Oh ffs. No, I do not want to "Chat with the PDF" of this interesting looking academic journal article I just came across. I would like to read it. With my own eyeballs. And think about it. You know, with that grey matter sitting between my ears. Just make it stop. #AcademicChatter

Hey climate experienced and climate curious political scientists: Send your hottest (!) climate paper to this @epssnet.bsky.social section 🔥🌱🔌 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This a.m. I spent 2 hours in a high powered international climate policy meeting focused on understanding mitigation narratives in advanced economies. Three personal and loosely elaborated thoughts on hearing the experts in the room (these are “technocrats” à la advisors in UNEP, EDF, etc).

Can someone program a bot to identify the most cited never-published papers and we take it from there

With the semester start, teaching starts! I usually compile a list of ressources for students to learn. Here are the ressources for #RStats : gist.github.com/brueckmann/f... Which R ressources does #PolSci recommend to students? Auch suche ich noch ein paar mehr Ressourcen auf Deutsch, danke 🙏

Not only are combustion engine "hybrid" cars a pretty nasty marketing scam run by car companies to trick well-meaning consumers into burning fossil fuels, the gap between reality and their claims is getting *worse* every year: www.transportenvironment.org/articles/plu...

🚨📈 Over the last 6 months a series of papers has advanced our understanding of the culpability of fossil fuel firms for climate change impacts. In April, @jsmankin.bsky.social and I showed that economic damages from rising extreme heat can be linked to companies like Exxon and Chevron. rdcu.be/ei0T5

Die SVP macht jetzt auch Industriepolitik – oder versucht es zumindest: Der Bund soll jedem Bürger auf Steuerkosten die rund 2000 Seiten des CH/EU-Vertrags ausdrucken und bei einer allfälligen Abstimmung zuschicken. Die Druckerbranche würds freuen. www.bluewin.ch/de/news/schw...

Getting ready for the new term #AcademicChatter

Abysmal idea:In times of increasing extremism in Germany & abroad, we need to strengthen the study of politics, not weaken it beyond recognition. Cologne is one of the best departments in Germany with colleagues doing world-class research on relevant topics. Hope the NRW government will think again!

👋Any #HTML or #Quarto experts willing to help me? My friend says when she clicks on the CV page ( brueckmann.github.io/cv.html ) on my website the PDF would automatically download. However, I am unable to see why that would happen and more, to prevent it. All help highly appreciated! Thanks!🙏

No, MDPI journal of the week, I will not accept your invitation to lead a Special Issue on a topic only mildly related to my research - or even one directly related for that matter.

Very interesting-looking study finding that "climate whataboutism mediates the relationship between nationalist attitudes and opposition to climate policies"

I am large, I contain multitudes (a microbiome)

Our review article on the use of climate change questions in public opinion surveys is now available in the current issue of Environmental Politics.

Take note, people who ask me about conjoint stuff :) Take note, me, too

Adaptation policy is way more costly than people like to admit

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life? Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social) Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Der neue Staatsminister für Kultur (-kampf) der zwar bislang nicht mit Aussagen zur Kultur aufgefallen ist, hat festgestellt, dass die Linke genauso schlimm ist wie die AfD. Wir dürfen also erwarten, dass die CDU die Linke jetzt ebenso knallhart inhaltlich stellt und deren Politik übernimmt.

Climate models since the 1970s nailed it—most predicted global warming almost exactly as it happened.

“statistics is easy, politics is harder”

What gif pops up when you write your surname?

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

We extracted all publications in all psychology journals from 2015 to 2025 and looked at their citations. The modal number of citations of psychology articles is zero. Identifying errors in just a small number of highly-cited publications will have an outsized impact on scientific knowledge.

I hope we make it. I hope my elderly mother who is so vulnerable will make it. But some, many, human and non-human, will not. The fossil fuel and livestock industries are angels of death, torching their way through Europe right now. t.co/YwTBoLGvSo

Academia is basically a collection of people who got lucky early on and mistook it for genius. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

I've grown up in a pubilc discourse dominated by the far-right that frames European integration exclusively as loss of sovereignty. But now, in the wake of Trump's 39% tariff bombshell, even the NZZ acknowledges: Similar non-EU countries long demonstrate that meaningful decision-shaping is possible

We found that the results of 42% of registered studies on the OSF are never publicly shared journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/.... Most common reasons are null results and bad logistics. Plan your studies carefully (equivalence testing and good time management) to prevent research waste!

People’s tendency to underestimate how much others support climate action is recurrent finding in empirical studies of climate policy support, and is a huge sore point for political climate action.
