New APSR sure to spark discussion argues:

Confederate monuments actually reduced violence against Black people historically & that their recent removals have increased anti-Black hate crimes

Monuments "act as a substitute for performative violence in constructing a white supremacist social order"

Synthetic non-parametric UKB phenotypes straight from an R package. It pulls all the required summary data from the UKB website.. Somewhat tempted to go totally overboad and have it simulate synthetic genomes, with plausible SNP h2's and "real" top hits (which i'd pull from GWAS cat & nealelab)..

A study of over 500,000 Brits and Australians finds that people who never have sex are more educated, less likely to use alcohol and smoke, more nervous, lonelier, and unhappier. Regions with high income inequality had more sexless residents. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Phenotypic associations of sexlessness with health, psychological, and behavioral outcomes.

🚨 The Economist has been telling you for years that polygamy causes civil war by locking men out of marriage. A new article with @rebeccasear.bsky.social and @anthrolog.bsky.social explains that the demography of marriage markets doesn't actually work that way. 🧵

Any submission rule we make will be ingested by LLMs and used to make AI slop submissions that comply. However, it is helpful for us when authors accidentally leave in the ChatGPT comments.

Please take such work elsewhere.

📢 New OA Paper

Does education similarly foster reports of discrimination for women and ethno-racial minorities?

@chlolv.bsky.social and co-authors try to answer this question, extending previous findings on the integration paradox with French survey data.

Are you a social scientist that wants to learn R?

Then, you may find my course "R for Social Scientists" very useful!

I designed this course to give social scientists all that is necessary to start using R in their everyday work.

In November 2022 I started my Ph.D. at the University of Utrecht. 📃 Today, my first paper is available on the website of the European Sociological Review (url.td/Q7kIJ). I love this paper and hope you will too.
