You can personalize chatgpt in the settings and tell it to alwqys format ggplots in a specific way (probably incl. favoring pointrange over point + segment)..

Revs: Make clear the research design does not establish causality.
-> Do that.

New Rev: "Please, please stop the obsessive reporting on how every little tweak gets you closer or farther from causality .. causality is a theoretical concept .. there can never be a statistical solution to causality."

I feel overwhelmed and incredibly honoured to announce that I have been awarded an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant for my project “VisibleQueers”, fully titled as “Making the Queers Visible: Partisanship and Support among Sexual and Gender Minorities in Eastern and Western Europe”.

Neu im @pwportal:
Wir starten die PPRnet Brief Serie zur politischen Machbarkeit von Klimapolitik mit der Einleitung: „Klimapolitik – aber machbar“.

Warum Klimapolitik nur wirkt, wenn sie tragfähig ist

Cool (and a bit scary), thanks.

Did you also ask, why it chose this description? As in: are white males more approachable than black women?

📢 Our latest research (with L. Rudolph, @uni-konstanz.de) on operationalizing natural experiments, particularly extreme weather, has just been accepted @thejop.bsky.social 🌦️Natural experiments offer a unique way to analyze causal effects in real-world settings. But operationalization is often messy:

Dass das 2025 tatsächlich eine interessante Headline ist, ist total verrückt.

Hopefully, you will be just as interested tomorrow when I show how citizens on both sides of the climate cleavage accept undemocratic means to achieve their goals (and that many hide this willingness from us researchers...)

Bonus: This time, I can actually corroborate some hypotheses.

Full house for the first panel at the @dvpw.bsky.social comparative section meeting organised by @politicsunisaar.bsky.social. Thank you for smart suggestions, valid criticism and to the co-panelists for making this a great conference start.

For everyone arriving early: Find me in the first panel - discussing why climate concern could decrease democratic support, showing that it does not, and trying to figure out why.

Maybe we will never know... But I am sure there at least 5 people currently checking whether they can justify causal claims about exactly that with a unexpected event during survey design ;)

Its either voting against those in power or whoever ist most "trendy" at the time. Looking forward to many studies on the Linke's social media campaign...

We submitted a paper to a Top20 journal 132 days ago.

- It took 60+ days and two reminders to be assigned to an editor.
- Seemingly, no desk decision is made yet.
- Didn't get a reply for my last two mails asking about the status.

How is this how academia works...

Wenn wir umbauen, aufstocken, Dachgeschosse ausbauen, nachverdichten und Leerstandsflächen nutzen, können bis zu 4 Millionen neue Wohnungen
entstehen. Schnell, günstig und ökologisch. #Quadrell

Ein Plakat vor einem Altbau zeigt den Text:
BEZAHLBARE MIETEN
#Wir wollen nicht nur neue, günstige Mietwohnungen bauen,
#sondern auch die Mietpreisbremse verlängern
#und Schlupflöcher für möblierte Wohnungen schließen.
Eine wirkungsvolle Mietpreisbremse gibt es nur mit uns.
Daneben das Logo von Bündnis 90/Die Grünen.

Jede dritte Wohnung in den fünf größten Städten wird laut Immobilienportal Immoscout24 möbliert angeboten und damit die Mietpreisbremse häufig umgangen. Diese Ausnahmen wollen wir abschaffen und die Mietpreisbremse endlich scharf stellen, denn die Mieten müssen unbedingt runter. #Quadrell

It's almost like winning a dozen of one-score games doesn't translate all that well when it really matters in a single game...

Ups, sorry.

Is it possible to provide numbers by sub-topic? Speaking to colleagues I feel like 'Political Psychology' could deserve its own track, but maybe that's just my bubble...

Hey hey, thanks for setting this up. Could you add me to the list? :)

I couldn't find any information online about registration fee (for online participation) - do you know how much it was in previous years? Asking for a funding-limited PhD Candidate ;)
