The NIH is cancelling dozens of grants involving vaccines, including a project that studied whether the COVID vax is safe for breastfeeding mothers. mRNA vaccine research is next on the chopping block. Story @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Some history and philosophy of science about into why this matters- traditionally medical and biological research has studied male animals much more than females. To this day there is still a skew 1 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

New paper co-authored with Dr. Cara Ebert @rwi.bsky.social: What was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on violence against women in Germany? We analyse longitudinal data on help requests to helplines & shelters + survey data from the first pandemic wave www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Very important work on #ethics in #fieldresearch. We have to establish adequate structures and standards to ensure #equity and #safety in international research, and, importantly, we need funders to allow for, even demand these structures. #EconSky #GlobalHealth

Out today in World Development Perspectives: Our paper on #ethics & #equity failures faced by research staff collecting data in LMIC contexts 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @tum.de @garciahdezana.bsky.social

Thrilled that our report "CONTENT WARNING: Public Attitudes on Content Moderation and Freedom of Expression", launched today, has received a very warm reception by the media! 📖 Read the coverage: www.zeit.de/news/2025-02... More info below on some of the questions we tackle 🧵👇

An estimated 300,000 people standing up for democracy in Munich today ❤️❤️❤️

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Digitale Gewalt treibt demokratische Stimmen aus den Parlamenten. @yvonnemagwas.bsky.social ist kein Einzelfall. Wir müssen verhindern, dass nicht nur die übrig bleiben, die Hetze verbreiten. Denn Hass darf nicht regieren. Das sind unsere Forderungen: hateaid.org/hass-hetze-p...

I knew Shakespeare would have a line for today.

Yesterday I had the great honour of presenting our report on #DigitalViolence against politically active people in Germany at a Federal Press Conference in Berlin with our partner organisation @hateaid.org - with support from @bidt.bsky.social

Jede 2. politisch engagierte Person hat schon Anfeindungen im Internet erlebt. Das zeigt die neue Studie der TUM in Kooperation mit HateAid. Die Folge: Digitale Gewalt gefährdet das politische Engagement in Deutschland. Unsere Forderungen: hateaid.org/hass-hetze-p... #AngegriffenUndAlleingelassen

#AngegriffenUndAlleingelassen: Wer sich für unsere Gesellschaft einsetzt, ist häufig von Anfeindungen im Netz betroffen. Politisch Engagierte brauchen mehr Schutz. Das zeigt die neue Studie der TU München mit HateAid: hateaid.org/hass-hetze-p...

New pre-print! We show evidence that online misogyny can have a deterrence on female political candidate. w/ Luise Koch, Raji Ghawi, @jisteinert.bsky.social Thanks to @bidt.bsky.social for funding this project. arxiv.org/abs/2403.07523

📢Question for #EconSky & others: Has anyone ever programmed an implicit association test for touchscreen only? Most IATs I have seen require keyboards to measure reaction time. However, planning to implement this in rural India where we collect data on mobile tablets and won't have keyboards...

Historisches Urteil für alle Betroffenen: OLG bestätigt, dass Meta massenhafte Falschzitate selbst finden und löschen muss. Ein wichtiges Zeichen gegen systematische Desinformation. Mehr zu unserem Erfolg im Grundsatzprozess mit Renate Kuenast: hateaid.org/historisches...

🥳 congrats to @chrisvsteinert.bsky.social, who won the 2023 Palmer Prize for best article in @conflictmanagement.bsky.social 👏 ! Check out his super interesting study on duration of political imprisonment in China!

📣Hi #Econsky: Analysing helpline & shelter data on links between Cv19 and domestic violence in Germay & assessing whether economic pressures were driving the increase in violence. Any hints on open source economic data from GER for 2020 I could use? Needs to be at monthly and state/Bundesland level

Die Chefs der Social-Media-Konzerne verbannen immer mehr Forschende von ihren Plattformen. EU-Kommissionspräsidentin von der Leyen kann das ändern. Wir fordern von ihr klare Regeln für den Zugang zu Daten. Unterstützt jetzt unsere Petition #FreeTravisFreeResearch ▶ hateaid.org/petition-tra...

Hi #EconSky: I am looking for a reliable data collection organisation in India to help implement a randomised controlled trial of a community-based intervention focused on reducing economic and other partner violence against women. My funder is asking for 3 competitive offers. Any recommendations?

Exposure to graphic videos/images, like those of Gaza and Israel currently shared on this platform, can induce severe emotional distress. If you absolutely must watch this footage, consult Bellingcat's guide to reduce risk of vicarious traumatisation 👇 Polisky conflictsky menasky

Seit vier Tagen hier und liebe es jeden Tag ein wenig mehr. Morgens durch den Feed zu gehen und fast nur konstruktives zu lesen, ist krass ungewöhnlich.

Yes, I'm loving the vibes here! Here goes my intro: I’m a development economist working on global healthy aging. I work on public-health & econ studies on access to CVD and HIV care, preventive health behavior, and healthy aging. #HiSciSky #EconSky #EpiSky #MedSky

Loved being at the @Ispcan Congress in Edinburgh to present our research on intergenerational violence transmission, development of the questionnaire and safeguarding procedure for a prevalence survey on child abuse and neglect and our discussion paper on child consent. #risetoendchildabuse

Hey Stata folks! Want to visually present your regression results? I made a guide. It covers key aesthetics, combining results from multiple models, working w/ logit models, & more. Oh, and I provide all the code. Comments/feedback welcome! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

This works really well👇

Does anyone know how long it takes (after profile creation) to receive invite codes? There are still lots of people on the other side waiting to migrate

buchpremiere ist am 02.10. um 20 uhr im pfefferbergtheater. es gibt noch ein paar tickets www.berlin.de/tickets/lite... alles sehr aufregend, ich freu mich auf euch!

If you just joined, know that you'll have invite codes appear in your profile soon. 🙋🏼‍♀️ May I humbly suggest you directly offer them to folks who are currently underrepresented here. As long as this place relies on gatekeepers it's going to lean heavily towards some groups and that's... not great.

Oh, that sounds very useful. Any other tips for getting started?
