You don’t need more ideas. You need a better question. A thread on clarity, chaos, & what a Nobel Prize winner, a mosquito net & a PhD meltdown taught me about writing (+ thinking) better. 🪨 Here’s my new Respect the Marble post: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/you-dont-n... 🧵
You Don’t Need More Ideas. You Need a Better Question
What Michelangelo, a Nobel Laureate, and a PhD Meltdown Taught Me about Research Questions

In our survey, @carlokoos.bsky.social and I examine Israeli perceptions of the humanitarian situation in Gaza—and reveal a striking gap between what Israelis believe and what is reported by reputable sources. theconversation.com/israelis-hav...
Israelis have a skewed view on extent of Gaza’s hunger plight − driven by censorship and media that downplay humanitarian crisis
Exposure to accurate reporting over the dire plight of people in Gaza resulted in 5% bump in those in Israel who supported aid convoys.

Looking forward to reading this. Despite being involved in many RCTs, there is always this lingering feeling that the (parts of) interventions we randomize and evaluate aren't the most impactful part of a program as it often excludes activities taking place at the institutional and aggregate level.
Megan Stevenson@meganstevenson.bsky.social · 3y agoSo pleased to see my paper out! It surveys 50+ years of randomized control trials in criminal justice and shows that almost no interventions have lasting benefit -- and the ones that do don't replicate in other settings. 1/ www.bu.edu/bulawreview/... #econsky #polisky #metascience #philsci
This new paper is so cool! It shows that the media use passive voice, nominalizations, and intransitive verbs that obscure responsibility in cases of police killings. Because they do this, citizens are less likely to hold police officers responsible for bad behavior.
The 2024 Best Visualization Award goes to Masanori Kikuchi (Washington University in St. Louis) for his article ‘How does war affect cultural tolerance? Evidence from concert programs, 1900-60’. Congratulations to the author!

🚨 In the "The Gendered Costs of Stigma", we explore the gendered responses of survivors to sexual violence in the DRC, Liberia, and Sri Lanka. The use of #list_experiments shows that respondents need anonymity for sensitive questions in surveys. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The #WarEffects project workshop is underway. We’ve brought together 20 scholars studying different aspects of civil wars, violence, and/or gender.
The #WarEffects team is looking forward to our kick-off workshop. We’ll host about 20 scholars between October 9-11 to discuss recent advances in research on war and gender.
