Why not 200%? Because then I can walk it back by 50% and still 100% agree.

This week in my infectious disease/ sociology course the focus was on the sociology of vaccine hesitancy. Students loved the assigned articles by @jenniferreich.bsky.social. Thanks so much for your work.

So grateful for the work of @uwcsde.bsky.social affiliate Kyle Crowder (@popassocamerica.bsky.social vice president) in organizing the #PAA2025 conference. I am proud to have served on the organizing committee.

So excited to be at #PAA2025 with all of my @uwcsde.bsky.social colleagues and students. Also excited to reconnect with my former @minnpop.bsky.social and @ipums.bsky.social colleagues.

USAID is an incredible brand and source of soft power. Killing it off would be a disaster for US foreign policy and for millions of the world’s poorest people.

The Census Scientific Advisory Committee, which advises the Census Bureau on research and methodology across various Census programs and activities, has been terminated as of 2/28/25. This is another blow against federal data collection.

Such a travesty that the Demographic and Health Survey program was terminated this week. I realize the Gates Foundation can't pick up all the pieces, but this one seems like a natural one for them to pick up given that the DHS is the go-to data source for many of their focus areas.

Really enjoyed meeting with @vluck89.bsky.social and learning more about his book. One highlight was learning that some of his research was powered by @ipums.bsky.social !

I am thinking of using @datawrapper.de in future versions of the class. Would someone at Datawrapper be able to give a short presentation on what it is?

The best Christmas present I received as kid was GeoSafari. I loved it so much. I would love to get my kids one but can't find something similar. Did anyone else play with this in the 90s? In addition to being fun, I swear it helped me get the best social studies grade in middle school.

Hi Sam- Could you send me your email address? You would be a good fit to chair the second session.

Most of the papers in this session are related to climate, aging, and health. I think this session will be of interest to many who are affiliated with the new NIA funded centers on Climate Change, Aging, and Health.

Audrey Dorelien @audreydorelien.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

If you know or are a PAA member with expertise Environment, and Health and would be interested in possibly chairing/ or discussing papers in these sessions feel free to reach out.

Audrey Dorelien @audreydorelien.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

My final tasks as PAA session organizer will be to finalize discussants and chairs. Thanks to all those who submitted, and I look forward to seeing everyone at PAA in April.

The second session is: "Fires, fields, and fetal development: exploring the interconnectedness of environmental exposures." This session features research in both developed and developing settings and links environment to health through a range of pathways.

Audrey Dorelien @audreydorelien.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

The first session I organized is titled "Rising temperatures and flooding: impacts on pain, neurodegenerative diseases, isolation, and overdose deaths". The original session was renamed to better fit the papers I chose. I liked that these papers focused on interesting set of outcomes.

I reviewed submissions submitted to session originally titled "Environmental and Climate Influences on Morbidity and Mortality". Luckily, I was granted a session overflow.

Excited about the 2025 PAA conference. I had the opportunity to read through fantastic sets of extended abstracts and organize two sessions under the Mortality & Morbidity theme. Unfortunately there were many great papers I was not able to accept. #Demography @popassocamerica.bsky.social

Some personal news: we’re moving to Seattle! We will both be starting new tenured positions at UW Seattle in the fall—I’ll be in Sociology and @jkerwin.bsky.social will be in Econ. I am so excited to join a great group of demographers and sociologists at UW. Thankful for an amazing 10 years at UMN.

Do you have recommendations for a good organizer for a #PAA2025 flash session titled “Small area estimation of morbidity and mortality trends”? Feel free to self nominate. You must not have organized in the past two years. Organizers also need to have an active PAA membership. #Demography

Panelists from the Population Reference Bureau will describe how to write effectively, avoid common pitfalls in writing for nontechnical readers, identify target audiences, and use communication tools and platforms to share your research. They’ll also provide resources to help you get started.

The @iaphs.bsky.social webinar will highlight ways to expand the reach of your research by distilling your findings into messages and formats tailored for nontechnical audiences, including policymakers and the media.
