@SeaFury is looking for a job. Please boost this post for her. Thank you.

“Looking for a job. My dream job is in #quantitative #research. I am #specialised in climate data and #buildingscience, especially #mould and #condensation #simulation.

If I can’t find a job in this area, I can also #design (#architecture, #graphic, #web and #software) and #teach (architecture, #cad design).

I am also open to leaving my area of expertise for another field of research as I have a lot applicable skills. I am looking for work in #Sydney, #Canberra (woo!) or #Launceston. Will consider #Melbourne if it comes up. Boost me for eyeballs 👀 ❤️ #fediHire #JobSearch #climateData #climate #getfedihired#introduction

"Modern civilisation has a number of extremely delicate and highly interconnected components whose graceful degradation is effectively impossible."

It is "much easier to break things than to build them up. The government administrations of Britain, France and Germany for example, were set up at a time in the nineteenth century when the rising middle classes demanded a properly functioning state[…]. It took perhaps a generation for professional, neutral public services to fully emerge."

"Forty years of globalised neoliberalism have broken our societies, our economies and our political systems, and we no longer have the ability to put them back together."

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…

The piranha problem: Large effects swimming in a small pond.
Christopher Tosh, Philip Greengard, Ben Goodrich, Andrew Gelman, @avehtari, @djhsu

arxiv.org/abs/2105.13445

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.

arXiv.orgThe piranha problem: Large effects swimming in a small pondIn some scientific fields, it is common to have certain variables of interest that are of particular importance and for which there are many studies indicating a relationship with different explanatory variables. In such cases, particularly those where no relationships are known among the explanatory variables, it is worth asking under what conditions it is possible for all such claimed effects to exist simultaneously. This paper addresses this question by reviewing some theorems from multivariate analysis showing that, unless the explanatory variables also have sizable dependencies with each other, it is impossible to have many such large effects. We discuss implications for the replication crisis in social science.

I'm excited to announce a new publication by Lisa Borrelli and myself, out now in Comparative Migration Studies. We challenge our peers to be more precise with how we describe immigrants and their descendants, criticizing in particular the terms 'second generation' and 'migration background'. @sociology #immigration #terminology #quantitative #ethnicity

SpringerOpenTowards a precise and reflexive use of migration-related terminology in quantitative research: criticism and suggestions - Comparative Migration StudiesTo describe migration-related phenomena, we need to reflect on the terminology and choose the most adequate one that allows us to determine whether migration is the (main) cause of a phenomenon, a consequence, or even unrelated and misattributed. We argue that the use of such terminology in quantitative and experimental research is often flawed because of its differentiated adoption in legal, political, or scientific contexts. To illustrate our argument, we focus on two commonly used terms, ‘second generation’ and ‘migration background’ to show that in many situations these terms do not accurately describe the population we study. In part, the terms imply a false homogeneity, focus on deficits, and perpetuate differences regarding national belonging where there may be structural reasons and other aspects, such as social class, that lie at the heart of observed differences. With a particular focus on quantitative research, we use survey evidence and a principled literature search, to show that both researchers and the general population often identify immigrants in terms of ethnic origin — even though the term has its own pitfalls. We conclude that quantitative research should avoid reproducing state-created terminology and instead look beyond the strict field of immigration to consider other systems of classification like gender, ethnicity, language, or social class to reduce the negative attributes ascribed to non-citizens.

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."
