A monumental effort documenting climate obstruction across sectors, countries & governance levels, by 110 @ClimateSSN scholars
I was chuffed to contribute to one of the chapters (thread)
🚨NEW Python package🚨
city2graph is a Python library that converts datasets like buildings, streets, transport networks, and mobility flows into Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). city2graph.net/ 🧵
If you're an economist and sad about the single-digit R^2 coefficients we tend to get, consider that the standard model of physics accounts for only 5% of the stuff in the universe; the rest is dark matter and dark energy
We at @stanforddoerr are excited to announce a new PhD program in Global Environmental Policy, accepting applications this fall for Sept 2026 start. We're looking for folks with interest in social sciences, data science, and enviro science and who have strong quant training 1/
Can you guess what happened when researchers in Germany gave kids e-readers & access to a large digital library of age-appropriate books?

New Preprint: Rethinking Type S and M Errors. We argue Type S and M errors are not useful when designing or evaluating studies, and present alternative solutions to address the issues they were supposed to address (minimum effect tests, and p-uniform). osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/2p…
The new version of JASP (0.95) containing another significant update to the Meta-Analysis module is out.
You can perform state-of-the-art Bayesian publication bias-adjusted meta-regression in only a few clicks. A couple of additional clicks get you publication-ready figures!
