This was a terrific event and I was happy to share the many innovations that SRC has made in the last year. We are tackling the issue of lower response rates in surveys with our Future of Surveys initiatives
We love celebrating SRC's milestones! 🎉 Thanks for sharing a great talk today.

I think I’m finally getting a strategy for BlueSky. I miss the science conversations and sharing of interesting papers that I had on the other site. I’ve been using LinkedIn more for that lately. Now I’m using Lists to separate out those I follow for science commentary.

I often tell my students that I can't even think about development without thinking about how it changes across time. Being a longitudinal researchers is part of my identity as a scientist, because it is the way I see the world and ask scientific questions, not because it is a method.
What is the 'longitudinal community' & do you consider yourself part of it?
I use longitudinal data when required to answer a research question. But I don't identity myself as someone who does 'longitudinal studies' or 'longitudinal research'. It sounds more like a study design than a discipline.

Want to learn more about "living" meta-analysis? Have a listen to this episode (from about the 22 min mark) or read this recent preprint osf.io/preprints/ps...
195: Living meta-analysis everythinghertz.com/195
We discuss how living meta‑analyses can cut research waste and keep evidence current. We also chat about how using synthetic research participants is a terrible idea and what researchers *really* mean when they call a study "recent".
