Any influencers who'll never take a partisan or advocacy stance wanna team up with an expert whose awkward personality, middle-aged suburban mom status and penchant for taking being genuine too far make her a bad candidate for sharing research through short videos? 😬

In my 9 years of chit chat about my work at Pew Research Center, people have consistently been surprised that: - Pew is our benefactors' surname, not an acronym or reference to church seating - Only around 170 of us are on staff (<100 researchers) - As a 501c3, we give all of our work away for free

A majority of U.S. immigrants are concentrated in only a dozen metro areas www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Immigrants from most regions are more likely to hold a Bachelor's degree or higher than native-born adults in the U.S. Nearly 20% of U.S. workers are immigrants, but their numbers are declining.

The U.S. immigrant population grew at a record-breaking pace throughout the past few years but has shrunk since January, marking its first decline since the 1960s. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

@anagantman.bsky.social @jowylie.bsky.social and I are starting to study everyday revenge. Have you ever successfully gotten back at someone after being wronged? We would love to hear about it. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #PsychSciSky #socialpsyc #cognition

I'd like to broaden this to "what really should be common knowledge but isn't" and point out that "life expectancy" is almost always shorthand for LE AT BIRTH. LE extends with age. A modest but literal majority of 70 year olds living in the U.S. today are expected to see 85.

This post immediately brought 3 things to mind: 1. The Census Bureau's mission to count everyone is what enables us to study the size and characteristics of the unauthorized immigrant population.

Soon after we released our report on the religious composition of migrants around the world last year, I had this conversation on BBC Four about our results and how the public discourse on the topic tends to shed more heat than light that's just as relevant today. www.bbc.com/audio/play/m...

Where religiously unaffiliated people are in the majority 🇨🇳 China (90%) 🇨🇿 Czech Republic (73%) 🇰🇵 North Korea (73%) 🇭🇰 Hong Kong (71%) 🇲🇴 Macao (68%) 🇻🇳 Vietnam (68%) 🇯🇵 Japan (57%) 🇳🇱 Netherlands (54%) 🇺🇾 Uruguay (52%) 🇳🇿 New Zealand (51%) www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Well, well, well, if it isn't the religiously unaffiliated constituting about 28% of U.S. adults, just like in every one of the past several years. www.pewresearch.org/methods/fact...

About 1 in 4 U.S. adults worry they or someone close to them could be deported. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/06/27/about-1-in-4-us-adults-worry-they-or-someone-close-to-them-could-be-deported/

Sankey graphs depicting movement of individual voters are my favorite

Our post election survey finds Democrats more pessimistic about their party's future than at any point in the past eight years: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

From the Pew Research Center archives (October 2021): "Republican- and Democratic-led states alike require hundreds of thousands of their citizens – infants, toddlers and schoolchildren, mostly – to be vaccinated against a panoply of diseases." www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
