Database containing more than 500 expert assessments of migration scenarios between MENA countries and Europe. Details in this data descriptor authored by myself and @_RafCosta, published in @ScientificData: rdcu.be/dmAkA. #research #Migration

The Ad-Hoc Expert Committee, comprising some of the world’s best linguists and data scientists, has begun work to enhance UNESCO's 🌎World Atlas of Languages. #WAL #VigdisInternationalcentre @ILDecade

📢 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 👇Follow the thread

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.

Big thank to all who participated!

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. journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

📢Publication alert! Check out the latest @QuantMig report by @michaelboiss @_RafCosta & @ValkHelga It presents results from a survey carried out among experts on future scenarios likely to impact migration from the Middle East and North Africa to 🇪🇺. 🔗quantmig.eu/res/files/Quan…

@MLBONFOX Montreal

If MLB were to expand, which city should get a team?

@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.

@michaelboiss Hi Michael, sorry, I forgot to tag you🙈It was an attempt to plot the results from the NIDI expert survey, the numbers might not be exact though.

I spent far too much time and tried too many graphs and drawings (🙈) until I figured out the interaction between drivers of migration can be plotted using the circular plots 🤓 #notonlyforflows #RStats #AcademicTwitter #migration

@ikashnitsky @FleuryPayeur It's just survival analysis. Don't know specific applications in engineering, but there is this paper: nature.com/articles/s4159…

@michaelboiss @FleuryPayeur Thanks. My cursory search didn't bring me to this literature. Do you maybe know any examples otoh?

(caution: possible survivorship bias) Today I did the mandatory technical inspection of my car, first time ever for me in 🇩🇰 The guy showed me coffee machine, took the keys, and drove away for ~1/2 hour. Then he came back and said "All fine. Of course, Toyota". That was it >>>

@FleuryPayeur @ikashnitsky Look up reliability engineering!

@ikashnitsky Life table analysis for consumer goods? Must be quite common no?

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. 💡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🪵 Team work with @RmnHoffmann, @pppichler and Helga Weisz (@PIK_Climate @IIASAVienna @WICVienna @OeAW)

Was a while ago but I just noticed the link didn't work. Here it is again: read.dukeupress.edu/demography/art…

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. read-dukeupress-edu.proxy-ub.rug.nl/demography/art…

@MJBijlsma Sounds fair, thanks!

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"?
