It's fabulous to welcome our students and alumni back to @mpidr.bsky.social for the 6th IMPRS-PHDS Graduate Workshop! We are looking forward to two days of research updates and networking as well as mini-workshops on science communication and mastering Q&A sessions!

I have a new book out! Approaches to Mixed Methods Research (coauthored with @lisapearce.bsky.social ) is the newest contribution to the Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences (little green books) series! tinyurl.com/4xpbbbt8.

What is structural racism, and how do we measure it? @tyson-brown.bsky.social, @pahoman.bsky.social, and I have a forthcoming Annual Review article on @socarxiv.bsky.social. Check it before studying structural racism is banned (and follow Tyson and Trish, new to Bluesky). osf.io/6zbgh/

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.
