Pew Research Center\u2019s main website offers plenty in the way of polished reports, data visualizations and interactives. But there are also lots of methodological musings, puzzles and tangles that you would <\/em>see if you could flip those picture-perfect research products over (metaphorically speaking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re here to do that part for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we can\u2019t loop you, our research friends, into our in-office chatter, we\u2019ve created this channel as the next best thing. At Decoded, you\u2019ll find blog posts about some paths taken and some narrowly avoided, including experiments that intrigued us but never saw the light of day. We\u2019ll be talking about survey methods, of course, but also data science, data visualization and even news app development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for joining us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
