Very nice to learn that two master’s students in my current department are heading to the PhD program where I got my own!

Is social science always this hard, or is it just when you make your assumptions explicit? Always like this

I miss the good old days of causal inference, when everyone was after positivity and balance, and we believed in exact matches made in heaven. Now everything’s instrumental, synthetic, and instead of finding agreement, we find difference even in differences.

@MishaTeplitskiy I’ll say 1) coming up with new ideas, 2) thinking and understanding, 3) disseminating ideas to others, 4) building a research agenda

Academics trying to automate every step of research with LLMs is raising an interesting question: what do academics actually enjoy about research? Used to be people would say writing, reading, presenting, getting hands dirty in data... 1/2

What a coup for HKUST! @AngYu_soci is an extraordinary quantitative sociologist. His 2025 paper Annals of Applied Statistics paper with Felix Elwert "Nonparametric Causal Decomposition of Group Disparities" is as important a methodological advance in the analysis of social disparities as I have seen in years. A technical masterpiece.

After a seven-month sojourn in industry, I’ll soon start my role as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I’m very excited about this new chapter of my career as a social science methodologist! 🇭🇰

I’ve been elected as the student representative on the ASA (the soc one, not the stats one) Methods Section council (after two failed runs in previous years😂)! I'm looking forward to contributing to the methodology community over the next 2 years in this role!
