Cheers to another year, fellas. Thanks for being the best in the business, not to mention keeping me sane on my commute

Dan, I wanted to thank you for an excellent event, and for graciously sticking around to shake hands / briefly chat with us. Thank you for all the amazing podcasts over the years (going back to when I actually had them on a device with pod in the name).

Can't wait for Alexander part 3!

🚨 New publication! 🚨

With Kirill Zhirkov, we test whether using term “illegal” vs. “undocumented” shifts immigration opinion.

In Research & Politics, we find no causal effect -- but preferred terms still reflect underlying ideology.

Did we finally reach the line that the New York Post does not want to cross?

Unfortunate to not include the upcoming health policy dreadful duo.

"my powerful alma mater"

Interesting when expertise and elite university credentials are valued, and when they are denigrated.

With the election in the rear view, the work continues.

If you're here, I'm presenting my working paper on anti-vaccine communities and politics at 3 PM in Price on the 5th floor!

Accepted into the annual MPSA meeting for my first in-person academic panel participation. Looking forward to presenting in April on a panel focused on Public Opinion, Misinformation, and Public Attitudes!

How do we get a disconnect like this? Theory: financial media spent a year and a half beating the drum of a recession that never came, skewing perception of the economy for voters?

There needs to be a Louvre of political tweets, and this one would now be the Mona Lisa

So the VA HoD control is going to come down to the part of Goochland County where I start my daily commute?
