Take a look at Michele Barnes + co's new article highlighting the importance of social networks in responses to climate change in Papua New Guinea. A great example of the important work happening as part of the ENDOW project!

Gathering social network data is *hard*. As Michele Barnes says, it's easy to get bamboozled by a name! That's why ENDOW is made of researchers like her with deep ties to the communities they work with, and why @danielj_redhead has written so much code to check & clean the data!

Thanks to an Economic and Social Research Council grant, starting a collab w/ @danielj_redhead & Cate De Bacco & others to develop latent network models that can handle the messiness & noisiness of social network data. Hiring a research officer to develop R & Python packages in fall 2021, so watch this space!

Excited that this collaboration will develop accessible tools for social and behavioral scientists working with noisy and complex social network data!

🚨Job Alert🚨We're hiring a 1 year postdoc to develop & package latent network models for Python & R. Work w/ an interdiscip. team of #network scientists: me, Cate De Bacco, @danielj_redhead, Jean-Gabriel Young, @TracyMSweet, Richard McElreath 🐈‍⬛ +! Please RT & get in touch! jobs.ac.uk/job/CEU150/res…

New paper out: We (Cody Ross + @danielj_redhead) just released an R package designed to make roster-based social network data collection and entry easier for social scientists. Great for RICH economic games too. link.springer.com/article/10.375…

New paper out with the amazing Karen Kramer where we look at how language may structure community social networks throughout the process of market integration (over 20 years!) frontiersin.org/article/10.338…
