I was asked to review for www.frontiersin.org - when I clicked through, not only do they tell me who the author is but you will also be listed as the reviewer if the article is published. What fresh new hell is that? Anyone seen this before? Is this a predatory journal?

It’s good to be back at the @mpsa.bsky.social women caucus lounge. Come say hi!

Women's representation has been stagnating around 30% for the past 30 years, after peaking at an all-time high of 36.4% in 2013—only to decline since. 32.4% after the 2025 Bundestag election. This is not progress. #GenderEquality #Politics #Bundestagswahl #Bundestagswahl2025

End of a successful writing retreat with my fabulous coauthors Louise Davidson-Schmich and Farida Jalalzai. Who thought writing about gender, crisis, and leadership could be such fun? #gendersky

It’s been a while in the making but the stars finally aligned and @dratchison.bsky.social and I are hosting a global politics teaching workshop with @apsa.bsky.social

Academic beehives 👋 - if you had chat bot to answer student questions about your class, assignments, writing etc. what questions do you wish the bot could answer?

Suggestions? I've been using Notion to organize my research, life etc. but it is just too complex for what I need. I tried Bear Notes (1.0) & Evernote before but neither was the right fit. Any apps you love that allow you to take handwritten notes and have a Mac desktop version?

Heading to @winls.bsky.social conference starting tomorrow and I cannot wait to see everyone!!!

Question - who can see your posts? Only people who follow you? Everyone who also follows the same feed? Is there a way to make sure that your post to go to a specific feed? The internet was not helpful answering this. I assume there are no hashtags yet?
