Excited to present a new working paper by @victoriahaerter.bsky.social, @dweisstanner.bsky.social, @saengler.bsky.social &myself @unimainz.bsky.social! Public service deprivation influences vote choice,but what about policy choices? Swiss direct democracy provides a unique opportunity to study that

Good morning Lucerne! I enjoyed presenting our book manuscript on Swiss democracy @uniluzern.bsky.social, and got excellent input from engaged students! Heartfelt thanks @dweisstanner.bsky.social for the invite as well as to @victoriahaerter.bsky.social & @saengler.bsky.social for our lovely collab

I had a great time at the @ispp-pops.bsky.social conference in Prague last week! I presented a paper on value framing in Swiss voting guides and left feeling inspired by the people, projects, and conversations. Thank you to everyone who made ISPP 2025 such a fantastic event! #ISPP2025

Die Wichtigkeit solcher Themen wird leider noch viel zu oft ignoriert! Vielen Dank @nathalieherren.bsky.social für deine Offenheit und deinen Mut 🩷

That happened much faster than expected 🎉 My second article—and first solo-authored piece—is out! 🚀 What makes some people more prone to conspiracy beliefs than others? How do personal values shape these beliefs across Europe? /1 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Well, it's a first—thrilled to see my first ever article published🎉 How do people perceive the external groups of vaccine supporters and opponents? And how do their own moral foundations shape these perceptions? Joint work with @freitagmarkus.bsky.social & @mfilsinger.bsky.social /1

Happy to have presented our paper on value frames in voting guides at #SPSA2025. This project is special to me—not only because I applied my expertise in Large Language Models, but also because I have the chance to collaborate with a truly great friend @ivasrbinovska.bsky.social

Combining work with the charm of one of my favorite cities—what more could I ask for? I had an amazing time connecting with inspiring minds and diving deep into diverse areas of political science @alinazumbrunn.bsky.social @marta-antonova.bsky.social

A question frequently discussed in our group: As political scientists, when is it appropriate to express personal opinions? Can we share our views on issues that matter to us beyond our university role?
