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

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

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.

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/...

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.
