What a rabbit hole that you are sending me into. So interesting to read. The section on "Regression in Contemporary Work" is a great overview over some of the big methodological debates we have been having over the past decade.

Colleagues: What’s your favorite, accessible resource (reading, video, slide deck) to convince students that regression on observational data—even with many controls—is not often causal. (Quasi-)experimental designs are preferred for causal inference.

We started @metaror.bsky.social MetaROR.org in part because of the absence of a journal that publishes metascience. But rather than a traditional journal, as metascientists we wanted to explore the next frontier - Publish, Review, Curate.

JUST OUT: "Boundaries and Cleavages: Elements of a Cultural Sociology of Political Divides."

OA: direct.mit.edu/ecps/article...

It develops what the cultural sociology of group formation can contribute to research on political cleavages.

(And why "Somewheres vs Anywheres" really doesn't cut it.)

Twitter revolutionised my career.

I learnt a huge amount about causal inference through #EpiTwitter.

And I met many amazing people who I've since had the joy of working with (Eg @epiellie.bsky.social, @epidbydesign.bsky.social, @robertwplatt.bsky.social, @jlrohmann.bsky.social, etc etc)

7 years ago Tim Cook told the European Parliament:

“We're responsible for recognizing that the devices we make and platforms we build have real…lasting…even permanent effects on individuals and communities who use them

We must never stop asking ourselves What kind of world do we want to live in?"

🚨 New publication out @jeppjournal.bsky.social w/ Katrin Praprotnik @luanarusso.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social

We show that coalition signals from the mainstream right to the radical right shift, rather than reduce, existing political divisions.

🤝 @jochemvanagt.bsky.social, Katrin Praprotnik, @luanarusso.bsky.social, and @markuswagner.bsky.social show that when the mainstream right signals openness to govern with the far right, it eases tensions on the right but amplifies antipathy on the left 👇

Still confused about EPSA vs. EPSS? Which conference should you go to? Here is a link to clarify things: epssnet.org/uncategorize... TL;DR: "EPSA" community will be in Belfast. Same community, new organisation, bigger mission; slightly new name; and a very different foundation @epssnet.bsky.social
