@jharrison37.bsky.social is next presenting his work on #births, #partnerships & residential #mobility of #immigrants & #descendants in #France! He shows that African immigrants exhibit higher event intensity, some fertility convergence across generations & that residential barriers persist.

Congrats!

It’s the former btw!

Happy BSPS week to all those who celebrate. My office for the afternoon is a table seat on the Transport to Wales service en route to Swansea.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone there!

What does a reviewer mean when they say “the results section is too descriptive”?

I’m at a bit of a loss about what else should be in a results section if not a description of the results

Graduation ✔️

The ONS Longitudinal Study has transformed our understanding of immigration & health in the UK. This thread explores 4 key insights from the latest #LinkingOurLivesPod with @mjwdemography.bsky.social and @jharrison37.bsky.social highlighting the LS' contribution to research in this field.

This was a lot of fun to record. If anyone wants to listen to me talk about immigrant morality and cancer using the England and Wales Longitudinal Study - here is your chance!
In the latest episode of the #LinkingOurLivesPod we talk about how uniquely placed the ONS Longitudinal Study is to research questions about the health of immigrants with @mjwdemography.bsky.social & @jharrison37.bsky.social
