Misread as repressive and imagined scandis as dictatorships where everyone must wear matching knit sweaters and a secret police that judges your interior design.

Google Scholar Is Doomed Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

How to stop the revolving door of German academia Germany is one of the most popular destinations for students and scholars worldwide, but those pursuing academic careers face significant hurdles to success.

German academia: great place to work? You should think twice before giving it a try: Permanent positions are very rare, most scholars have to drop out after some precarious years. @dianakwon.bsky.social has written a great piece about this for @nature.com and also talked to yours truly. #IchBinHanna

Look, this "dramatic break" stuff is simply not true. Domestic politics & geopolitics have shaped economic policies for ~forever, even as, yes, the causal arrow goes both ways. People have written vast piles of books & articles about this. An entire field, called "international political economy" 🤷‍♂️

Turns out, predicting crises isn’t about crystal balls, it’s about data. Enjoyed exploring the future of early warning data at the German Federal Foreign Office @diplo.de with colleagues across academia & practice.

This article should have been published alongside the one it responds to. The original article finds that the authors' own (commercial) data outperforms the free UCDP data. Conflict of interest? Nah. But at least we know now that this conclusion is based on "a series of unfounded claims." 👇

ACLED locking researchers out feels less like data protection, more like damage control. Especially when the numbers already… don’t add up because they're sourced from people doing the fighting. 📉
