Can banning political ideologies protect democracy? 🛡️🆚🗣️ Our (w. @valentimvicente.bsky.social) paper finds: punishing individuals might backfire. We study a West German policy banning "extreme left" individuals from working for the state. #Democracy #PoliticalScience 🧵 url: osf.io/usqdb_v2

The largest Danish retailer, Salling Group, will mark all products from Europe with a star, helping customers select European rather than American products. The continents are drifting apart at both the macro and micro level. Danish news story here: www.dr.dk/nyheder/peng...

Just did the proofs for this short methods paper that I really like! Not everyday you get to 'solve' a problem identified 30 years ago in some of the most widely used statistical models in #sociology 👀 - and with two super awesome collaborators, what a blast 🥳

I have received a request to review from the Israel Science Foundation today. I have declined it. My email reply below. My position is similar to @philipncohen.com : I do not collaborate with institutions linked to the Israeli government. But I do collaborate with individual researchers.

Sollte es dereinst noch liberale Historiker geben, dann werden sie ueber das 21. Jahrhundert schreiben: Erneut verfiel das liberale Buergertum einer irrationalen Furcht, dieses Mal nicht vor Kommunisten, dieses Mal vor den Woken (USA) und den Gruenen/Shitbuergern (Deutschland).

Refugees in 🇩🇪 are not allowed to relocate for some time after arrival. We know this is bad for integration. So, once they are allowed to, refugees move to places with opportunity, right? On average: no, as @mschaeffer.bsky.social and I show in a new publication @scmrjems.bsky.social . Thread👇

In 2024 work in @pnas.org, @amir-ghasemian.bsky.social and I explore “The Structure and Function of Antagonistic Ties in Village Social Networks.” At the population level, the existence of antagonism has important implications for the overall structure and function of human groups. #HNL 1/

Bsky is being flooded with German speaking AI powered bots. A thread on why this is important, ultimately making all social media is unusable. #deutschland #trolls #AI #election 1/ What happened? All these responses to a @zeit.de post have something in common (spoiler: they are not real):

This work has implications for a radical idea: diseases formerly thought to be biologically non-communicable (e.g., obesity, depression, hypertension, arthritis, etc.) may actually be (somewhat!) communicable, via the spread of the microbiome. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 13/

We can actually predict who your friends are based on whether you have similar bacteria in your poop! And that metric outperforms other more usual social features, such as how you resemble your friends on a host of traits like age, sex, wealth, etc. 7/

New paper published @ajpseditor.bsky.social Showing that reduced access to public services fuelled far right support in 🇮🇹 Existing work on far right highlights globalization & migration grievances, what about people’s experiences with the state? We use 🇮🇹 reform to find out shorturl.at/zQ8bJ

Why does integration sometimes lead to more #discrimination? In our survey experiment on the “integration paradox“, immigrants & descendants who learned about research on discrimination against immigrants were (20% of SD) more likely to disclose personal experiences. doi.org/10.1111/pops...

In most places in the world, power from new renewables is now cheaper than power from new fossil fuels. Why did renewables become so cheap so fast? The answer: learning curves.

Why are civilians abused and killed in during conventional war? Using data from Ukraine, Julius Koch and I put forward a new explanation: The threat to combatants posed by long-range weapon technology.   The paper is here: osf.io/z38sq/ , and we would be grateful for comments!

Thanks to @carlsbergfondet.dk for funding this research!

(1/7) 📢 New research alert! Even when people are shown clear evidence of #discrimination, it doesn‘t change their support for anti-discrimination policies. Read @kkrakows.bsky.social, @asmusletholsen.bsky.social, and my article in @ajpseditor.bsky.social to find out why: doi.org/10.1111/ajps...

Does childhood exposure to coethnics impede or promote the acquisition of citizenship? In a new article in @pnas.org, I show that the modest presence of coethnic peers in school increases migrant children’s probability of getting 🇩🇰 citizenship later in life. 🧵👇 1/15 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Reiterating this is a really interesting thread and Rao’ss work is compelling and important. Like I said, it convincingly illustrates “Wilensky’s Law”: the more policy evaluation, the less policy reform. read.dukeupress.edu/jhppl/articl...

Some claim discrimination audits create unethical bureaucratic burdens. Yet, they likely don't criticize the same about IRBs/ethics reviews. Why? Both ensure ethical standards. Audits monitor the fundamental right to equal treatment. #discrimination #ethics
