Happy to see this EXCELLENT paper of @MatthewBillet1 's out in the world! osf.io/preprints/psya…

A grad school office mate summed me up once by saying, "Stephanie, you are the embodiment of calling a spade a spade." She did not mean it as a compliment.

"Influencers are central to this ambient news model. The creators who have the most impact on shaping public understanding of policy, science, and social or political issues today are often not political commentators or subject-matter experts at all." carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

Any influencers who'll never take a partisan or advocacy stance wanna team up with an expert whose awkward personality, middle-aged suburban mom status and penchant for taking being genuine too far make her a bad candidate for sharing research through short videos? 😬

Immigrants from most regions are more likely to hold a Bachelor's degree or higher than native-born adults in the U.S. Nearly 20% of U.S. workers are immigrants, but their numbers are declining. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

A majority of immigrants live in only a dozen metro areas pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

The U.S. immigrant population grew at a record-breaking pace throughout the past few years but has shrunk since January, marking its first decline since the 1960s. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

3. The Bureau began work on Census 2030 in 2019. Counting hundreds of millions of people across a vast continent is a big lift. It doesn't seem feasible to accomplish this with the additional task of excluding certain immigrants by 2030.

2. Removing these immigrants would likely result in House seat losses for Florida, Texas and California. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

This post immediately brought 3 things to mind: 1. The Census Bureau's mission to count everyone is what enables us to study the size and characteristics of the unauthorized immigrant population.

A quick question -- am wondering if any clergy or faith leaders are seeing gambling becoming a problem among their people?

Help! I'm mentoring a college student who will be applying for summer internships soonish but she's a finance major and I know almost no one in that realm. Looking for any tips on upcoming programs that would be a good match. She can work near DC or remotely.

"The surge in shoplifting is one piece of a larger collapse of the social forces that once restrained wayward behavior at least as much as the law did: trust, guilt, and shame." From @mffisher, the definitive account of America's shoplifting crisis: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

@ChurchTimes @pewresearch There is an interesting discussion between @williamcrawley & author @_StephKramer on @BBCRadio4 @BBCR4Sunday from yesterday bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Christians are the largest migrant group, but Jews are most likely to have migrated. Explore the religious composition of the world’s migrants. pewrsr.ch/4cw7vH5

There are so many other things to say about this that can’t fit into a thread of reasonable length! See what you think about the report linked above and its accompanying interactive here: pewresearch.org/religion/2024/…

In many countries, including the U.S., Canada and much of Europe, migrants are more likely than the native-born population to have a religion, slowing secularization in these destinations.

Check out our NEW report on the religious composition of migrants around the world! We found that nearly half of migrants globally are Christian – a much higher share than they make up in the overall population (30%). pewresearch.org/religion/2024/…
