Calling Electoral Politics People 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Running a Holyrood '26 prediction model for undergrads to get them into quant methods. They're tracking constituency + list polling, which are then dynamically fed to this dashboard (knutley.github.io/STAEM_Project/). What modelling approach would you suggest?

Any insight into how this was structured, documented, or signed off by your university would be hugely helpful. Feel free to comment below or drop me a message directly. Thank you in advance! 🙏

I have a really big opportunity and need to demonstrate that full-time internships can form an integral part of a PhD programme. I'd especially love to hear from anyone whose internship wasn't originally a formal requirement of their degree but was still approved as part of it.

To my network — especially PhD students in the UK 🎓:

Have you completed a full-time internship as a PhD student on a Student (Tier 4) Visa in the UK?

Finally, a political issue I can actually discuss with my dad.

Britain Lost 14,000 Third Places. They Were Called Pubs. Is Your Local Next? How private equity reshaped the local and the postcode tool that shows the pubs most at risk.

Amazing analysis of pub closures in the UK, by @laurenleek.eu, and the corporate interests behind them. Some important political and policy implications open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

Yesterday, @elisaadamico.bsky.social and I presented our R&R'ed paper, "The Conditional Influence of Environmental Protest on Climate Policy" @standrewsir.bsky.social. Huge thanks to @jkaarbo.bsky.social for being our discussant. And to Holly Marshall and Camilo Ardila for organising the session.

See you all in Belfast! 🤠

Huge thank you @ucdpolitics.bsky.social for hosting us at their "From Promise to Practice: Decoding EU Climate Policy and Politics" workshop. @elisaadamico.bsky.social and I presented work on the linkage between environmental protest and policy outcomes and received some really valuable feedback.

This feels especially poignant.

Submitted my application to be @apsa.bsky.social discussant/ chair this year. Hope is strategy, I suppose.

I've learned that Edinburgh University is planning to cut 20% of academics in some departments

To decide who gets the chop, they generated an academic contribution metric that is a raw count of *any type* of output, including book reviews.

The management of UK Universities continues to amaze

Academic consensus increasingly seems to be a thing of the past, except where chain emails are concerned.

I did add a bit of excitement to an otherwise routine day, though.

Yesterday, @britishacademy.bsky.social hosted ECRs at @vadundee.bsky.social. It was wonderful to learn about the Academy's work, share insights with peers, and connect over our passion for research. The breadth of work done across Scotland is remarkable, and I'm grateful to be part of the community.

An opportunity to work with one of the kindest, most generous people in academia. 🍏

If you're not using scirev.org for journal submissions yet, you should be. It's incredibly helpful, and it gets better as more people contribute their experiences.

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

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.

Application Deadline: December 15, 2025
