I’m excited to share the launch of my new website: bashofstra.com! This site brings together all my work in a clear, accessible format. The new website is clean, minimal, responsive, and scalable and works seamlessly on desktop and mobile.

📢 New #OpenAccess! Why do some professors appear in the media far more than others? #RH_Heiberger @BasHofstra #S_Unger find both patterns of cumulative advantage & gender inequality, with men more likely to become “short-listed”! ➡️ Read it ungated at: doi.org/10.1093/esr/jc…

Ik werd geinterviewd met een aantal vragen over hoe je duurzame en nuttige netwerken opbouwt als student in een interessant stuk van de @trouw in de introductieweken: trouw.nl/onderwijs/het-…

I built the website with Quarto, R, GitHub, and host it through Netlify. Curious how it’s made? The source code is available on my GitHub repository: github.com/bhofstra/aca-w…. I licensed it through CC-BY 4.0, so feel free to re-use what you need.

📺 RTL EditieNL besteedde aandacht aan en interviewde mij over ons onderzoek naar de kennissenkring van Nederlanders. Met Beate Völker, Rense Corten, en Frank van Tubergen onderzochten we hoe groot deze netwerken en hoe homogeen ze zijn. Vanaf 7:32: rtl.nl/nieuws/uitzend…

De @volkskrant schreef een stuk over ons onderzoek naar sociale contacten en haar scheidslijnen! Onderzoek met Beate Volker, @RenseC, en Frank van Tubergen. volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/een…

You can find the paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… You can find the replication website to the paper here: bhofstra.github.io/netsize_dutch/ (PS: fitting that this gets out while I'm currently at the Sunbelt conference of the International Network of Social Network Analysis!)

Additionally, we find a pretty strong presence for gender and educational homogeneity. These findings have important implications for Dutch social structure as to who is at risk to become socially isolated and as to where social barriers between groups exist.

Thrilled to share my latest publication in the journal Social Networks, together with Beate Völker (lead), Rense Corten, and Frank van Tubergen. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

After a pretty gruesome train ride, finally arrived in Paris for #sunbelt #sunbelt2025. Can’t wait to hear about all the amazing network studies. Shoot me a message if you want to meet or catch up!

On 14 November, a national demonstration against the Dutch Cabinet’s cuts to the higher education budget and against the long-term studying penalty will take place. Radboud Young Academy supports these protests. Read more: ru.nl/radboudya

@MarietjeSchaake @mirkoschaefer Don’t count on the Netherlands…

Talent and academics will leave the US. The EU (Member States) should initiate (tech) talent visas that can be expedited swiftly

‼️"Nature" ‼️featured our research today! We explored "leaving science" by 400,000 men and women scientists from 38 #OECD countries in a #cohort-based and #longitudinal study! Nearly 50% of researchers quit science within a decade, huge study reveals nature.com/articles/d4158…
