The European Political Science Society is now accepting paper & panel proposals for its annual conference! 📢 Call for Papers: EPSS 2026 – Belfast
 🗓️ June 18–20, 2026
 📍 ICC Belfast
 📬 Deadline: Nov 7, 2025 🧵

Good news for European political science! Thanks for everyone involved who made this happen. Became an EPSS member today, and so can you! Very competitive fees that will go a long way to fund next year's conference and not just a reception ticket (some may say).

🚨Global public action (climate!) is most effective when countries do it together yet we're in a period of IO backlash rooted in left-behind places Does it mean all left-behind regions hate IOs the same? @patrickbayer.bsky.social & I have a paper accepted @bjpols.bsky.social abt this🧵 osf.io/rtymv

Getting a paper accepted is always nice, getting it accepted after almost two years in peer review feels super special! 🎉🎉🎉

🚨Climate politics job alert🚨 Interested in the opportunity to focus on your own climate politics research project for 1 year in a stimulating and supportive environment at a leading university in Berlin? Open to postdocs & graduates. hertie-school.dvinci-easy.com/en/p/en/jobs...

Looking forward to an exciting trip with colleagues to our long-standing partner, Nankai University, for a joint workshop on "New Trends of International Political Economy in Turbulent Times." @uofglasgow.bsky.social @uofgsps.bsky.social

"A new voting system and sausage sizzles" - excellent advice from @ariadnevromen.bsky.social in @scotsman.com on what the UK and Scotland can learn from Australia's recent election - and how to turn around the low voting turn outs that have benefitted Reform UK. www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

I hate academic FOMO! Enough said...

May I present the social science "double helix" of country engagement across topics... Not all plots are useful...🙃

Happy St Patrick's Day, I guess.

Proud to have pulled a basically accepted paper (with full consent of co-authors) from peer review today in response to questionable editorial practice to "force" us to add citations to five substantively unrelated papers that the editor was a co-author of. 🤯 #researchintegrity

More evidence that everyone who believes we still have time is a fool. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

At the IPCC scoping meeting—to draft the outline for the Seventh Assessment Report (AR7), w/200 other scientists and social scientists from around the world. To understand 30 years of inadequate climate action, & to do better, we need to understand intentional obstruction @climatessn.bsky.social

My earlier post in pictures. So true! 👌

Little website redesign. Full page is here: pbyr.github.io/website_new/ December is procrastination month! #backtowork

The amazing @chess.com commentary during the current FIDE chess world championship gives you an appreciation of how beautiful and cruel chess is. The depth of understanding for the game is so delightful to learn about. I'm fascinated each day!

Where do talks stand at #COP29Azerbaijan? What should you expect from week two in Baku? The recording of our #COP29 Halfway Point Webinar, with ENB's @jenirisallan.bsky.social answering audience questions, is online now Listen ➡️ soundcloud.com/user-1658009... #climate #climatechange

To mitigate my daily #COPfomo, at least there is the great work by @enb.iisd.org (as usual). Also: having done research on virtual negotiations (available #OA here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...), I can say that doing your day-to-day work at home while observing negotiations is impossible.

#COP29 is underway but the plenary session is already on hold. Let me re-up our (@acdatacollective.bsky.social) joint report with @anticorruption.bsky.social about the risks of co-optation by fossil fuels interests and corruption at COPs acdatacollective.org/work/cop-co-...

EU's #CBAM causing trouble in the opening hours of #COP29 already. Good reason to plug my #openaccess paper with Lena Schaffer about public attitudes re CBAM. TLDR: public opinion about CBAM is pretty malleable in four European countries (🇩🇪, 🇨🇭, 🇭🇺, and 🇬🇧) iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

And so it begins... #COPfomo

Reactiving this account for obvious reasons, starting with a new profile pic.

Absolutely delighted and immensely looking forward to this exciting workshop. Thanks to Michael Tatham and Marte Samuelson Skogen for fantastic organisation and for having me. @sampol.bsky.social

With the conclusion of the Transitional Committee #TC5 on loss and damage today, it's become clear that we're in for a though COP28 at the end of the month.

It's Friday afternoon and paper #3 is under review. Feeling young again. #postdoclife
