👨💻 Started to work with big data and did some benchmarks with medium datasets (400k–3.5M rows, up to 490 MB).
📊 tl;dr → polars (lazy) is crazy efficient; duckplyr is a solid R-native alternative.
Thinking of pushing this further with larger datasets 💡#DataScience #RStats #Python

🎉 I’m excited to share that I’ve started as a Data Scientist at CEPTRO NIC.br! I’m thrilled to take the leap into a new path where I can apply my experience in quantitative data analysis, data management and visualization. (1/3)

Finally, my (probably last!) research article has just been published in Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft. 🥳 This study explores the relationship between media use, trust, and political orientations. The findings reveal that both media use and trust vary depending on the type of media.

@ggalbacete.bsky.social et al. add an additional facet by including gender in their analysis of political interest among adolescents with and without immigrant backgrounds. Their findings show that immigrant‐origin girls have the highest levels of political interest. DOI: doi.org/10.17645/pag...

@phil-k.bsky.social et al. study political interest as an essential determinant of political participation. Their findings show a positive relationship between discrimination and political interest. DOI: doi.org/10.17645/pag...

Very happy that the Special Issue is now out. We contribute with two pieces from the EU-funded www.gepic.eu project @g-epicproject.bsky.social

Are young people and immigrants heard in politics? Our new open access issue summarizes research on how they participate, showing where they are left out and what affects their involvement. @wurthmann.bsky.social @martingross.bsky.social @kirareneekurz.bsky.social

I'm happy to see two papers from my last academic job (@g-epicproject.bsky.social) going public! 📚 These explore youth political involvement, intersectionality, and discrimination effects. All OpenAccess here: https://doi.org/10.17645/pag.9309 and here: https://doi.org/10.17645/pag.9286

Frustrado com a exportação de RTF do #Lattes 😥? Comecei a construir um template para fazer isso fácil com #Typst 🚀, mas ainda em construção 🚧. Contribuições bem-vindas. #Lattes #Typst #Ciencia #Brasil #CNPq https://github.com/philkleer/create-lattes-cv

Finally! 🥳 After a month of handling documents, I'm feeling grateful and excited to have completed my residency application during my holidays here in Brazil. Looking forward to the future - hopefully in Brazil 🇧🇷

🚀 Released a Typst-based template for an academic modern CV on https://github.com/bpkleer/typst-modern-acad-cv. Organize academic achievements easily or switch languages. You can also import it directly in typst. Check it out! 😊 #Academics #CVTemplate #Typst

🌍✈️ Concluding this year's conference season at the #ecprgc24 in Dublin! 🎉 Join me on Thursday, at 11:15AM, Newman Building, Room F103, as I present my research on the effects of discrimination on political involvement among youth.🗳️👥 I'm eager to share findings and discuss with fellow scholars.

🚀 Just entered the Typst world and wow 🤯! It's so fast and easy compared to LaTeX 😍. Excited to share my new Typst package for Academicons! 🎓 Check it out and let me know what you think! 👉 https://github.com/bpkleer/typst-academicons #Typst #Academicons #OpenSource

Nearly 9 years at the University of Giessen flew by in the blink of an eye! 🕰️ From the grind of my PhD to an unforgettable 6-month postdoc stay in Brazil, I've made memories for a lifetime! 🇧🇷 🌟 I'm especially grateful to Simone Abendschön for her incredible support and mentorship. 🤗 (1/2)

Finally, I got my result on the Celpe-Bras exam! 🇧🇷 This was my first exam in years, and although I was nervous through the 4hrs-exam 😥, all went well. I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of my partner and friends in Recife 🙌: Jarbson, Danilo, Robeyoncé, Ali, Gustavo & Matheus

🇧🇷 Just wrapped up my Celpe-Bras exam after spending 6 incredible months in Brazil! 📝 It was a long day, but the organization at Friedrich Schiller University Jena was spot on. Now, the waiting game begins! 🤞 Can't wait to see how I did! Results coming in July! #PortugueseJourney #LanguageGoals

If you are starting to learn 🇧🇷 Portuguese, maybe this little app might help you to get a start on conjugation. I wrote it along learning, and now it's free on the App Store. While it may not be the fanciest or most comprehensive tool out there, it's perfect for a start apps.apple.com/de/app/apren...

