I am so sorry to hear about Torbjörn's passing. He was a great scholar & a genuinely generous person. As one of my MA thesis supervisors, he was the first senior academic who made me feel that my opinions on coalition research were worth taking seriously.My thoughts are with his family & loved ones.

Just heard of the passing of the Swedish political scientist Torbjörn Bergman, with whom I did some work a while back that allowed me to spend a few fab days with him up north in Umeå. He was a great scholar - particularly on coalition politics - and, most importantly, a really lovely bloke. RIP.

Really sad to hear that Torbjörn Bergman passed away. I had the pleasure to meet and to work with him as a junior scholar, and will never forget his kindness and his enthusiasm. This came way too early and my thoughts are with Torbjörn's family and close friends.

I am really happy to share that on 12 June, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation in political science. The defence was a lot of fun. This was in large part because of my great opponent, @henrikseeberg.bsky.social , who initiated a challenging and intellectually engaging discussion.

Excited to share our new paper in @thejop.bsky.social with @krausewe.bsky.social! Parties polling just below an electoral threshold are far less likely to clear it: a self-fulfilling prophecy that diminishes when polls communicate uncertainty. 🗳️📊 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
