My takeaway number 3 from #Sunbelt2024: ☝️ „More urban instead of rural areas in the sample because when the interviewers are confronted with a shotgun, they tend to not go back. Common practice in Indiana.“ (Harold Green) #sunbelt2024 #insna #socialnetworkanalysis

My takeaway number 2 from #Sunbelt2024: ☝️“When you have both types of pets [cats & dogs], everything goes down a little.“ (Leora Lawton on benefits of pets & SN) #sunbelt2024 #edinburghsunbelt #heriotwattuniversity #scottishsunbelt #insna #socialnetworks #socialnetworkanalysis
