Devastating! Ran was a giant in his field and an especially generous colleague! The way he welcomed me to our department really meant a lot. May his memory be a blessing.

Linda A. White@lindawhite.bsky.social · 2mo ago

My dear friend and colleague has left this world. A towering intellectual giant of constitutional politics, Ran’s body of scholarship runs deep and wide. His passing leaves a giant hole in the academic community, in our dept, and in the lives of all who knew him. May his memory be a blessing. 💔

Either arXiv’s new policy on LLM-generated text changes nothing, or you should be asking yourself some hard questions about work with your human coauthors.

Do I know anyone who (successfully) submitted a registered report to #APSR/#JOP and is willing to share it with me? Would really appreciate seeing how people approached this new format!
