#Introduction

Hi, I'm Conrad, Senior Demographer & Associate Director of Research at Pew Research Center.

Here I post the best of our new and classic research. I also highlight great work and clever data visualizations by others.

My own research focus is global religious change.

In Twitter's earlier days, my feed there garnered a few accolades.
