Vergleiche von COVID und AIDS werden oft sehr populistisch verwendet oder pauschal als "Fear monging" delegitimiert. Dieser Review bietet hingegen eine hervorragende, fundierte Annäherung. V.a. den kurzen sozialpolitischen Abriss finde ich sehr gelungen und gut platziert. 1/

Important research by our very own @alexbryson.bsky.social www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/se...

Calling it a novel contribution bc "mildly different from three others but messier" was too long to fit the abstract

Quite amazed by the articles that @sociologicalsci.bsky.social puts out on a regular basis -- this one here by Lewis Anderson: imaginative, bold, well-informed, an incredible eye for detail, this will really be moving the field forward doi.org/10.15195/v12...

Sociology instructors, take note: classic sociological theory makes an appearance on the menswear guy's account! (Actually, many of his posts have sociological content.)

Das ist echt kein Witz: Viele Frauen verzichten auf Kinder, weil die Aufwände der Elternschaft ungleich verteilt sind. Nach diesem Artikel müssten aber nicht die Männer mehr übernehmen, sondern die Frauen einsehen, dass sein höheres Gehalt doch auch was wert ist 😂 www.faz.net/aktuell/wirt...

Good to see growing support for abduction or 'inference to the best explanation', recently by Spirling and Stewart in @thejop.bsky.social. This is... www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10....

Very excited that our paper (joint with Jarkko Harju and ‪@schoefer.bsky.social‬) on "Voice at Work" is published in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics. We study what happened when workers in Finnish firms got a right to worker voice on the corporate board. 👇

🚨 Are young women becoming more left-wing & young men more right-wing? We analyzed 32 European countries (1990–2023). 📊 Some show growing gaps—others don’t. 📊 Gaps tend to be bigger where gender equality is higher. w/ @hudde.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

I’ve seen a few of David’s prints on the interwebs but I’m not familiar with him at all. His YouTube channel is an absolute delight of process videos. If you need a diversionary rabbit hole 🐇 🕳️ today.. this is a very good one.

Pro tip: when explaining the NIH cuts to friends and family, use "research infrastructure" rather than "indirect costs" or, godforbid, "overhead." DOGE just slashed the budget for research infrastructure. It's accurate and it drives home that the fight is over jobs and facilities, not "waste."

What is VALIDITY? My coauthor philosopher @eschwitz.bsky.social explains it is a property of claims. In the process, he previews our forthcoming paper on the subject. Hint it is NOT just internal validity, and one gets into trouble assuming it is. schwitzsplinters.blogspot.com/2025/02/a-ta...

Maelstrom, 2016. Not sure I can handle yet another social media platform, but feel I ought to give this a go since the others seem to be becoming ever more amoral. Starting with an old favourite.

What does space have to do with dropouts rates? My new article says: a lot! Between 2005 and 2020, the no. of trainees dropping out of the dual training system rose steadily. The trend has a regional component. See the article (🇩🇪) for more details: www.iab-forum.de/ausbildungsa... #dualeausbildung

Übrigens gabs bei mir im Parteivorstand eine Regel: wenn was schief läuft, schiebt man nicht die Mitarbeiter vor. Und wenn Mitarbeiter angegriffen werden, stellt man sich davor. Hat was mit Anstand und guter Führung zu tun.

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of an outstanding sociologist and a vital contributor to SOFI’s success. Professor Emeritus Walter Korpi passed away on November 19, at the age of 90.

“We find an additional $1 spent auditing taxpayers above the 90th income percentile yields more than $12 in revenue, while audits of below-median income taxpayers yield $5.”
