Collider bias: the gift that keeps giving.
This is brilliant news for students in the UK - and in the EU. As someone who has benefitted from the programme myself back in 2013/14 (me lo pasé muy bien en Madrid), I'm excited that future generations will be able to, too. #Erasmus #ErasmusGeneration #YouthMobility
🧵 Thread on new research on gender gaps in “don’t know” responses
Some of you will know that my stellar coauthors @hannahbunting.bsky.social @cerifowler.bsky.social @jess-smith.bsky.social @annasanders.bsky.social & I have been working on a large-scale project on “don’t know” responses in surveys.
#IPDLNConference26 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on July 13–16, 2026. FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS for oral, poster, and rapid-fire presentations. Submissions are invited until December 14, 2025. ipdln.org/call-for-pap...
The hike in ASN records may also reflect socioeconomic inequalities which must be addressed at a structural level. Today's education statistics from Scotland show some positive signs, but what remains really crucial to find out is who gets left behind?

How come that journals want high-quality figures but then don't support the submission of vector files? #academicpublishing #AcademicBluesky

Last-minute room change (that my students knew about but I didn't) & no working IT in the room: this is how I ended up free-styling OLS regression diagnostics and R code on the whiteboard today. Luckily, I have amazing students who are such a joy to work with.
But I'm glad it's the weekend now 😅
Congratulations!
Pleased to see this out in print - detailing MAIHDA's desirable statistical properties.
"MAIHDA is especially valuable when inequalities are subtle or data for marginalised intersections are sparse - conditions common in practice"

Big shoutout to our own Emma Russel & @silviab.bsky.social who recently presented their analysis of linked administrative data & the 'Growing Up in Scotland' cohort study at conferences in Fribourg 🇨🇭 & Cardiff 🏴
This work is led by @moragtreanor.bsky.social & is part of @scadrdata.bsky.social 💪
What an honour to see Diane Elson launch her book at the WiSE Centre for Economic Justice @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social tonight. Her seminal work highlights the need to recognise unpaid work as part of the economy, including care, household labour and volunteering.
Graphic highlighting a new blog on the Enquire pages. The image is split into white for the bottom half and a rosy pink for the top half. On top sits an image. The image features colooured geometric shapes creating a rectangle. A dotted line winds it's way from a house shape in the bottom right of the rectangular shape up to a pale pink shape in the top right hand corner, indicative of a school. The image includes the Navigate logo - a heart shape made from a map pin and its shadow. Writing reads New blog care experience + education.
A quote from the Navigating care experience and education blog reads "Removing barriers to learning takes more than one service or one organisation's efforts. Navigate is rooted in a whole-community approach, highlighting existing resources and working alongside partner organisation." A photo accompanies the quote featuring a young man with dark hair wearing a navy blue top, smiling at the camera. He is identified as Robert Doyle, Digital Content Officer with Enquire who is author of the blog.

Living in an unequal society, regardless of individual wealth, can lead to structural changes in the brains of children.
#ScienceatKings #PopulationHealth
Without action families with children will see their disposable income fall over this parliament. Couples with children £750 worse off, lone parents £780.That’s electorally perilous.
Scrapping the 2 child limit and creating a minimum floor in universal credit would offset the fall.

On my way back to Glasgow after attending the Society for Longitudinal and Lifecourse Studies conference in Fribourg. I had a great time connecting with researchers on issues of (educational) inequalities and longitudinal data analysis. Looking forward to the next one in Brussels! #SLLS2025

Thank you, Christine. It has been a long time coming!
Delighted to see this published - this article is based on my PhD @unistrathclyde.bsky.social and started as a humble draft in the @psayoungpol.bsky.social "Paper to Publication" workshop. Maybe also interesting to researchers in @rc34youth.bsky.social @uofgussp.bsky.social & @johnsmithcentre.com.
There is also evidence that non-electoral participation is more strongly predicted by the importance of political issues related to social topics, such as gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and climate change, which ties back to the gendered differences in reported interest levels.
