I waited around 9 months to get more than 800 € reimbursed from travelling to Canada. I learned after my trip that I could have gotten half of it upfront.

Vielean Dank 😊😊😊😊

Oops, I did it once and I will never do it again.

Hive mind, please help me out!

I need a more informative and explicit subtitle for my upcoming #RStats book "Model to Meaning"

The premise is that analysts should often transform coefficient estimates into more meaningful / interpretable quantities like predictions, risk differences, slopes, etc.

People often overestimate how many others share their views—a phenomenon known as the false consensus effect.

In a new article in @ispp-pops.bsky.social, @clandwehr.bsky.social, Philipp Harms and I show that this tendency is associated with stronger populist attitudes: doi.org/10.1111/pops....

how it's going...

Wie versprochen möchte ich heute noch ein bisschen mehr über die aktuelle Lage in den Niederlanden erzählen, wo die Regierung gerade extreme Sparmaßnahmen im Wissenschaftsbereich beschlossen hat.

Well, #APSA got from "Offering a stage for Jan6 apologists" to "We noticed that some of our members are getting detained and deported and crossing borders is not safe" reeeeally quick...

New paper accepted for publication at PSRM, on a timely topic:

Sorry, not sorry...

Es ist ja fast schon ironisch, dass es GENAU ÜBER DIESES PHÄNOMEN FORSCHUNG GIBT!!!

Let's make it official: In a little bit more than a month, I am leaving academia, because why wouldn't I?

Well f*** you Duolingo

The bottom line:

This publisher seems to make a lot of money with a high rate of acceptance (which sounds quite predatory to me).

Unsurprisingly, this exploits the reviewers because no matter your feedback, the editorial team seems to send you the manuscript back again and again.

Eventually, I managed to fall for what one might call an "academic scam".

Since this publisher seems well known in STEM but hardly in social sciences (at least, I haven't heard warnings before), I would like to spread the word:

"Don't review for MDPI!"

Does someone here have experience doing meta-analyses and/or familiarity with political knowledge as a variable of interest? I have an idea for a paper... #polisky

Wissenschaft: Noch acht Stunden Zeit, VG Wort-Meldungen einzutragen.

Query for the polisky community: Does anyone know of research (e.g. psychology) exploring why far-right voters appear "forgiving" of party leaders whose identities or lifestyles contradict their core principles? I am thinking of far-right leaders who are openly LGBTQ+ or who belong to wealthy elites

My friend and colleague Monika de Silva is organizing this very interesting workshop on the International Politics of #Gender and #Sexuality for #EWIS2025 in Krakow this next July, if you are working on this topic you should definitely have a look! More info here eisa-net.org/wp-content/u...

My first paper has been published at PVS. In it, I investigate the strategic incentives behind parliamentary interruptions using data from the German Bundestag. In this thread you can find a short summary of the paper, which is available under open access here: rdcu.be/d4mHq
