New study alert, just out in SER! 🚨 What really drives gendered occupational choices among adolescents? ➡️It might not be workplace characteristics (e.g., salary), but skill requirements. academic.oup.com/ser/advance-... @sasemeeting.bsky.social, @snsf.ch,‬ @unibe.ch ern.bsky.social, @unisg.ch

Happy to be at this great interdisciplinary conference on Gender Issues in Education & the Labor Market organized by @benitacombet.bsky.social in Zurich. Here @julehauf.bsky.social from @clic.bsky.social presenting fresh experimental results on how to increase men's interest in nursing

Not only acting as gatekeepers for scientific funding at NIH, NSF etc, but now trying to gate keep the entire scientific process.

This great piece by @badnewshagen.bsky.social really gets into the sexism, racism, and eugenics that make up the very fabric of US pronatalist efforts. www.npr.org/2025/04/25/n...

Ever wondered whether women really hate programming that much or whether they just have such a huge preference for helping? Join, I’m presenting new work!

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself." Earlier that day:

In a new IZA WP (▶️ docs.iza.org/dp17411.pdf), @rlandersoe.bsky.social and I show that intergenerational income mobility and its underlying mechanisms vary strongly across parents’ income. We present 3 main findings: 1/4 #EconSky #SocSky

Neue Studie: Atlantikströmung "auf Kippkurs". Sie verleiht den jüngsten Berichten noch mehr Gewicht, die starke Warnungen formuliert haben, wie der OECD Climate Tipping Points Report 2022 und der Global Tipping Points Report 2023. scilogs.spektrum.de/klimalounge/...

Probably the most chilling paper I read in 2023, yet essential reading for all of us. academic.oup.com/qje/advance-... #EconSky 📉📈

New blog on the problem of the continued proliferation of eugenic ideology in academia, including "national IQ" data. (Part of) the solution is to prioritise research integrity, rather than the acquiring of grants, papers & profit (which current academic structures incentivise)

I’m very happy to announce that I won the @snsf-ch.bsky.social Starting Grant! Starting in 2025, I’ll set up an employer-employee panel for Switzerland at @sociology-uzh.bsky.social. If you’re interested in a collaboration, send me a mail!

"The Economics Profession's Socioeconomic Diversity Problem" w/ Robert Schultz is now out in the JEP Here's the paper: pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/... and the Twitter thread from Mar 2022 (aka before I was on Bsky - sorry!) twitter.com/annastansbur...

I could not be less surprised by this. I am a data point. I've watched so many (and I mean TOO MANY) of my women colleagues experience the same. Women networks in academia are so fragile because there's never a sense of security or permanence. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Women who perceive incident as unambiguously discrimination more likely to say they'd report it. Those who see incident as ambiguous more likely to say they'd lean in, change own behav. One reason why subtle discrim so hard to root out? Doering ^2 & Tilcsik sociologicalscience.com/articles-v10...

Ich finde diese Grafik aus unserem Bericht zur Gleichstellung in Ost und West besonders eindrucksvoll, weil sie zeigt, dass in Haushalten beider Landesteile wirklich unterschiedliche Rollenmodelle gelebt werden. Das modernisierte male breadwinner model ist vor allem ein westdeutsches Phänomen.

New Paper 🔔 We look at the contrasting meanings of merit that elites in the 🇬🇧 and 🇩🇰 deploy when justifying their success. Co-authored with @aaronsreeves @chellersgaard @antongrau 🧵 below… academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

As someone who loves to cook (but often doesn‘t find the time 😔), this is super interesting!

Motivation moderates gender differences in navigation performance.

Hey Stata folks! Want to visually present your regression results? I made a guide. It covers key aesthetics, combining results from multiple models, working w/ logit models, & more. Oh, and I provide all the code. Comments/feedback welcome! drive.google.com/drive/folder...
