaborate with individual researchers.
Sollte es dereinst noch liberale Historiker geben, dann werden sie ueber das 21. Jahrhundert schreiben: Erneut verfiel das liberale Buergertum einer irrationalen Furcht, dieses Mal nicht vor Kommunisten, dieses Mal vor den Woken (USA) und den Gruenen/Shitbuergern (Deutschland).

Refugees in 🇩🇪 are not allowed to relocate for some time after arrival. We know this is bad for integration. So, once they are allowed to, refugees move to places with opportunity, right?
On average: no, as @mschaeffer.bsky.social and I show in a new publication @scmrjems.bsky.social

This work has implications for a radical idea: diseases formerly thought to be biologically non-communicable (e.g., obesity, depression, hypertension, arthritis, etc.) may actually be (somewhat!) communicable, via the spread of the microbiome. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 13/
We can actually predict who your friends are based on whether you have similar bacteria in your poop! And that metric outperforms other more usual social features, such as how you resemble your friends on a host of traits like age, sex, wealth, etc. 7/

But increased awareness didn’t lead to more support for anti-discrimination policies!
This echoes my study with @kkrakows.bsky.social and @asmusletholsen.bsky.social on Danish majority citizens’ misperceptions of discrimination against Muslims:

Why does integration sometimes lead to more #discrimination?
In our survey experiment on the “integration paradox“, immigrants & descendants who learned about research on discrimination against immigrants were (20% of SD) more likely to disclose personal experiences.

In most places in the world, power from new renewables is now cheaper than power from new fossil fuels.
Why did renewables become so cheap so fast?
The answer: learning curves.
