Collider bias: the gift that keeps giving.

This is brilliant news for students in the UK - and in the EU. As someone who has benefitted from the programme myself back in 2013/14 (me lo pasé muy bien en Madrid), I'm excited that future generations will be able to, too. #Erasmus #ErasmusGeneration #YouthMobility

🧵 Thread on new research on gender gaps in “don’t know” responses Some of you will know that my stellar coauthors @hannahbunting.bsky.social @cerifowler.bsky.social @jess-smith.bsky.social @annasanders.bsky.social & I have been working on a large-scale project on “don’t know” responses in surveys.

#IPDLNConference26 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on July 13–16, 2026. FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS for oral, poster, and rapid-fire presentations. Submissions are invited until December 14, 2025. ipdln.org/call-for-pap...

The hike in ASN records may also reflect socioeconomic inequalities which must be addressed at a structural level. Today's education statistics from Scotland show some positive signs, but what remains really crucial to find out is who gets left behind? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How come that journals want high-quality figures but then don't support the submission of vector files? #academicpublishing #AcademicBluesky

We are delighted to share this #sotl #advent #calendar with all of you #lthechat #edusky #academicsky uofgsotl.blog/12-days-of-s...

Last-minute room change (that my students knew about but I didn't) & no working IT in the room: this is how I ended up free-styling OLS regression diagnostics and R code on the whiteboard today. Luckily, I have amazing students who are such a joy to work with. But I'm glad it's the weekend now 😅

Pleased to see this out in print - detailing MAIHDA's desirable statistical properties. "MAIHDA is especially valuable when inequalities are subtle or data for marginalised intersections are sparse - conditions common in practice" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @clarerevans.bsky.social

What an honour to see Diane Elson launch her book at the WiSE Centre for Economic Justice @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social tonight. Her seminal work highlights the need to recognise unpaid work as part of the economy, including care, household labour and volunteering.

Living in an unequal society, regardless of individual wealth, can lead to structural changes in the brains of children. #ScienceatKings #PopulationHealth

Without action families with children will see their disposable income fall over this parliament. Couples with children £750 worse off, lone parents £780.That’s electorally perilous. Scrapping the 2 child limit and creating a minimum floor in universal credit would offset the fall.

What are the barriers to children’s early learning? Over the last 18 months, @laouthwaite.bsky.social has worked with Ofsted, as part of the URKI Policy Fellowship scheme, to explore this question. Here’s what she found, why it matters, and what we can do about it www.linkedin.com/company/ofst...

Starmer calls immigration policy over the past years a 'squalid' period. What a choice of language.

You are a "citizen of nowhere", they said. A "queue-jumper", they said. Now I am a "squalid chapter", they say. A risk as I might make this an "island of strangers", they say. I am "pulling the country apart", they say.

Armut ist und bleibt Faktor Nr. 1 für Bildungsungerechtigkeit in Deutschland. Schade, dass die neue ARD Doku #Versetzungsgefährdet relativ wenig differenziert zwischen Bildung, Wissen und Intelligenz. www.ardmediathek.de/video/story/...

Had a lovely little spring break in Hamburg and North Germany. Caught this great view of the city and the harbour from the Michel Tower last weekend.

Very pleased to learn that a grant proposal I wrote together with Dr Nina Teasdale from the WiSE Centre on Economic Justice @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social on #gender and #UnpaidCare in same-sex partnerships has been successful in the latest round of British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grants.

An insightful keynote speech from @uofglasgow.bsky.social’s Professor @moragtreanor.bsky.social. Today’s conference builds on research undertaken by @aberlourcharity.bsky.social with Morag into the connection between public debt and child poverty. 📸 Professor Morag Treanor

Waarom staken we? In het kort: Het kabinet-Schoof brengt de toekomst van Nederland in gevaar. Door de bezuinigingen moet belangrijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek stoppen –onderzoek dat hard nodig om urgente maatschappelijke problemen op te lossen. Dit kunnen we niet laten gebeuren. #DoeHetNiet.
