My kiddo crocheted this cell model and it makes me feel fulfilled in my life’s purpose.

What happened in the 2024 elections? How do we account for the gap between Harris's votes and Biden's in 2020, and how did race/gender shape results? CPS panel Thursday: Vincent Hutchings, Mara Ostfeld, @jmping.bsky.social and Nicholas Valentino: events.umich.edu/event/128368

Another one to bookmark for #PAA2024: @spattersearch.bsky.social gives several 🔥 talks on caregiving: how social & care networks overlap, how families & expectations are defined; and if parental investments of time/$ influence adult children's support of parents. @UM_PSC #ISRatPAA

💥An encore assembly of @UM_PSC power rangers presents important work at #PAA2024! - Dissimilarity in data from life history data interviews compared to prospectively collected info about health events.

Social scientists who want to learn or expand their toolbox for observational research should check out these summer ICPSR workshops. The in-person Michigan workshop uses the HomeLab simulated environment. The other shows how to use & process data from wearable biosensors. @RCGD_ISR myumi.ch/nyZ7V

The American National Elections Studies (ANES), now 75, has interviewed the US electorate before and after every presidential election since 1948. We asked PI Nicholas Valentino what we’ve learned from it, and where we’d be without it: cpsblog.isr.umich.edu?p=3213 @umisrcps polisky polisci

@cohodes.bsky.social presented on diversifying the STEM pipeline at @UM_PSC this week. Takeaways: Summer programs "work," esp. in driving students to enroll in more competitive universities. Summer bridge programs may be less effective than programs that precede college apps; ⬆️ K-12 funding needed.

Through UM's ICPSR Summer program, RCGD offers 2 workshops to take social science into the experimental lab. Please share about these great opportunities with folks interested to use psychophysiology methods or simulated environments. (Funding apps are due soon!) rcgd.isr.umich.edu/2024/02/20/r...

Tina Lasisi put wigs on robots and discovered that human scalp hair is not just decorative-- it's a thermoregulatory adaptation. #evosky #aabb #umich @RCGD_ISR www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A new Michigan study on how sleeping alone (or not) impacts sleep quality in mice *also* wins my award for cutest graphical abstract in a scientific paper. Mice seek physical contact before sleep initiation and huddle during their sleep. @umich www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
