Some personal news 💫 After almost two years at @iast.fr, I’m moving to Ireland to start as an Assistant Professor in political science at @tcddublin.bsky.social I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and for the trust my new department has placed in me. Can’t wait to join the team in Dublin.

🚨 New paper accepted at the @bjpols.bsky.social: we were in the field while Brexit dominated British politics. Do MPs respond differently when constituents disagree with the party line? What we find surprised us: a null! url: osf.io/preprints/os...

Unpopular opinion: England deserved to lose this match. The chart below summarizes it: they get the lead and are not even thinking about continuing to do what did work. Instead, they fall into the "oldest" trap in football...

I've invested quite some time in archives and asking for access to get to my grandfather's SS information. Now here is some of it accessible, just one click away: www.zeit.de/wissenschaft... This is amazing and there is absolutely no excuse why you should not look up your grandfathers' history.

Does protesting authoritarianism alienate moderates? New working paper on 1960s West German student movement suggests protest was associated with modest *increase* in support for the center left, potentially by reshaping perceptions of the far right. osf.io/preprints/so...

One thing is for sure: the world didn't need Claude Excel. The world needs a law against excel.

Genuinely interested in your views: What is the future of teaching statistical programming language for data science in the age of AI? Will we even still teach programming R or Python?

It's one thing for corruption to make a red card disappear. It's another for the coach to send that player onto the pitch. That's not just tolerating corruption: it's legitimizing it. The case shows how much power other actors have in enabling the autocratic playbook. Stand firm!

I'm tired of switching around survey platforms from Qualtrics to Question Pro to limesurvey and so forth. Also tired to write code in small boxes instead of doing everything with code. I'm thinking about going formR with an own server. Any opinions on formR?
