Heat claims more than 175,000 lives annually in Europe, latest data shows A staggering 175,000 people die from heat-related causes every year in Europe and that figure is set to soar in line with our steadily warming planet. That’s the warning from the UN World Health Organ...

Numbers like these are why I’m in favor of the widespread adoption of AC in Europe

What’s the point of fighting climate change if you’re already dead because of the heat?

Thank you, this is super cool!

My brother co-published a paper @jpube.bsky.social be.bsky.social about the @zeit.de newspaper campaign, "Deutschland spricht".

Contrary-minded conversations can reduce affective polarization, but like-minded conversations can increase ideological polarization.

Genuinely horrifying.

20 million people receive HIV antiviral treatment from the program annually.

Mothers with HIV would transmit it to their infants at birth if not for perinatal antiviral treatment.

This should be resumed as soon as possible. Every day of delay means more lives lost.

This is an important point. Not everyone survives hard times, but if you just give up and decide that the apocalypse is inevitable and nothing can be changed, you become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The future has yet to be written, but we can choose whether to fight for the world we want to create.

We were discussing this topic over lunch in light of European politics - watch the video. now is not the time to give up or just hope for "others to be the check and balance for you" as @shengwuli.bsky.social puts it

@error.reviews is such a great initiative and this should act as a leading example of an authors' response for others to follow. 👏

sounds super interesting, thank you!

Always wanted someone to do exactly that chart! Beautiful, isn't it?

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research

Getting materials out of the lab - Works in Progress Inventing new materials is only the first step. Getting them into mass production and use is just as hard.

Hey #econsky #finsky!

What are the best books/articles about innovation I should read? Especially on the process from invention to market scale.

E.g. I read this Works in Progress article about new materials and how long it takes for them to take off in markets and found it very interesting 🤓

I’ll be teaching a short workshop on reproducible research and version control using Git & GitHub!

Die deutsche Forschungsdateninfrastruktur ist im internationalen Vergleich rückständig. Datenbasierte Analysen sind eine essenzielle Entscheidungsgrundlage für die Politik und die öffentliche Verwaltung. #Forschungsdaten

could you do some simulations to argue what differences you would be able to detect with sufficient power?

My recent paper in Economic Journal:
