Very insightful - even as someone who has failed a lot, I felt like I learned something.

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.
 CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.
 But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.

As a South Carolinian, I'm particularly sad to see this is the state of our politics. Goodstein has been associated with numerous high-profile rulings and this comes after she issued a ruling against Trump.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 10d

Authorities are investigating the cause of a fire that engulfed the home of Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein, in South Carolina. Three people, who had to be rescued by kayak, were injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation. nyti.ms/48j9GPY

At @i4replication.bsky.social it is our ambition to foster a replication culture in the social sciences – and we hence welcome if our approaches are replicated as well: Replication Games on using LLM in experiments, in Valencia and Oxford. talkingtomachines.org/projects/ime...

Yesterday evening, I gave my first invited talk at @economia-ibero.bsky.social. It was incredibly rewarding to present my research on protest policing in liberal democracies to such an engaged group of students. 👩‍🏫

I do genuinely believe in quantitative and qualitative approaches to political science and am a strong advocate of mixed methods. That said, I've just used the magick package in R to make this novelty hat and am now accepting nominations for "least helpful contribution to methods discourse".

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026.

😵‍💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA.

👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things.

Are you interested in social class? I've two working papers which show:

1️⃣ Using actor recordings of different accents, that people derive class from accent and this causally influences trait evaluations

2️⃣ That class-based descriptive representation improves support for the political system.
