Stimmt, du bist ja auch in Hamburg ☺️ Dann lass uns doch bald mal in die Mensa, ich bin auch schon Fan :D

Danke liebe Verena - wir sehen uns ja glaube ich schon morgen in Bamberg :)

Thanks for the warm welcome - I've been meaning to pass by to say hi, but the first weeks have been quite busy and I'm still sitting in VMP9 for a little while. But I'll try to pass by next week and look forward to Blattwerk chats :)

Thank you - and congratulations again back to you!

Danke, hoffe bei dir ist alles ganz fantastisch :)

Danke Rebecca & hoffentlich bis bald :)

Vielen Dank Sandra!

Danke Constantin, endlich wieder zur Arbeit radeln ;)

Danke Julian :)

Thanks Katjana :)

Danke liebe Kathrin, hoffentlich bis bald mal wieder!

Thanks Katy :) Hope you'll have a great time in Florence next month!

Thanks, hope you're doing well over there!

Danke sehr!

Danke für die spannende und tolle Zeit und bestimmt auf bald in Frankfurt!

Danke, bestimmt auf ganz bald :)

Still, I'm also sad to leave @viadrina.eu and I have many people to thank for my time there. I'm grateful that I got the (in Germany still rare) opportunities a tenure-track job affords and for having the most fantastic and supportive colleagues at Viadrina💙💛
I'll do my best to pay this forward!

Some professional news as I took my oath of office today:
On September 1st, I joined the University of Hamburg as a full professor of democratic political decision making👋

I'm very excited about this job & the chance to continue researching democracy, party competition and digitalization here
