This is absolutely bonkers. Not in my name! Full support to arming Ukraine so it can defend itself against this Russian war of aggression. If you don’t want to lose my support, take this motion back
@ucu

@UcuLeft
, do you understand that this is hugely damaging to the union?
We think UCU members should be outraged that the STW motion, calling in a few words with little explanation for an end to UK arming Ukraine, was passed. We look forward to working with the growing network of pro-Ukraine UCU members to push back, while organising active solidarity

Wow, this is quite an audit experiment: both in terms of the results and in relation to the hundreds of hours of reviewer time this probably took to complete.
How much does author prominence affect peer review?
🔹If referees can see that a paper is coauthored by a Nobel laureate, close to 80% recommend R&R or Accept
🔹The same paper is rejected by 65% if only the lesser known author is shown

Just cause we've been talking about strikes affecting political science for the past weeks ... here is what the LSE has been up to in the meanwhile. Some of us have been on half our salaries for 2 months now.
Today
@LSEnews
announced they will continue to punish striking faculty in a *grossly non-proportional* way, *ad infinitum*.
This means LSE is now one of the most punitive unis in the UK. I hope our new president is watching as trust between faculty and leadership is destroyed.

If there is one thing I'm certain about for the future, it's that there will be more null findings to come. This is not "unlucky" but an important part of doing political science in a way that is worth our time as well as the public & private funding we seek for our work.

One the more disappointing results over the past 8 years of field experimentation. We & partner orgs thought programme would work. Possible that reality of women’s experiences in politics decreases potential of behavioral interventions aimed at getting more women into politics.
"Our results suggest that female politicians who discuss their experience bluntly, instead of following a motivational script, may fail to motivate other women to pursue a political career"

Although I’m far from doing any 🚀-science,this is exactly the message my students need to hear every once in a while.I know we are selecting on the dependent variable but if you want my honest opinion, I believe curiosity & perseverance can take you far, in academia & elsewhere.
Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.
STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

I spent a couple of beautiful months in Kyiv last year, genuinely one of the most breathtaking & interesting European cities. It pains me to read the news these days. Thoughts are with Ukrainians who've been facing Putin's aggression & now again the spectre of escalating war.🇺🇦

and I randomly assigned members and supporters of a Swiss political party to receive phone calls from party HQ. We find null effects of these phone calls on self-reported party activism & engagement in the election campaign.🧵

This is correct. Having done two years of research on voter registration in the UK, I am convinced that registration should be automated; this bill will likely exacerbate already existing inequalities in turnout. It has partisan implications.
Voter ID would lead to the disenfranchisement of millions, even if local authorities provide ID for free. It’s an authoritarian solution to a non-existent problem, there was only one conviction for voter impersonation in 2019

Just want to say how happy I feel tonight for my American friends and for all of you who chose to make the US your home. The last four years were painful, and it’s not over yet, but I hope it’ll get better from here.

Increasing the barriers to voting for the most marginalised (there are millions of Brits without a passport) addresses an imaginary problem & biases the playing field in favour of the Tories since those affected will be predominantly young, BAME & poor:

One of the key people who has defined the DPE and QPE for the better part of a decade... I was lucky to work with (and literally next to) you for almost three good years. You'll be missed very much in London, my friend.
Hanging up the gloves…
After 8 years at
@Kingspol_econ
@KingsQPE
, it’s time to say goodbye. These years have been absolutely amazing, both professionally and personally.
I couldn’t dream of a better place to start my career.

Baerbock’s speech didn’t get much attention, but it’s very good. Acknowledges the u-turn in German foreign and defence policy for what it is and justifies it well. Speaks to the humanitarian dimension of war and directly to the generation of Germans who grew up in the 90s & 00s.
