I just ran my first CNA (Coincidence analysis)! So fun to explore the data this way! Thanks @cna-method.bsky.social and @edmiech.bsky.social and the rest of the CNA crew for a great workshop in Copenhagen.

Looking forward to meeting researchers from around the world at the upcoming 4-day CNA workshop in Copenhagen on 19 May 2025, immediately followed by the 2-day CNA conference on 23 May. This is the only training of its kind in the world and led by Michael Baumgartner.

You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive.

You do not need a degree to visit an archive.

There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors.

If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you.

It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.

You can also just Google coincidence analysis and top two search results will be the overview methodology article published in Implementation Science and the CNA website maintained by the University of Bergen which lists all 100+ CNA-related papers in peer-reviewed literature, R software, news, etc.

Calling all implementation scientists: if you would like a method to identify what makes a difference, for whom, and under what conditions (including the ability to model the influence of local context), check out Coincidence Analysis. The D& I conference next week features multiple CNA studies.

One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

Why yes we did capture the annular eclipse. Photographed from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, by my husband Jeff Kanipe with a 600mm lens and solar filter.

A perfect light golden ring (the Sun nearly completely eclipsed by the Moon) on a black background.

My assistant Beike volunteered to recreate a medieval scene, for science.

Only took a second and she received massive funding (aka treats) for her participation in this research project.

In this short podcast (5 minutes long), Dr. Deborah Cragun — the author of a just-published article in the journal Genetics In Medicine — does an excellent job describing how coincidence analysis contributed unique value to a qualitative, interview-based study. www.gimjournal.org/audio-do/sep...
