Happy and exhausted at #ESRA25, I'm learning so much. And so absorbed that I did not set up anything for dinner tonight! 🫣

We are looking for a consultant to provide us with expert advice on our employment questions in self-completion surveys. Up to €10,000 is available for a consultant to help us in a review of employment items with high nonresponse. The deadline for applications is Friday 23 July.

New paper with Julian Urban @gesis.org, using @ess-survey.bsky.social data, trying to find out how the ESS could go about measuring education when transitioning to self-completion mode.

Danke für die klare Ansage, @mfratzscher.bsky.social . Ich hätte auch gerne zusätzliche Stimmen für meine Kinder.

💯 Sehr zu empfehlen! Beim SLOW treffen sich viele Kolleg*innen von deutschsprachigen Surveys um über die praktischen Probleme des Alltags zu reden, z.B. Fragebogenentwicklung, Sampling, Datenaufbereitung, usw. Auch ein paar meiner Kolleg*innen von SHARE sind dabei 😃

My institute is leaving X today! 🙌 #eXit

I am so excited about this opportunity to present one of my main work areas for the last 5 years. Interested in social measurement or 'survey demographics', cross-study-comparability (even within one country), and strengthening the cumulative nature of research in the social sciences? Do attend!

Correctiv deckte vor einem Jahr die Pläne der AfD auf, Millionen Menschen auch Deutsche, aus dem Land zu vertreiben, Millionen protestieren. Heute haben die Rechtsextremen "Remigration" offiziell im Parteiprogramm als Ziel festgelegt. Wir müssen wieder zu Millionen auf die Straßen. Und an die Urnen.

Ein Rechtsextremer als Vorsitzender des Ausschusses für Bildung, Jugend und Sport? Das könnte übermorgen Wirklichkeit werden, wenn BSW, SPD und CDU Dr. Dominik Kaufmann (AfD) zum Vorsitzenden wählen. Bitte unterschreibt und leitet die Petition weiter. www.change.org/p/keine-wahl...

Danke, Georg Schwarte. Das war in genau dieser Tonlage ein dringend nötiger Kommentar zur erbärmlichen Syrien-Politik.

Shoutout and huge congratulations to the German PIAAC team at #GESIS who have worked hard on this over the past years 🎉 The German results will be presented in a press conference together with OECD, BMBF, KMK, and GESIS. The report for Germany will be available here at 11 am: www.gesis.org/piaac

"Wir müssen deutlich mehr in die Sprachbildung bei Zugewanderten investieren. Auf allen Ebenen bis hin zur Erwachsenenbildung", sagt die Bildungsforscherin Beatrice Rammstedt. Wäre doch schön, wenn diese datenbasierte Aussage in politische Programmatik umgesetzt würde 😙 www.zeit.de/gesellschaft...

Der nationale Bericht zu PIAAC 2023 ist draußen! www.gesis.org/piaac Deutschland kommt meiner Einschätzung nach mit einem blauen Auge davon. Bei der im internationalen Vergleich enorm hohen sozialen Bildungsungleichheit gibt es - Überraschung! - keine Verbesserung.

Each of my annual reviews starts like this. How do you get to more realistic estimates of how long any academic piece of work takes? And I don't even dive as deep into the literature as I'd like to...

It's shocking how little attention the medical profession has given to women's reproductive health and how much we still don't know. This article is so disturbing. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/h...

The city-state of #Berlin is cutting spending severely to plug a €3bn hole in its budget. Untouchable: the parking permit for residents. It stays at an actually loss-making €10.20 per year. Lost. Absolutely lost.

🚨Finally online: Our paper on barriers to child care enrollment is now available @jeeanews.bsky.social 🤩🤩🤩 I'm over the moon 😁 Thanks to the most amazing team, @lergetporer.bsky.social, @fpeter.bsky.social & @simonwiederhold.bsky.social – what a ride! 🫶 doi.org/10.1093/jeea... #EconSky

Imagine standing next to Bob Dylan at a Nick Cave concert.

I have created a starter pack for scientists and science support staff of GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences. Research focus is on survey methodology, computer-based methods and research data management as well as elections, effects of crises, educational equality, migration and more!

Ich grad so zu meiner Tochter: „Willst Du noch etwas Birne, Helene?“ Heute ist die Kita wg Weiterbildung zu. Ja, wichtig, schön wäre aber wenn sie das in die Schulferien legen könnten. Ich will gar nicht zählen an wie vielen Tagen in Deutschland Schule und/oder Kita zu sind.

Just so you know where I ended up, it's the third place.

I hardly ever took the time recently to check X/Twitter. So, I thought I could do the same on bsky! 😃

I am @[email protected] at #Mastodon! Follow me at . Bye-bye X (yes I know I'm late).

So, while life is getting more expensive, capacity to work is shrinking because personnel shortages in childcare mean we could not bring our firstborn there today. Maybe this will last. I can work 10h/week with my 10 week old, but not with my 5 year old on top. Lockdown: so 2020!

This.

Not finding your way through the education variables in the @ESS_Survey? Probably in part my fault. But help is near: spreadsheet with all national education categories since ESS round 5 and their links to international coding schemes here: @gesis_org

Come to DV19 tomorrow at 9 to hear about database lookups in surveys, mostly for measuring and coding occupation, but also education, some papers resulting from @SERISS_EU #ESRA19!

Matthias Bluemke from @gesis_org presents comparative measure of religiosity/spirituality at #ESRA19 working at a truly global scale (with @jontweetshere) - good for @ValuesStudies and others?

After 2 missed ESRA conferences I’m really happy to be at #ESRA19! Looking forward to difficult choices between sessions, stimulating discussions and meeting colleagues and friends!

Thanks for a wonderful #ESSConf! Many more interesting presentations and conversations over coffee than my small brain could take in. @ESS_Survey @gesis_org

A few more days to submit an abstract to Anthony's and my session on ethnic and cultural diversity at next year's ESS conference in Mannheim:

Sorry to miss #ESRA17. Happy to have a good time in the garden with Greta (10 weeks old), her partner, parents & a good BBQ. Enjoy the conf!

Looking for new staff to improve harmonization between surveys conducted @gesis_org. Let's work together!

New @gesis_org paper on cross-national measure of socio-cultural origins, with Heath @csinuffield & Butt @ESS_Survey

Harmonization Session showing serious processing errors across #3MC surveys - great work, Polish Academy of Sciences! But too few attendees!

Great course "questionnaire design in #3MC surveys", with overview of testing methods. But which 3MC survey has adequate resources for that?

Thanks for an inspiring #ESSConf - and of course the great resource that @ESS_Survey is! Want to sit down and analyze ESS data right now.

submit abstract for session "Measuring social structure in surveys" (@ekharrison +me) at RC332016 before 21/01/16 at