Happy to see this piece of work finally out! 🎉 🥳 doi.org/10.1016/j.el... @michaelhunklinger.bsky.social

📚 Reflecting between years, I dove into a book on transitioning from academia to the outside world. 🌎 Excited to hear your thoughts on leaving academia and how you managed to do so! What's your recommendations and perspective on this?🤔 #CareerTransition

🇧🇷 Halfway through my stay at UFPE in Recife! 🌴 I met fantastic colleagues and celebrated Christmas at the beach for my first time!🎄🏖️  Getting more and more into planning my future here, hints about finding a job as foreigner in Brasil are welcome 🤔 #expats #jobsearch #brasil

📢 My presentation with Irene Arahal Moreno within the GEPIC lecture series of our dive into political engagement through a systematic literature review is now YouTube! 🌐📚 Check it out: m.youtube.com/watch?v=UXzJ...

In Berlin werden gerade besonders ehrenamtliche Einzelvormund:innen gesucht - wer vorher Erfahrungsberichte mag, ich stelle gern den Kontakt zu jemand her, der schon dort aktiv ist.

🌟 Delighted to share that I started as a visiting postdoc at UFPE in Recife today 🇧🇷 The next six months promise enriching network endeavors and collaboration. Excited to contribute and learn in this vibrant city 🏖️

Thrilled to be a first-time reviewer for EU projects under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme! Delving into innovative initiatives promoting fairness, inclusivity, and fundamental rights across Europe. #CERV23 #EUCommission

Found a neat way to simplify my Quarto presentation routines without copy/pasting from one file to the other. Developed a local R package for creating a file based on a draft.qmd and installing useful extensions (imho). #Quarto

Just sent a pull request for the github.com/quarto-ext/f... #QuartoExtension #FontAwesome, updating the quarto-extension to FA 6.4.2! X-Twitter should now work. #Quarto @quarto_pub

Thrilled to be in Prague for the #ecprgc23! Can't wait for an exciting week of panels and papers. Looking forward to our panel on citizenship on Wednesday (PRA074)!

Downloaded #ICCS data sets for the first time. Handling data sets in SPSS isn't my jam. I imported/reorganized the data in R (single files, country-wise, region-wise)! Interested how I did? buff.ly/45zYRVE How do you approach this kind of problem?

Thrilled to be a reviewer in the 'Freiraum' program by @inno_lehre ! It's exciting to dive into the innovative teaching idea. Can't wait to discover new approaches and contribute to shaping the future of learning! #Freiraum #InnovationInTeaching #Hochschullehre

Recently discovered Quarto From using multiple languages and code integration to interactive elements, it's a game-changer for researchers. Highly recommend giving it a try! 1st try: bpkleer.de/public/quart... #Presentation #RStudio

Excited to be visiting our project partners at @UC3M to wrap up our literature review for the #GEPIC project! Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such amazing colleagues! #research #collaboration #GEPIC @ggalbacete @GEPICproject #uc3m #JLUgiessen

In a new publication, Simone Abendschön and I explore youth online literacy. We could show that youth struggle to distinguish information, opinion pieces, and PR pieces. See: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1... #media #youth #news #literacy ift.tt/DWnlNms

Nearly a month ago, I gave a presentation on using git and CI in teaching at hackyhour Giessen. I summarized parts of the teaching project in a post on blog.bpkleer.de/hackyhour #git #teaching #r #ci ift.tt/ugOhKEi

Just made a move towards Quarto! Switched to Quarto and transformed my blog. I love the seamless feature integration. blog.bpkleer.de #quarto #rmd #blog ift.tt/WuBYf0H

Finally. Alle Formalitäten erledigt und ab nun Doktor :-)

Mittwoch bin ich bei der #Hackyhour Giessen und stelle vor, wie man CI in der #Lehre einsetzen kann. Mehr Infos hier: hackyhour.github.io/Giessen/ #JLUG
