📝 Excited to share my new publication with @ezagheni.bsky.social and Helga de Valk in @pnas.org where we look at gravity-type models for migration prediction. Our results suggest that ignoring gender makes these models less reliable 🌐👫 ⬇️

Y cuando estaba la pandemia y yo recien llegado caminaba el barrio y los alrededores porque era lo único que se podía hacer en el toque de queda en las horas que te dejaban salir a la calle

Y la ministra si lo mejor que tiene para decir es que un tipo que tiene una operación de cráneo con pérdida de masa encefálica gracias al accionar policial se lo merece por kirchnerista, que tenga la dignidad de renunciar y disfrutar lo robado así al menos no la vemos nunca más

I’ve struggled to find the right words following Musk/Trump’s decision to end the Demographic and Health Surveys Program (the OG DHS). While nothing is inevitable, there is no denying this is a huge blow personally, professionally and for the world.

What’s happening to science in the US is devastating, and has implications across the world. The Demographic and Health Surveys programme has reportedly been terminated

Philip N Cohen @philipncohen.com · Feb 25

War on Science update: DHS does surveys around the world. It's a key part of how we understand the world. Web of Science has 3501 items that mention DHS in the metadata; currently averaging about 350 per year. The last contract to run it was about $57 million per year. dhsprogram.com/Who-We-Are/N...

Word is getting out that the Demographic and Health Surveys Program has been terminated by the Trump regime. If true, this is a devastating blow for the field of global health.

El saludo importa poco para mí, pero me parece más evidente en cosas como bancar abiertamente a AfD que hasta Marine Le Pen y Salvini se distanciaron de ellos porque eran bastante nazis

As a principal investigator on large public data collection projects (like PSID), I can clearly say that using standard language to describe publicly available data is not only *NOT* plagiarism, it is, in fact, best practice to ensure rigorous reproducible science.

Here is Rufo's absolute BS, with Carlson and Cross's text. She cites them 20 words later. The "minor word substitutions" are not covering her tracks, they are science proceeding. The papers are on different topics. Cross used methods they described, with citation. We need rules that allow this. /2
