I had the best time getting ✨multilingual✨ in R and Python at the Summer School for Women* in Political Methodology 🤗

Couldn’t ask for a more supportive group; very important when several hours of live-coding is involved 🙈

Our #EPSA2025 roundtable will be happening soon in the auditorium, see you there 🤩

So many things to love about this NYC result, from the policy possibilities it creates and generational change it delivers to the rebuttal of the naked and cynical Islamophobia Mamdani's opponents tried to stir up and the schadenfruede over dirtbag Cuomo's big sad. Today, I❤️NY!!

As a little sneak peek into what you can expect tomorrow, check out this note by @williamlallen.bsky.social!

We look forward to this very important conversation, and to seeing you there! 🎉

We convened a panel of participants who bring diverse perspectives on this topic across career stages and institutional experience: @kenbenoit.bsky.social (Singapore Management University), @shubhakprasad.bsky.social (Hertie), @henryhenryhenry.com (UZH), and
@williamlallen.bsky.social (Southampton).

In this roundtable, we'll discuss the application process, the institutional dynamics that come with this career transition, and professional development beyond landing the first job. We designed this discussion with both early career researchers and the faculty who support them in mind.

If you are attending #EPSA2025 and interested in uncovering the black box that is the postdoctoral job market, you're in luck! Marta Antonetti (LSE) and I will be hosting a roundtable on Thursday at 13:10 dedicated to the topic. 🧵👇

Pleased to share the latest version of my paper with Arthur Spirling and @lexipalmer.bsky.social on replication using LMs

We show:

1. current applications of LMs in political science research *don't* meet basic standards of reproducibility...

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

It is not normal to absorb this much info about extreme violence. It is not normal to constantly think that only by pure chance, you could have been subjected to the same. I feel like something is eroding in our humanity, because we numb our feelings to deal with the terrible reality we live in

The utter stress of living in Germany these days I swear. On the bright side (other foreign) friends who were previously less outspoken on Palestine are becoming radicalized.

i am less convinced that AI is going to replace jobs than i am that companies are going to cut jobs on the premise of AI replacing them and then hire those people back as contractors for less money and fewer protections, because that’s what’s happened a *lot* in the last 20 years.

Palestinian scholar @danaelkurd.bsky.social learned of the 10/7 attacks while visiting the Jewish Museum of Berlin. She reflects:

“A reconsideration of the nation-state as the sole source of safety, as well as the notion of a state-based sovereignty, is essential.”
