"As a #quantitative #socialscientist who has studied #religious change in modern societies for more than 25 years, I’m surprised – and sceptical. I do not doubt that the #BibleSociety acted in good faith, but they haven’t engaged with the mountain of #evidence, some of it very recent, pointing to #religiousdecline.

Is there really a #religiousrevival in England? Why I’m sceptical of a new report

An #introduction from another #twitterexile:
I’m Ryan. I’m a #socialscientist based in #politicalscience and #idev departments. My research focuses on #foreignaid and more recently, #metascience. I’m proud of this recent paper: https://osf.io/7vy2f/.
I’m interested in and will post about: effective altruism #ea, #rstats, #cocktails, #cooking and #baking, and local #Toronto stuff. I have 3 kids (one is 2 weeks old) and so will inevitably post about #parenting.

So, mastodon is making me a nervous noob on the internet. For some peculiar reason, here I feel I have to say something of substance and somehow this increases the threshold to actually post anything. I thought more space and a more civilized conversation would be liberating but it is petrifying.

Hi everyone! 🖖

I'm a #socialscientist interested in #socialinequalities. I concentrated on #bigdata and #algorithmicbias in my master's thesis.

I'm working for a research company as a qualitative data analyst.

I used to work on #genderstudies, especially #queertheory. I have a publication about #dragperformances and used MaxQDA for the analysis. https://doi.org/10.33708/ktc.1172297

Outside of my professional life, I'm passionate about #scifi, #fantasyliterature #horrornarratives, and #roleplayinggames.

Time for an #introduction:

I’m a #SocialScientist interested in #SurveyMethodology and #PoliticalSociology. My research is on the design of #Surveys and #SurveyQuestions, #DataQuality, and the study of political attitudes and behaviors.

Currently, I work as a senior researcher for the German Longitudinal Election Study @gles at the Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences @GESIS.

My further interests include #Blues, #Rock, and #Metal music, #Cycling, and exiting #Wine from around the world.

Kia Ora. I’m skulking around Mastodon looking for my tribe. I’m a #socialScientist working in #healthscience , specifically #dentaleducation. I research #academicintegrity #ethics and #commercialisation in dentistry, and #clinicaleducation . I’m a #cat lover a #cyclist and #mum to a #teen . Always keen to discuss #academia #academicmisconduct #contractcheating #academicchatter #research. I live in #AotearoaNZ where I enjoy #vanlife in my #campervan . I do #photograhy #landscape #macro

Hi! I’m a #mixedmethods researcher, with a particular interest in #evaluation. I’m a #socialscientist and my current research program focuses on #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion in #STEM. My background is in #IPV which means #traumainformed and #survivorcentered work is critical in all that I do!

Long version:
I work for a peak body for leaders of #AcademicLibraries, where I look after strategy and analytics. I'm a former #LIS academic, #SocialScientist, #OnlineLearning specialist and librarian, and I'm still kinda working out who I am now I'm not an academic anymore (but very much enjoying the ride). I'm a #QualitativeResearch type who is learning to love quantitative data. My professional interests are in the hashtag list up there ^^^

Hi everyone! 👋 Here's my #introduction:

I'm an #environmental #socialscientist based in the UK trained in #politicalecology, #geography and #anthropology. I work in research and practice on #smallscalefisheries, focused on #governance, #socialequity and #rights in tropical contexts. 🐠 🎣

I work for the #NGO Fauna & Flora International and recently finished my #PhD with University of Exeter.

Outside work I'm passionate about #music, #photography, #scubadiving, #hiking, #cycling, and #cooking.

🦥Hi I'm new here. Urban cyclist, lazy activist, wannabe illustrator & professional communicator. I have thought about #SocialJustice for longer than about the #ClimateCrisis. Searching for ways to promote #ClimateJustice & convince fellow critical #SocialScientist.s to understand planetary boundaries with all implications.

The best book I've read this year was Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (go read it!)

Very glad to be here now! Billionnaires should not exist.

Hello! An #introduction from me to the new-to-me #fediverse.

I am a #SocialScientist researching people’s experiences of health & illness and of accessing healthcare, particularly marginalised groups. I specialise in #QualitativeResearch.

I have worked in #sociology (of health & illness), on #masculinities and #MensHealth #PrimaryCare #nursing and #midwifery, as well as in #SubstanceUse. I’m a bit of an academic philanderer, failing to commit to any one social/ medical science.

Re-post #introduction
#migration to new instance #fediscience

I identify as a #research #methodologist and more broadly as #SocialScientist (trained #psychologist).
At the end of the day, I want to apply stats and methods to further our understanding of substantive issues.

Deleted my #mastodonsocial account as things were getting too complicated. So now I am here and it's time for an #introduction. I am a #socialscientist interested in the way #metaphors shape our thinking and acting , for example with relation to #climatechange, #infectiousdiseases, #politics, #science etc.

This SO reminds me of (somewhat) early days internet/web (circa 1994) w/no google, yahoo a hot mess. If you are a #socialscientist (broadly defined) LMK and we can all follow all!
