. Our poster encourages applied researchers to descriptively explore their data using Bayesian Change Point Analysis before running a RD design. Thank you for engaging this work.
@ProfYangZhang
As Renmin alumni, it's embarrassing that the school deliberately created for training party leaders has never ever produced any standing committee member. Not many Politburo members either.
Congratulations to my advisor Margit. It’s such an honor to be Margit’s student. I was literally in tears when she thanked her students at the end of her speech. 🥹🥹

After spending more than two months and more than $300, I finally got my Canadian visa. And it will expire on 09/30/2022, two weeks after APSA (which means I'll have to do it again in 2025).
I will vote for
@TomPepinsky
to keep APSA accessible to all students and scholars.
The best players of coordination games must be Chinese moms 👩. They always manage to give exactly the same amount of Lucky Money (aka Red Pockets 红包/利是🧧) to other kids as their kids received from other parents. ¡Without prior communication!
Thanks to
@jasonywu
for inviting me for a visit
@IUBloomington
. Had a great time presenting my paper "Normalization of Censorship" (👇) and got great advice from IU's PoliSci and China scholars on fieldwork before flying back to China later this month.
One great benefit of being enthusiastic about sports (football ⚽️ in particular) is that you learn by heart that results more than likely don’t go your way and you still have to live with it. 😢
Very very helpful for young academics.
Many thanks to our speakers for sharing their excellent research. Also, thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Comparative Politics Annual Conference. It was my great pleasure to meet with y'all!
We had a great day discussing cutting-edge research on media, misinformation and propaganda! Thank you all for participating in this year’s

@WeidenbaumCentr
What a crazy game! Glad that they didn't end up throwing beer bottles at each other. We would’ve been the first casualty.
Hope they all enjoyed watching me cheering for the Milan goals by myself 😂
This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester.
@MaryGao
@FT
Only anecdotal observations. There's been some censorship of nationalistic sentiments. Just as
@jessicacweiss
found in Powerful Patriots, CCP suppresses protests over Taiwan while allowing protests over Japan/US. But the public might be less forgiving of biding time over TW now.

@EmoryPolisci
Thanks Wayde! That’s very kind of you! I appreciate all your help throughout the job market season. Can’t wait to see you again soon!
Doing some casual reading of Canadian political history before traveling for APSA.
So... y'all China watchers keep yelling about social credit scores... and guess what... Canada actually had a *social credit party* for quite a while 😂
