@ConsensusGurus Perhaps the timing was influenced by the CFO having restricted shares vesting on 31 May; she converted them to common and sold enough to cover tax liability: https://t.co/XXdp7Y4N3V

Then again, these researchers note greatest faith declines do occur between ages 16 & 25...apparently more so among those not at university.

[Jim McGee @McGeeResearch]

This trend is fascinating; counters the standard narrative that young people abandon faith at (because of) university.

Does the impact of education on being a none look different based on age?

It clearly does.

For Boomers - more education leads to a higher rate of nones.

For Millennials - it's the exact opposite. The more highly educated are much *less* likely to be nones.

On international #IndigenousPeoples day, I acknowledge the Mouache band of the Southern Ute people as longtime custodians of the land on which I reside.

@Angela_Stanford Way late on this reply, Angela, and not sure if the most recent, but Zhang Weiwei did it in Thailand in 2019. https://t.co/WCjuMb2Grq

@edstetzer My guess--Category: Cities; Answer: Novosibirsk, Russia's third-largest city, is located where the Trans-Siberian railroad crosses this.

High schooler @AviSchiffmann 's Covid data site is among the most useful, with easy sorts on case & death rates per million. Now, 4 of top 6 case rates are in Middle East; 5 of top 7 death rates are in South America. https://t.co/sA0QXzr6GA

@africaCDC issues report on Covid-19 behaviors, attitudes & beliefs across all regions of Africa. Mobility reduction in most countries is impressive. https://t.co/P9YaIbgIgz

@tomaspueyo has helped me make sense of Covid19. New column out today. https://t.co/Two4XviHBw
Highlight is Chart 7 on the %-positive testing rate as a sign of readiness for re-opening. In months to come, we'll see many more network-analysis charts like those late in the post.

@GeoPoll poll reveals good public knowledge of coronavirus symptoms in West Africa, East Africa & Southern Africa. https://t.co/Olj72tibhZ

[Jim McGee @McGeeResearch]

Conducting representative surveys in Africa is possible.

[GeoPoll @GeoPoll]

A nationally representative sample is one that has a strong enough similarity to the population of the country being studied that results will be valid. Building such a sample is an intricate process, which we cover here: https://t.co/0UsXh9rKC3 #research #data

Surprised me to see the proportion of East Africans using mobile money for PayTV and gambling.

[George Murage™ @JuuChini]

What are Africans using Mobile Money for? Here are the top purchases from some African countries. Data from @GeoPoll

Glad to hear @OliviaWilk speak for @accordnetwork on Evidence in Religion and Development Research. Her org suggests that faith-based orgs begin here in collecting and using evidence: https://t.co/gwuMaGCqSm

Calvin Edwards will lead a pre-conf workshop on evaluating ministry impact this month at @IWMC2019: https://t.co/3kxIELDZMy. He also speaks twice in the leadership track.

[Jim McGee @McGeeResearch]

Having worked to measure "fruitful practices," I think important to study both "proven practices" and "promising practices"--without the latter you only get conventional wisdom. Here's @RANDCorporation's criteria distinguishing the two: https://t.co/amxwICJFoS

Have you got a copy of @Acumen's Lean Data Field Guide? Great resource.

Two good articles this week using viz/analysis of data outliers.
