Glad to see more demographers pushing back against the low fertility panic and in non-demographic outlets, where they might reach broader audiences. 1/ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
indeed.
We Need To Fix Our Hearts
My 5 year old told us proudly and brightly at dinner how he comforted a scared first grader during a lockdown at school by explaining all the ways he could tell that *this* lockdown was a drill.
Great!
People magazine continues delivering news
If the maximum likelihood estimate of "marriage will suck completely" goes up, women's interest in marriage goes down.
Timber man? Not sure.
My grandpas were a pastry chef and a lumber man.
Love this question ❤️
It’s weird that people don’t talk about the ubiquitous giant lemons there more.
❤️👏✊
some of it is just telling on yourselves, I guess
If you wanna argue that LLMs are good for research, be like Knuth and show it. Everything else is trolling.
Truly so scary.
irreducible!
"Imminent hazard to the public health"
Also, I don't think I'd read that Hogan et al that you link to. They make a very interesting observation about changing seasonality of births after the 1946 spike, which Healey's visualization nicely shows. The social and the biological - so complex in their interactions!
oh man, love this!
(Though pretty dicey to place Trump's June 1946 birthday in the baby boom - that would have been a conception the month of V-J day. Not really a boom yet at that point.)
Group threat is just where boomers get increasingly insular as more younger people are born.
as a demographer, thank you!
NIH is reworking social and behavioral study sections including *eliminating SSPA and SSPB*. There will be one new study section Population Dynamics and Health.
Bad news since SSP originally received so many applications, they needed 2 difft study sections to process them.
:( #demography
I think Elizabeth presents demography in its best light in her work by doing cool demography, FWIW. :)
Some stuff is hard to stop doing! That might make doing it bad for some people in some ways, but that does not mean that the thing is bad! Novels are amazing! Sometimes I learn so much from one, enriching my life so deeply. Some of them are dumb AF. Same with internet stuff.
Not joking: Reading novels is maybe even more hazardous to me than endless scrolling on my phone. I regularly keep reading well past when I know I should put the book away and go to sleep. I regularly regret reading too late when I'm groggy and miserable the next day.
The circular economic logic of neoliberalism is like a zombie ouroboros, mindlessly gnawing at its own legs until it has nothing left to stand on
(which is starting now, in so many ways)
If you hated the “bean counting“ era of the academy, just wait for the “we put sawdust in the bread” era.
And you’ve lost the right to assert their validity for sure!
