kurzer Einblick @ndr.de in unser (m. @msaeltzer.bsky.social ) neues Projekt zur Verbreitung von Tech-Right-Ideologien, gefördert von der @volkswagenstiftung.de - ein ausführlicher Thread folgt…

Am i the only one who didnt like this game? It felt like a friendly, eager to please a neutral audience. Fanservice quite literally...

And if you stick around until the end (which you should), you can catch our session on "Strategic communication on social media" where I will present the @gesis.org BTW 25 candidate social media account collection done together with @msaeltzer.bsky.social @vigneshwaran-s.bsky.social and others.

Take that, Occam!

Die Novelle des #WissZeitVG ist ambitionslos und - mal wieder - wissenschafts- sowie karriereschädlich. "Zugleich entfällt allerdings die bisherige Möglichkeit, nicht ausgeschöpfte Befristungszeiten aus der Promotionsphase in die Postdoc-Phase mitzunehmen." www.jmwiarda.de/blog/2026/05...

I’m excited to share a new book, Reforming Primary Elections: Voters, Campaigns, and the Future of Congressional Politics, exploring how reforms could improve primaries.

We study how party polarization shapes affective polarization—with a particularly important role of the AfD. (1/7)🧵

A critique of our (w/ @bertous.bsky.social) paper “Instrumentally inclusive” has just been published. Our response is under review (see below on process) but we feel obliged to share our draft for balance since the comment has been released without the response. osf.io/rn6h3/files/...

🎉 New publication 🎉 Why do #youngpeople vote for the #AfD? This question has kept our research project busy for quite some time, so I'm beyond excited that our first article - co-authored with @timonscheuer.bsky.social - is now out in #GermanPolitics! 🤩 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
