Excited to share a bunch of new SciLove features that hopefully makes keeping up with new papers even more fun and effective. Thanks to all who I talked to at conferences this past month @epssnet.bsky.social @ces-europe.bsky.social - it's fantastic to develop this from inside the community, enjoy!

It was great to be part of the very first #EPSS2026 and learn about so much exciting research! I was also amazed to meet so many early adopters of SciLove. If you haven't checked out my "Tinder for academic papers" - maybe do it while you wait for your bus/train/plane back home. www.scilove.app

Welcome to the treatment group!

I wrote up a few thoughts on the need to amplify human judgement in the research process, and how tools like SciLove can help 📰 "AI Is Making It Harder to Keep Up With Research — The Surprising Reason Why" medium.com/p/ai-is-maki...

How can mainstream parties respond to the radical right? Great discussion of the empirical literature by @hannohilbig.bsky.social

Many of you have asked me for a full-blown desktop version of SciLove. Here it is! 👇 My favorite part is the redesigned feed: now features a progress bar plus an article queue so you always know what’s next.

AI has made app development easier than ever. My friend @alexakbik.bsky.social -- whose advice helped me greatly in building @scilove.bsky.social -- put together some super sharp guidance on how to approach and navigate the rapidly growing jungle of new tools. Check it out and follow him!

In most advanced democracies, newer generations and younger citizens are less likely to vote. In this new paper, Thomas Jocker (@uva.nl) and I ask *why* this is the case. We try to answer this question by analyzing the answers that *non-voters themselves* give to this question 👇

Very much looking forward to presenting new research with @hannaschwander.bsky.social about an unexpected driver of redistribution preferences. How does ☀️ affect demand for redistribution? Tomorrow, 3pm, Pompeu Fabra. Drop by if you are around! @politiquesupf.bsky.social

This is one of my favorite SciLove features so far. @scilove.bsky.social 📈 Discovery progress tells you how up to date you are with research recently published in your favorite journals. Hope you like it as much as I do!

❤️ SciLove has passed 400+ users in a little over a month since launch. 📱 Your positive feedback pushed me to ship native iOS + Android apps. Hope it makes keeping up with research even easier. Try it out. www.scilove.app - App links below 👇

I think Ryan is right here: As knowledge production becomes easier, the hard task becomes its consumption. It's also why I'm building @scilove.bsky.social - hoping it will help with this task!

How and why does support for redistribution change across the seasons? ☀️ Excited to present new work with @hannaschwander.bsky.social tomorrow at the University of Barcelona. Drop by if you're in town.

I am looking for a postdoc to join my team at the University of Bremen. 5-year-contract, top-up to 100% possible for most of the contract period. Apply by 04 May 2026. If you have questions about the position, send me an email! www.uni-bremen.de/en/universit...

The best political news in a long time and a special joy for a CEU alum! 🇭🇺 🇪🇺

Excited to be in Barcelona until the end of May. Hit me up to grab coffee and chat research or all things AI. Thanks to @ibei.org for hosting me!

I'm working to hard make SciLove available as a self-standing app. 📣 If you are an Android user, you can help out by becoming a tester. What's in it for you? Early access to a fully functional beta version. Simply join the group of test users and install the app: groups.google.com/g/scilove_be...

Spread the word. Once we have enough testers together, google will generously allow making SciLove openly available through the App store.

Also finding it hard to keep up with new research? I built something to fix this. SciLove — swipe through recent papers in your field. The feed learns from your saves. Also matches you with researchers saving your work back (opt-out if you prefer). www.scilove.app 3,000+ journals, updated daily

SciLove is one week old. 280 researchers across 33 countries, 2,025 papers saved, 14k+ swipes. Thank you to everyone who tried it early and provided feedback. Little tweaks and new journals have hopefully already improved the experience. Here's what the week looked like. 🧵

Casual methods also taking over at Oxford 😍

Keeping up with research just got a lot more fun! @beckerbastian.bsky.social has built something genuinely clever: a “Tinder for science” that helps you discover papers in a much more intuitive way. If you’re tired of endless PDFs and search queries, give it a try 👉 www.SciLove.app

📊 What matters most to you when discovering papers? 1️⃣ Recency 2️⃣ Close to my interests 3️⃣ Directly useful for my work 4️⃣ Popular with others 5️⃣ Top journals 6️⃣ Something else I’m building SciLove to make it easier to keep up with new research — what would you prioritize? (just reply with a number)

I'm not saying I'm old but I did just discover what swipe directions mean on Tinder by figuring out SciLove and learning it was based on Tinder.

Nice!

Check out this goated tool created by my colleague 👇

Such a great idea! I just played with it a bit and it seems to be a very promising new tool (especially for such interdisciplinary freaks like me who needs to keep tabs on journals from at least three disciplines):

For all new SciLove authors: If you want your articles to get a little more engagement: Simply import publications via ORCID and then hit share. Shamelessly, this is what this looks like for a recent paper with @norawaitkus.bsky.social #openaccess www.scilove.app/article/10.1...

What an amazing idea! Just tried it and already learned a lot about new interesting research - highly recommended!

Wow, almost 150 users on just the second day!! 😍 Let me know how you think @scilove.bsky.social could get better, especially if journals you like are missing. I'm updating the list constantly. (📧[email protected])

I spent 15…30…45 minutes with this last night. Very cool. I would love to see a proper app, though it works as a web app.

Goodbye "I think we follow each other on Twitter." Let's make it "Hey, I think we connected on SciLove!"

This is how SciLove.app works: Discover — Swipe through a curated feed of recent papers in your field Collection — Go through your saved papers, rate and export them Connections — Connect with others who save your work back (optional) Profile — Learn more about your own taste and publications

basically tinder with academic articles but really fun to use (and the articles do not unmatch you...)

Keeping up with new research isn't always easy. I've built a new tool to change that, and to make it more fun: SciLove - check it out! #AcademicSky #OpenScience #PhdLife

With rising populism and affective polarization globally, are the two entwined? Stefanelli & Castanho Silva explore in their paper from our Feburary issue and find that the relationship isn't as straightforward as we might assume. Read for more on their findings doi.org/10.1111/pops...
