@kauspurg.bsky.social and Josef do great service to social sciences by carefully combing through sensational empirical work. We cited the findings in B&B in our earlier work, though with hindsight regretfully.

Michael Clemens@mclem.org · 3mo ago

Remember that recent paper claiming to show that "ideological bias" determined the results obtained by immigration policy research teams? A careful, open-code reanalysis by @kauspurg.bsky.social & Josef Brüderl finds that the result arises from a coding error. —> doi.org/10.31222/osf...

1/ With the DR Congo facing another Ebola outbreak, I’ve been reflecting on research I published on the 2018–2020 outbreak, one of the most violent public health emergencies for healthcare workers. Key lesson: Public health emergencies become far more dangerous when they are politicized.

I worked for a year at Bilgi MBA while studying at Boğaziçi uni. Both universities are devastated and Bilgi now closed by presidential decree. All the same time the country says they want to attract back talented Turkish students and academics. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/...

Bilgi was a wonderful university… beautiful campus, lively student body, excellent academics. No wonder the Erdogan regime couldn’t stand it. Yet another devastating blow for Turkish academia and society. Solidarity with all faculty, staff and students! ✊
