#JSM2018 Rebecca Powell from @RTI_Intl talking about an experiment on Add Health shifting from interviewer administered to self administered survey
#JSM2018 Powell moved to a 55 self-administered survey from 90 minutes interviewer administered. Worried about response burden with this length of self-admin survey. Randomized n=7600 into either full 55 minute survey or 2 modules- one 35 minutes then 20 minutes.
#JSM2018 Powell Could select to continue on the web. In paper, had to first complete module A, then sent module B. Cover letters told about modules in the incentive part, but not up front. $55 incentive total in each condition

Thread: Two Independent Analyses of Global Wealth with the Same Conclusions

1. A friend of mine passed me two analyses that paint a fairly optimistic future of global wealth in coming years. They are worthy of discussion.
2. The first is a 4-minute YouTube presentation by Swedish statistics guru and public educator Hans Rosling. In this spectacular section of The Joy of Stats, a BBC broadcast in 2010, he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers.
3. Using clever graphics, he shows the evolution of global wealth over time across the globe and shows what he believes to be in store for the future – ultimately very good for the human race as a whole. It’s uplifting and fascinating:

Kicking off #WalkBikePlaces with an infrastructure tour on @BlueBikesNOLA. Several under way now; I'm on the one that looks at public art, placemaking. #bikeNOLA
First stop: Jackson Square, National Historic Site, named for Andrew J. Led battle that saved NOLA in 1812 but owned enslaved people. Should his statue come down? #WalkBikePlaces
Beautiful murals! Families of Plessy and Ferguson reconciled with art in celebration. Studio BE right across the street--big studio space in covered warehouse. @BlueBikesNOLA station right here at park.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

Next up is @chiuki on better negotiation through public speaking! #WSC2018Conf
@chiuki [ed: she has amazing hand-drawn slides]

She started freelancing after leaving her corporate job. "hire me and give me lots of money" isn't necessarily that convincing of a consulting pitch. #WSC2018Conf
She decided she was going to build her profile in order to make sure that she had a convincing presence if you searched for her name online so her clients would hire her. #WSC2018Conf

Thread: @ONS published its latest immigration statistics today and, much as the far right may disagree, it isn't good news for the UK 1/19
Immigration remains higher than emigration, which considering the UK's current employment rate and ageing population is at least something to be thankful for. That is where the good news ends though 2/19
There is nothing overly unusual about seeing fluctuations in immigration and emigration, its standard fare and goes in cycles. What makes these figures most worrying is the split of who is leaving and coming 3/19
