📢 We are excited to announce a new @QuantMig database!

Around a year ago, @_RafCosta, @michaelboiss & @ValkHelga created and run a survey on the future of migration between Europe and the Middle East & North Africa.

The data can now be downloaded at Zenodo

This is an ambitious project that will allow knowing more about the current and future state of the world’s endangered languages. It was designed by myself and Harald Hammarström and it is supported by the Wenner-Gren foundation.

I am late to announce that this week I officially started working at the Department of Linguistics and Philology of the University of Uppsala on a new postdoctoral project called “Estimates of speaker numbers and dormancy year for the world's endangered languages”.

One can have reservations about the Frontiers journals but I do appreciate their transparency. I am not sure why but am I positively surprised that Prof. Wolfgang Lutz was a reviewer for this paper.

[Michaël Boissonneault @michaelboiss]

Big thank to all who participated!

[Michaël Boissonneault @michaelboiss]

We asked migration scholars how migration to Europe might change under different social and environmental scenarios. How the situation will develop in sending countries will generally matter more than in Europe. New study by myself & Petra de Jong. https://t.co/pnRClLCSdL

@dil_yildiz No worries, it wasn't meant that way! The categories on the plot just looked very familiar to me. It is cool to see your work live on.

Chilean indigenous language Yamana presumably just became dormant. https://t.co/enBYs3Y0rk

@ikashnitsky @FleuryPayeur It's just survival analysis. Don't know specific applications in engineering, but there is this paper: https://t.co/hpSQBOeQGI

@FleuryPayeur @ikashnitsky Look up reliability engineering!

1/10 Very happy to share my first PhD paper in @naturesustainab on the relationship between modern energy access and fertility transition in 44 countries over 26 years. 💡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🪵

New paper by myself and Joop de Beer in which we show that levels of childlessness can decrease as marriage becomes less popular and union histories more complex. Levels increasingly depend on childbearing decisions among cohabiting couples.

@MJBijlsma Sounds fair, thanks!

[Michaël Boissonneault @michaelboiss]

In a paper I write that "fertility is biologically constrained among women". What trans-inclusive/gender-inclusive note could I add regarding the use of the term "women" here? "Refers to persons of female biological sex"?
