✏️ 1/ Excited to share our new research: "Right, left or green: what matters the most for supporting environmental policies?" We asked: Is it your politics, or how political you think a policy is, that drives your support for environmental policies? 🌱🔵🔴

Our global study on the state of trust in scientists is now out in Nature Human Behaviour! 🥳 With a team of 241 researchers, we surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries, providing the largest dataset on trust in scientists post-pandemic 👇🧵https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-02090-5

This new publication is very close to my green heart 🌿 It shows estimates of greenhouse gas emissions caused by travel to @European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) conferences, and offers two solutions for preserving not only human health, but also the health of the planet: (🧵1/4)

Bar chart illustrating the emission saving potential of different locations and online attendance rates. The first bar shows the comparison of assuming an on-site only Bremen conference with all participants travelling to Bremen and no online participation option - 0% saving. The least saving potential would be hybrid conferences held in London or Paris (assuming 8% online attendees) - both bars show 10% saving as compared to the first bar. The next bar shows the hybrid organisation of the Bremen conference with 8% online attendees, which reduced the emissions by 15% as compared to Bremen if it would have been on-site only. Hybrid Frankfurt, Brussels and Amsterdam conferences (with 8% online attendance) would reduce emissions by 15% and 16% as compared to the first bar. It is estimated that the Amsterdam location would derive similar results for Groningen, which is scheduled for 2025. If Bremen would have had a 24% online attendance rate, it would have reduced emissions by 29% as compared to on-site only Bremen. The last two bars show emission saving potential, if the conference would be held only every second year (50%) or fully online (97%) on the basis of Bremen participants.The bar chart shows the percentage and absolute numbers of delegates per conference and assumed transportation mode as well as online participation rates. For Dubrovnik, Bratislava and Bremen the numbers are based on registration data. For Cascais and Groningen the same participants with the same modi were assumed as in Bremen. The numbers are: Dubrovnik 8% (72 participants) via train/car/bus, 35% (297 participants) via short-haul flight, 42% (363 participants) via long-haul flight, 15% (125 participants) via super long-haul flight, none online as this was not a hybrid conference. Bratislava: 14% (94 participants) via train/car/bus, 41% (285 participants) via short-haul flight, 17% (121 participants) via long-haul flight, 4% (26 participants) via super long-haul flight, 24% (170 participants) online. Bremen: 37% (296 participants) via train/car/bus, 40% (318 participants) via short-haul flight, 9% (69 participants) via long-haul flight, 6% (46 participants) via super long-haul flight, 8% (66 participants) online. Cascais: With projected data from Bremen 2% (15 participants) via train/car/bus, 4% (34 participants) via short-haul flight, 79% (627 participants) via long-haul flight, 7% (53 participants) via super long-haul flight, 8% (66 participants) online. Groningen: With projected data from Bremen 51% (402 participants) via train/car/bus, 26% (207 participants) via short-haul flight, 9% (74 participants) via long-haul flight, 6% (46 participants) via super long-haul flight, 8% (66 participants) online. world map with integrated zoomed in Europe map, each locating Dubrovnik as conference location. Aggregated data of delegates’ affiliation cities are the starting points of smaller arrows, which funnel into larger arrows per continent, pointing at the conference location to visualise where the majority of delegates started their journey to the respective conference locations. The embedded Europe map also shows lines connecting all affiliation cities with the conference cities. The figures also show the total distances travelled to the conference location (not adjusted for different number of delegates) split by participants from overseas and from Europe (overseas: Dubrovnik 3,420,046km; within Europe: Dubrovnik 1,912,441km)

Always lovely to get emails from professors who use my open textbook in their stats course. There are now 17 chapters, explaining on a slightly more conceptual level why we compute statistics and what we learn from them, with self-graded quizzes: lakens.github.io/statistical_...
