New study from Drs. Thomeer and Wolfe with PhD student Ferguson (along with OSU faculty Dr. Reczek and PhD student Cao) in Journals of Gerontology on how early life factors matter for the association between childbearing histories and midlife cognition https://t.co/s65lykTxuw
🔔 Why do some highly educated, gender egalitarian Chinese women still exclusively prefer sons? Check out my new paper in @JMF_NCFR
I show how the lived experience of gender injustice led some to see son preference as “a mother’s duty” of wanting the best for their children.
The most fun part of interdisc. groups lies in diverse approaches to the same question. It's also exciting to see sociologists cite cosmology: We know little about what happens to an individual, just like much of our universe is dark matter—something we can barely observe. #SICSS
This semester I've been teaching "Economic Inequality and Growth" at @UCBerkeley. This is a thread with some of my favorite graphs.
First, the headline everyone's-seen-it graph: falling then rising income inequality in Anglophone countries.
My dear friend Chelsea ( @Xueqian_Chen ) just published this amazing paper on gendered division of housework in China.

I often say to look at South Korea as a potential warning of what can happen to the politics of gender. But it’s global. Great piece from @jburnmurdoch citing the brilliant @_alice_evans & data from @dcoxpolls@Gallup & others

Professor Doug Downey is lead author of a study conducted with doctoral student Rui Cao suggesting teens from larger families have poorer mental health than those with fewer siblings. Downey said the overall findings fit with “resource dilution.” @osusoc

A free tip on how to manage parent-child relationships – summon the strength that you have when you are trying to make a case for your research to reviewers. You're very welcome.
A call w/ Mom. She said, "Why I feel my argument's so solid but after talking to you I feel what I was thinking actually makes little sense and now I'm so convinced by you?" I went, yay Mom you paid for my college & now you see the return is true, although it gets you sometimes.

Issues you consider important are getting more attention; the scholarship you admire is reaching a wider audience, beyond social sciences. Why not cheer? 🥳👏
Why do women still earn less than men?
Hear 2023 economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin explain the answer to this question. Goldin was awarded the prize for advancing our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes.

I wrote a Stata command that plots distributions of variables after absorbing variance from fixed effects (or controls variables). Here are examples.

"Studies with null results are perceived to be less publishable, of lower quality, less important and less precisely estimated than studies with large and statistically significant results, even when holding constant all other study features."
I love this paper #TeamPreciseNulls
A discussion with Steven Bao on students' homework directed us to this paper which elucidates why using median and mean to decide skewness can lead to a wrong conclusion.
A great-to-know, perhaps must-know, for all Stats teachers. BTW, the author von Hippel is an OSU Soc alumni.
Check out my newest article with @jaymes_pyne at @SF_Journal! It shows how elementary school teachers begin evaluating students in increasingly gendered and racialized ways from kindergarten through 5th grade.
