I saw this book on another post - and so went and found a copy at a 2nd hand book shop…
Looking forward to lunches at work with a cup of tea and maybe a couple of rainy Sundays at home…

In a lot of social science research, small, random factors are reported as having large effects on social and political attitudes and behavior (social priming, hormonal levels,parental socioeconomic status, weather, ...). Studies have claimed to find large effects from these and other inputs.

The results show that it would be extremely unlikely to have all these large effects coexisting—they would have to almost exactly cancel each other out.

New #introduction: I’m the Mark Andrews Fellow in Book Science at OBNS (Old Books New Science) Lab, University of Toronto, and a #MedievalManuscripts scholar and cataloguer. My research mainly focuses on later #medieval European #manuscripts with an emphasis on scientific and #quantitative methods, #materiality, and provenance studies.

Julie #Billaud: Administrative techniques devised to engage parties to a conflict "are changing as a result of external sources of pressure for ‘evidence-based programming’, turning personalised case-based monitoring into a new form of ‘audit culture’ based on statistical evidence. Paradoxically, relying on numbers to realise the utopia of ‘humanising war’ makes the very ‘humans’ who are supposed to benefit from it disappear from view."

It’s funny how most companies waaaaaayyy overvalue a narrow set of #quantitative #metrics to the exclusion of every other form of knowledge, and yet success for a publicly-traded company is based on…#shareholder vibes?

An #introduction:

I specialize in #quantitative #imageAnalysis, mostly applied to #microscopy, and mostly in #biomedical applications.

I’ve been doing this for 25+ years. I used to have a tenured university position, and moved to industry about 7 years ago. Industry is just like academia, but with fewer students, fewer grants, and more secrecy.

Check out http://diplib.org

I love good #music, good #food, and building models (shoutout to #Lego, #MetalEarth and #UGears).

#introduction and my first own #toot:

I'm a social scientist interested in #attitudes toward #immigration & #refugees, effects of #media and #PolComm, using #quantitative, #TextAsData & #computational methods. For more check: https://czymara.com/research

Currently, I am a #postoc at U #TelAviv & GoetheU #Frankfurt.

I'm mostly here to check new #research and recent developments in #academia, but also up for cheeky memes and bad puns.

Re-#Introduction after moving to https://datasci.social

We are NERDS (NEtwoRks, Data, and Society), at #ITU #Copenhagen, researching #NetworkScience and #DataScience applications to #social systems. We are #interdisciplinary researchers who focus on #quantitative #research in #ComputationalSocialScience, #SocialNetworks and #dynamics, #MultiplexNetworks, #Sustainability, #Mobility, #DataViz, and #ComplexSystems.

We are also allergic to #bullying

#introduction
Hi, I am a #quantitative #ecologist. I plan to use to keep track of cool research, stumble upon new #biology or #math, and every now and then find obscure modelling references from the 80s. I care about doing my analyses slow, reproducible research and fair publishing.

I am especially interested in #bioticinteractions, #demography, and the interplay between them. And increasingly in #stats techniques to infer robust #biodiversity trends.

#introduction I'm a Post-doc working on mathematical and statistical model of malaria and COVID-19. I was actually trained as field marine ecologist, and only started picking up on my quantitative skills during my PhD in 2016, in which I drifted towards #infectious disease. Nevertheless, I love both #epidemiology and #ecology word, and hope to contribute to both domains using my #computational and #quantitative skills. I am #rstats enthusiast, but also speak #python and #cpp if I have to

Hello sciences.social - here's my #introduction #introductions

I'm a professor in the #Sociology of #Architecture at the #Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL.

I'm researching the relationship between buildings and people with an interest in #layout, #spatialdesign and #evidenceBasedDesign. My main expertise is in #offices, #hospitals and #schools.
I use both #qualitative and #quantitative methods focusing on #observation, #spacesyntax and #SocialNetworkAnalysis

I didn't do an #introduction post when I joined scholar.social 2.5 years ago! I'm a sociologist in #California. I teach & research about #movements, #inequality, #politics, #trust, #anarchism, and others. Most of my work is #quantitative, but not all. I write journal articles & other stuff, too.

I have a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/dmwilliamsSOC), but would love if we all could migrate away from such corporate-run systems. Until then, I've been posting here things about stuff I read and write.
