📊 New research led by Luisa Fassi (@fassiluisa.bsky.social) and involving Prof Andy Przybylski (@shuhbillskee.bsky.social) of the OII reveals that adolescents with mental health conditions engage with social media differently than their peers.

Looks like such an amazing study!

Measles on the rise again in Europe: time to check your vaccination status Data on measles cases in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) for the last twelve months show a considerable rise in notifications compared to 2023.

What is the source for Europe? Found this: "Between 1 February 2024 and 31 January 2025, a total of 32 265 people were diagnosed with measles. During this period, Romania (27 568), Italy (1 097), Germany (637), Belgium (551) and Austria (542) reported the highest number of cases across the EU/EEA."

Education and the Gender Division of Labor in Japan: Trends in Paid and Unpaid Work From 1991 to 2016 This paper develops a nuanced understanding of how educational attainment is associated with time allocation trends of Japanese men and women by examining the gendered division of labor in Japan betw...

Excited to have my research on Japan's glacial gender revolution out. University-educated couples led modest shifts toward more equitable housework sharing, but overall traditional patterns persist in Japan between 1991 and 2016.

Very much looking forward to discuss the research project I am doing together with Vicki Nash and @nettaweinstein.bsky.social at @oiioxford.bsky.social. This has been fascinating to work on and it is work in progress, would would love any thoughts and comments!

Wow! So cool!

a really important topic! great work @karenlauram.bsky.social and @shuhbillskee.bsky.social .

Please forward to interested scholars.

This is a fascinating hybrid event bringing the perspectives of the scholars from the Global South into the discussions of the Internet, Data, and AI organised by my colleague @jonasvalente.bsky.social @oiioxford.bsky.social. Those joining in-person will enjoy @wadhamcollege.bsky.social

well done @liciniaguttel.bsky.social Laura Liebig, @annajobin.bsky.social, and Christian Katzenbach @oiioxford.bsky.social

Cool paper! Especially interesting to reflect on in comparison to the as UK AI policy announcement.

one can use to check a table of published numbers for mathematical consistency. Possibly in @stuartjritchie.bsky.social brilliant book "Science Fictions", but possibly somewhere else. I do not seem to be able to track down the source. Any suggestions? 2/2

Help! I have a table that compares 2 groups of people clustered into 3 sub-categories each and contains mean and median values on a certain measure and sample sizes for the 2 groups. Just looking at the table the numbers do not look right to me mathematically. I think I read once about a tool 1/2

sounds amazing! And thank you! We just had a lovely German Christmas!

Interesting! Did you publish a discussion/exploration of reasons for machine misalignment? I'd love to read!

I know! I wish more of coverage of AI to[ics really focused on what it does well vs on what it cannot do really, or does badly...

Hope all is well with you guys, happy holidays!

AI Snake Oil From two of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI, what you need to know about AI—and how to defend yourself against bogus AI claims and products

I really like AI Snake Oil book on the subject by @randomwalker.bsky.social press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...
would recommend as a great holiday read too!

Looking forward to listening! I am on the lookout for new good podcasts…

One of the preliminary findings of our @nettaweinstein.bsky.social and Vicki Nash on how young people experience parents' managing their digital lives is that communication is key for young people being on board and supportive of parents efforts. What better way to communicate than a GAME!

For larger families to become more attractive to more families, and especially women, major changes to Japanese workplace culture are necessary.

Can Japan's four-day work week solve its birth rate crisis? The solution requires a fundamental shift in workplace culture, not just more policies, according to an analyst.

Was interested to hear about Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "plans to introduce a four-day workweek to ease the burden on families," but also ultimately skeptical that this will solve the issue of declining birth rates.

It was great to have an opportunity to discuss our latest research with Prof Vicki Nash on this podcast! @oiioxford.bsky.social This research is based on conversations with 16-17 year olds in the UK who shared with us how they feel about parental digital mediation of their lives.

Love having not only many of my wonderful colleagues on Bluesky but now also OII as an institution!
