Together with @sarahgomm.bsky.social, we’ve wrapped up the workshop “Asking the right questions: harmonizing measures of climate policy support” at @ethz.ch. Two days of great discussion with 17 participants on measuring climate policy preferences in surveys. Thanks all! #ClimatePolicy

Over last years we established the AVERA Community Data Trustee to improve collaborative research on far-right online communication as part of the @dprex.bsky.social project. Here is a new paper describing the model. doi.org/10.17645/mac...
