On my way to #EPSS2026 - by train and boat - and as always in Paris (Gare de Lyon) wondering, why is there no platform 3 in between the two? Any #train nerds who can help me out, please?

According to DORA: „The outputs from scientific research are many and varied, including: research articles reporting new knowledge, data, reagents, and software; intellectual property; and highly trained young scientists.“ Apperently, I am a varied output from scientific research!

Declaration.

The outputs from scientific research are many and varied, including: research articles reporting new knowledge, data, reagents, and software; intellectual property; and highly trained young scientists.

Funding agencies, institutions that employ scientists, and scientists themselves, all have a desire, and need, to assess the quality and impact of scientific outputs. It is thus imperative that scientific output is measured accurately and evaluated wisely.
The Journal Impact Factor is frequently used as the primary parameter with which to compare the scientific output of individuals and institutions.

Tonight, I dreamt I had written this important article. So I had to: github.com/brueckmann/P... TL;DR: The date March 11 is incorrect because it does not reflect the actual date correctly, as the paper shows. Therefore, please retire this date format so that we all have good dates.

$Screenshot of article The date above is wrong. It is not a correct representation of the actual date, which is 2026-03-11, or the 11$^\text{th}$ of March, 2026. This is why. Therefore, please retire this date format so that we all have good dates.$

Hey @epssnet.bsky.social 👋 Just wondering, why would you ask for a picture upload in the Bluesky field in one's personal profile on the EPSS website?

Screenshot from the EPSS website under social links, there is Bluesky, which prompts you to upload a picture.

So, that is using the qualtrics flat template. You may try it yourself. I quickly uploaded it there: github.com/brueckmann/T... Key is: Conjoint table to UserTable <table class="UserTable"> in HTML_Conjointtable.html, and that you define the UserTable in CSS_for_conjoint_tables.css.

This is how Swiss residents get informed about their climate tax revenue redistribution: Did you notice this in your health insurance mailings? #carbondividends #carbonpricing #ctax #carbontax #CO2taxation

Picture of letter in German.

Merkblatt Rückverteilung COz- und VOC-Abgaben

567 Mio. Fr. für die Bevölkerung

Sie erhalten dieses Jahr Fr. 61.80 aus der CO2- und der VOC-Abgabe zurück!
Die Rückverteilung an die Bevölkerung geschieht direkt und effizient jedes Jahr über eine Verrechnung mit Ihrer Krankenkassenprämie. Anrecht auf die Rückverteilung haben alle Personen, die in der Schweiz wohnen und bei einer Schweizer Krankenkasse grundversichert sind.

Abgaben auf schädliche Stoffe
In der Schweiz gibt es eine Lenkungsabgabe auf klimaschädliche CO2-Emissionen (CO2-Abgabe) und eine auf umweltschädliche Bestandteile von Lösungsmitteln (VOC-Abgabe). Diese Abgaben haben zum Ziel, dass die schädlichen Stoffe sparsamer eingesetzt werden - das hilft dem Klima und unserer Gesundheit.

Rückverteilung an die Bevölkerung
Zum einen profitieren Unternehmen und die Bevölkerung: Ein Teil der Einnahmen aus den Lenkungsabgaben wird rückverteilt. Im Jahr 2026 werden insgesamt 567 Millionen Franken an die Bevölkerung rückverteilt. Das entspricht Fr. 61.80 pro Person.

Förderung des Klimaschutzes
Zum anderen wird die COz-Abgabe gezielt für den Klimaschutz eingesetzt. Im Jahr 2026 stehen dazu rund 324 Millionen Franken zur Verfügung - für klimafreundliche Gebäude (Gebäudeprogramm), nachhaltige Technologien (Technologiefonds) und den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien.

Wichtig zu wissen:
Lenkungsabgaben sind keine allgemeinen Steuern. Sie folgen dem Verursacherprinzip - wer die Umwelt belastet, zahlt mehr. Wer umweltfreundlich handelt, wird entlastet und profitiert.

Wollte diese Nachtzugverbindung für eine Konferenzreise nutzen. ist aber vermutlich nicht #Geschäftsreise genug, oder wo ist mein Denkfehler?

Screenshot from the Watson Article, highlighted: „Für Letzteren spielt zudem eine Rolle, dass die Verbindung «einzig und allein dem Freizeitverkehr» diene. Es sei nicht die Aufgabe des Staates, Feriendestinationen zu subventionieren. Denkbar sind für Wasserfallen einzig Unterstützungsgelder für Nachtzüge, die von Geschäftsleuten genutzt werden.“

🇨🇭 The way this is written makes me deeply uncomfortable. „Debatte um Gazakinder“ literally is „debate about children in Gaza“ It is also not reflecting of the issue at hand that is about money, health care facilities and about security concerns related to the(up to 4) accompanying adults

Sometimes the fun is in the footnotes. This is from: Darwili, A., & Schröder, E. (2025). Which countries have offshored carbon dioxide emissions in net terms?. Ecological Economics, 235, 108597. #AcademicChatter #SwissExceptionalism #Sweden #Energy #Trade #ClimateChange

Footnote from mentioned academic paper which reads: In the interest of transparency: we initially set the threshold at 10 million, a nice and round number. We lowered the threshold after noticing it would exclude Sweden and Switzerland. Both countries are worth studying on account of their trade-intensive economies with exceptionally clean energy systems.

Jeah German's foreign ministry already put that on their website some days ago. And no, not on the special LGBTQIA+ travel info, that's the general one. www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseunds... TL;DR: Everyone has to fit in either male/female and state whichever they were assigned at birth.

Screenshot of the German foreign travel website. Passage highlighted "Aufgrund einer Executive Order vom 20. Januar 2025 müssen Einreisende in die USA in Zukunft bei ESTA- oder Visumanträgen entweder das Geschlecht „männlich“ oder „weiblich“ angeben; relevant ist hierbei der Geschlechtseintrag der antragstellenden Person zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt. Reisende, die den Geschlechtseintrag „X“ innehaben oder deren aktueller Geschlechtseintrag von ihrem Geschlechtseintrag bei Geburt abweicht, sollten vor Einreise die zuständige Auslandsvertretung der USA in Deutschland kontaktieren und die geltenden Einreisevoraussetzungen in Erfahrung zu bringen." which translates to "Due to an Executive Order dated January 20, 2025, travelers entering the USA must state their gender as “male” or “female” when applying for an ESTA or visa; the relevant gender is the applicant's gender marker at the time of birth. Travelers who have the gender marker “X” or whose current gender entry differs from their gender marker at birth should contact the relevant US diplomatic mission in Germany before entering the country and find out the applicable entry requirements."

Thanks for clarification, Fabrizio. Recently, we did it like this, see picture. So only citing R and cregg, but if we had cited all (I literally just checked it, there would be 14 more references in total).

Paper screenshot: 3.6. Method
To investigate the role of project design for the social acceptance of CiFi PV, we analyzed our data in terms of average marginal component effects (AMCEs) [108], [123] and in terms of marginal means (MMs) [121] using the cregg [122] package in R [124].
For the framing experiment, we relied on OLS regressions with standard errors clustered on the individual level. In particular, we estimated the following regressions:

model have been around since Fisher. I think that Rubin

to the study of causation."
