❓Figure out how weighing your data improves generalizability in your research by watching our NoStupidQuestions series here: myumi.ch/ICPSRNoStupidQuestions #ICPSR #NoStupidQuestions #SocialScience
ICPSR presents #NoStupidQuestions — What is Weighted Data? The video features a person with long hair explaining the concept, accompanied by a playful visual of a cartoon orange cat struggling to lift a barbell labeled with a red arrow and speech bubble saying “Uh oh.” The series is available online at https://myumi.ch/ICPSRNoStupidQuestions , with a clean white and light green design.
