These spammers have obviously never tried to get research funding because usually you receive a really vague email telling you you need to log into some system only to find out your grant has been rejected
email topic line saying "Grant for You!!"

Deze week kwam het pijnlijke nieuws dat de gemeente Moerdijk het oude dorp Moerdijk wil gaan opheffen. Een bittere pil voor de bewoners. Moerdijk, hieronder in de situatie van 1832, kent een bijzondere geschiedenis.

Check out this conference if you work on topics related to kinship structure and dynamics (within and beyond the household), caregiving, intergenerational processes, family bereavement, LGBTQ+ & chosen kinship, etc. @iussp.bsky.social Submit by 21 Jan 2026 👇 www.demogr.mpg.de/go/kinship-conference

MPIDR - Kinship Structures, Dynamics, and Inequalities
This conference will bring together scholars from various disciplines to consider how large-scale sociodemographic shifts reshape family systems within and beyond the household and how these changes contribute to, reproduce, or mitigate social and economic inequality.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

And, not sure who brought it up, but that US data on stillbirths is problematic because of a financial incentive to register a newborn as a live birth. There's an interesting parallel to the problems in historical data in Catholic regions (where a newborn needs to be born alive to be baptized). 👀

This was such a great session. One of the excellent comments (by @jnobles.bsky.social) I was thinking about later was that events of stillbirth & neonatal mortality should also be thought of as health events happening to the *mothers*.
