Then @cerifowler.bsky.social is presenting our ongoing work on how survey non-response varies by what is being asked about, how we ask it, and who answers We find that who says DK, and to what/when, is very much non-random, which matters given we all tend to just drop the DKs from our analyses

First, bright and early after the dance party, @jess-smith.bsky.social is presenting our ongoing systematic review examine what the literature tells us about gender bias in candidate evaluations (Preview: “null” and “positive” results are more common in experiments than in observational work…)
