Terrible.

As some of you guessed, the two models are statistically indistinguishable. The answer is Model 1, but there was no way to tell from the data. I was very surprised when I first saw this. Here we show that this confounding of heterogeneity and reinforcement is general: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

By opposing the 2% minimum wealth tax on billionaires, the French Senate has revealed just how out of touch it is with the issues of our time.

Did Model 1 or Model 2 generate these sequences? Why?

Model 1: Pólya urn, starting with one black and one red ball. 1 (0) stands for black (red).

Model 2: Empty probit model, random intercepts with mean 0, ICC = 1/2.

A perfectly organized RC28, brilliant presentations, and sunny Milan vibes ☀️

As always, truly stimulating and fun to be with the CLIC crew (and several CLICers are missing from the pic!)

Congrats Maël!

Not this time but I have another paper in which I do!

I was happy to present my work at @isa-rc28.bsky.social meeting in Milan

« La liberté académique américaine en danger : un enjeu mondial », merci à @sorbonne-universite.fr pour cet entretien qui revient sur l'offensive de l'administration Trump contre la communauté scientifique www.sorbonne-universite.fr/actualites/l...

There are days in life that shake you.

I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University
& academic career... 1/🧵

"But these are pretexts. Universities are independent centers of ideas and often prominent centers of dissent. Autocrats are allergic to sources of dissent, so they almost invariably seek to silence, weaken, or control them."

"Yesterday I wrote a piece for the Guardian about my decision to step down as an Associate Editor at the Royal Society’s journal Open Science. The response has been overwhelming."

Can mothers leverage the structural resources of their occupation like autonomy to balance motherhood and work, especially in the absence paid leave?

My latest article in the Journal of Marriage and Family suggests so.

Congrats 👏👏👏

Postdocs and PhD students hit hard by Trump’s crackdown on science As US federal grants remain frozen and budget cuts loom, anxiety and fear grip early-career researchers.

"These scientists are especially vulnerable: graduate students, postdocs and scientists who are just starting their own laboratories (...) Some are considering changing jobs, leaving the country, or abandoning research altogether." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

(I’m of course not asking to raise PhD fees—I’m asking to lower postdoc fees)

🚨 Serious question: Why do postdocs pay 80% more than PhD students for a conference? 🤔 @isa-rc28.bsky.social

Are we really assuming their budget is 80% higher? (If so, please tell me where—I’ll apply immediately! 😅)

Jeudi, l’Assemblée nationale examine la proposition de loi, déjà votée en commission, créant un impôt minimum égal à 2 % du patrimoine pour les foyers fiscaux possédant plus de 100 millions d’€

L’adoption est à portée de main, mais il reste un dernier chausse-trape à éviter 🧵
