After 4 years of hard work, I defended my PhD on ideology in local politics.
It was an unforgettable night. Grateful to my supervisors @nicolasbouteca.bsky.social & Kristof Steyvers, colleagues, family & friends for making this possible. ❤️

1. it takes longer than you think.
2. there are strategies, but it‘s essentially trial + error.
3. don‘t let them out of your hands too early, it‘ll fail
4. you usually hear back from them sooner than hoped

I am really grateful to everyone who has helped me to become a better scholar and teacher: my wonderful colleagues at Leiden University; my collaborators on different projects; and my students.

@simonotjes.bsky.social and I study ~10,000 estimates of public opinion by politicians in Denmark & the Netherlands to uncover the sources of these (mis)perceptions
