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 article out in @pnasnexus.org with Sascha Riaz and @heikekluever.bsky.social: “Temperature and aggression revisited: Evidence from 1 million amateur football matches” 🔍 Open access here: doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

Wondering how to wrap up your @epssnet.bsky.social experience? Join our panel on "Violence, Incentives, and Participation in an Authoritarian Regime" at 15.20 at ICC Hall 1D! I am looking forward to sharing a joint project with @heikekluever.bsky.social and Anselm Hager on Interwar Berlin.

Why is the Europe-wide strive for power by radical right parties not sparking more of a reaction by opposing voters? At #EPSS2026, I present what if hopefully only the beginning of a project on that question. Come around and tell me what you think 🤝 📅 Friday, 9:00-10:40 📍 Boardroom (Hilton)

🚨New publication! Thrilled to finally see this paper out in @psrm.bsky.social 🎉 📊I study how gender shapes coalition preferences among politicians. Turns out mayors prefer forming governments with women-led parties, perceiving them as better communicators and more competent governors.

Political Science Research and Methods@psrm.bsky.social · 6mo ago

🧑‍🤝‍🧑Do politicians consider the gender of leaders when selecting coalition partners? ➡️Using a conjoint on 979 Spanish mayors, @albahuidobro.bsky.social finds that mayors, especially those on the center and left, prefer coalitions with parties led by women www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

Has anyone written up best practices for data sharing and data protection in RCTs conducted with NGOs/partner organizations? Bonus if the best practices are informed by GDPR? I am thinking Gerber and Green 2012 style, but more specific on the logistical details.

Happy that our paper with @bogatyrev.bsky.social, @tabouchadi.bsky.social, @heikekluever.bsky.social, and @lstoetze.bsky.social found a home at @thejop.bsky.social. You can read it here 👇 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... Thanks to all the fantastic people giving feedback and supporting us
