As COP27 draws to a close, our latest blog asks: what do we think about climate change, and what are we doing about it? https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/blog/2022/11/17/climate-change-what-do-we-think-and-what-are-we-doing

@klauspforr are you aware of any papers on panel/longitudinal surveys that use real time or event triggered data collection? i.e. lots of short surveys about recent experiences.
I know of the work done on Understanding Society in the UK but was wondering if anything similar has been tested in Germany or other countries

A fun game to play is to put on your dressing gown and slippers, run out into the street, grab passers-by and ask them in befuddlement "WHAT YEAR IS THIS?!".

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.
So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

In case you have ever wondered which quantile model fits your research question best, Nicolai Borgen, Øvind Wiborg and I have some answers:
https://academic.oup.com/esr/advance-article/doi/10.1093/esr/jcac052/6815678
We give you some very non-technical discussions (some equations too if you like) about the different estimands we can care about in our theories and how they fit to recent quantile models.
(So, don't use the wrong type of quantile model for you research any more - if you did so...)
