New #OpenAccess Paper Alert! 🚨 In @apsrjournal.bsky.social, @gmcclendon.bsky.social and I present results from a collaborative field experiment with the Institute for Governance Reform around a switch from plurality rules to closed-list PR rules in Sierra Leone’s 2023 parliamentary elections. A🧵:

Vietnam ⬇️ "Vingroup has told Vietnam's government it wants to ditch ​a plan to build the country's largest LNG-fired power plant and embark on a renewable energy project instead, as ‌the Iran war has boosted the risk of the fuel becoming too expensive" www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

You see this chart and you will likely go "Look, this is why we must move to clean energy." Not so fast. Higher fossil fuel prices make green alternatives more attractive, but they can also make it harder to deploy renewables. Story with @lauramillan.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’m thankful and impressed by my colleagues who assembled the US Academic Alliance for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (USAA-IPCC) and my professional society @agu.org for hosting it.

I have a new paper. We look at ~all stats articles in political science post-2010 & show that 94% have abstracts that claim to reject a null. Only 2% present only null results. This is hard to explain unless the research process has a filter that only lets rejections through.

”What turns people into radical jihadist clerics? A new book suggests thwarted career ambitions.

chicago says: ICE OUT EVERYWHERE. Sun. 1.25 @ 1pm. Ida B Wells & Michigan Ave.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Protester in Minnesota: I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry *disappears into gas*

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

I'm hiring two three-year postdocs and an RA for my project on how police presence affects perceived safety. I'm looking for candidates who can contribute to the theoretical development and who have strong expertise in causal inference. Deadline: March 1. www.stillinger.aau.dk/videnskabeli...
