🚨 New research: How Team Gender Composition Shapes Leadership Ratings Our study in Public Administration Review shows: 👩‍💼 Female leaders shine in female-heavy teams 👨‍💼 Male leaders shine in male-heavy teams #PAsky #managementstudies, #orgstudies, #mgmtsky

In einer völlig entgleisten politischen Einschätzung, in der die Union sich in der Mitte befindet und die AFD nicht am rechten Rand, bin ich erwartungsgemäß ein Linksextremist. Unsere Medien sind komplett im Arsch.

How do performance failures affect user satisfaction? With co-authors (Mads Thau and @nathanfavero.com) @mfalcon.bsky.social (assoc prof @pa-sdu.bsky.social), leverage a major negative news story on Danish social services that broke during the fielding of a user survey. In @pareview.bsky.social

Interviewing extremists, even critically, in mainstream news outlets normalizes and increases support for their views

Großartig zu sehen wie die Volksparteien Deutschlands, CDU und SPD, die Not der Stunde erkennen und staatsmännisch agieren, um die wichtigsten Richterämter des Landes zu besetzen. In Zeiten des Populismus und der Erosion von Legitimität und Vertrauen und Politik, wirklich erfrischend. /s

To be clear, the final vote in the House hasn’t happened yet. It has cleared a procedural hurdle to get to a floor vote, but the final vote is pending. It is urgently necessary to call GOP reps and demand that they vote down the bill.

This was absolutely my experience when I started at NIH in 2003. I was very impressed with how well run things were compared to my experiences in both academia and the private sector.

Social scientists should not use chat interfaces when using LLMs in their research: they are impressively inefficient, and obscure/impose important methodological decisions that require thought. THREAD🧵

Re-upping my advice about how to write a good title and abstract for an academic paper, appropriately called: "How to Write a Title and Abstract" Feel free to share this thread, which will focus on titles. #EconSky #AcademicSky

1/ In die Milliarden-Masken-Affäre von Spahn kommt neue Bewegung. Spoiler: Es tun sich Abgründe auf. Ein seit Monaten vorliegender Aufklärungsbericht wird im BMG unter Verschluss gehalten. Dazu, und was das alles mit dem Sohn von Helmut Kohl zu tun hat – ein längerer Thread 🧵

AJPS has for decades been recognized as one of the top two or three journals in all of political science. The central goal of the new editorial team is to maintain and, if possible, further strengthen this reputation. Read about the Editorial Principles at AJPS here: ajps.org/2025/06/05/e...

Im Wahlkampf hatte die CDU versprochen, dass „Rentnerinnen und Rentner“ mit der „Aktivrente“ bis zu 2000 Euro pro Monat steuerfrei „hinzuverdienen“ dürfen - was ja nur bedeuten kann, dass das zusätzlich zu Rente sein soll. (1/2)

Lindner: "Ich kann da durchaus argumentative Unterstützung gebrauchen." Porsche-Chef Blume: "Volle Unterstützung von Porsche Seite. Wir legen nochmal nach. Danke für Ihren Einsatz." Was sich der Finanzminister und der Autolobbyist zu E-Fuels und Verbrenner-Aus schrieben 👇

Über 3 Jahre mussten wir uns das E-Fuels-Gelaber der FDP und fossilen Lobby anhören, die damit den Klimaschutz zerlegten. Beide schossen sich die argumentativen Bälle hin und her. Ein unfassbares Paradebeispiel für fossilen Lobbyismus. Danke an @abgeordnetenwatch.de für die Aufklärung.

Holy, what's happening at #EGPA and #IIAS right now? Apparently, none from the Steering group will try to run for the EGPA presidency, none will pursue another term, there is no host uni for EGPA 2026 and the same group is establishing a new association "European Network for Public Administration"

Gute Neuigkeiten für die Wissenschaftspolitik: Ab jetzt kann man einfach Beliebiges behaupten, auch wenn‘s fernab jeder denkbaren Realität ist. Hier z.B.: wundersame Mittelerzeugung durch unsere lieben US-Spitzenforscher, die dann auch noch Bedingungen im dt. Wissenschaftssystem verbessern sollen. 🥰

Hallo Bluesky, ich brauche mal wieder Eure/Ihre Hilfe. An welchen deutschen Hochschulen oder Forschungseinrichtungen sind US-Fragebögen zu Diversitätsmaßnahmen etc. eingegangen? Bitte nur direktes Wissen. Wenn lieber persönlich, gern an: [email protected] Gern reposten und weiterleiten. Danke!

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Is everyone huffing paint? Crypto guy claims to have built an LLM-based tool to detect errors in research papers; funded using its own cryptocurrency; will let coin holders choose what papers to go after; it's unvetted and a total black box—and Nature reports it as if it's a new protein structure.

Bedeutet die Existenz einer "demokratischen Mitte", dass es auch eine "undemokratische Mitte" gibt? Oder dass es auch einen "demokratischen Rand" gibt? Frage für journalistische KollegInnen...

In contrast, we show that "any factual AI system ... is so astronomically unlikely to be anything like a human mind, or even a coherent ... part of that mind, that claims of ‘inevitability’ of AGI ... are revealed to be false & misleading. 7/n irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2023/09/17/d...

Nur 7 % der Geflüchteten in 🇩🇪 senden Geld ins Ausland, zeigt unsere Studie. Dies zeigt den Irrsinn der Einführung der #Bezahlkarte, bei der behauptet wurde, diese solle #Geflüchtete daran hindern, Geld ins Ausland zu überweisen. Unsere Studie: 1/5 🧵 www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....
