Colleagues, @svenhegewald.bsky.social and I are looking for a student assistant (30-40h/month, remote work possible) in my ERC project RESPOL @politikuhh.bsky.social @uni-hamburg.de. Please let your most talented students know. 😀🙏
Together with Arndt, I will also be moving to @uni-hamburg.de and I'm just as stoked!
At the same time, I'm saying goodbye and thank you to TU Chemnitz, to all the colleagues who helped me get through the past three years (from feedback on my research to many travel expense forms) and to this city:
No beef with St Pauli there.
And with that, I'm closing a wonderful chapter at the Institute of Political Science at TU Chemnitz. Being an assistant professor of research methods there taught me so much. I am grateful to colleagues and students there for what I learned.

Somehow I always take up new positions on April Fool's Day but this is no joke: as of today I am professor of political science, especially methods @uni-hamburg.de.
Obviously I'm stoked to have landed a permanent position and look forward to working w/ great new colleagues @politikuhh.bsky.social
Super, herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Spread the word. Once we have enough testers together, google will generously allow making SciLove openly available through the App store.
This also makes it a much better metaphor for media markets, where social fragmentation and privatized market consolidation go hand in hand.
Warum sehen die Trikots der Nationalmannschaft aus als sei sie die Betriebssportgruppe des Konrad-Adenauer-Hauses?
Ich kann mich nicht erinnern wann zuletzt ein einziger Wal so viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen hat. Fühle mit allen Walforscher:innen, die jetzt diesen Einzelfall erklären müssen.
Thanks. I'll put it on the list for our next update.

Kürzere Laufzeit als die Ampel...

Berlin Halbmarathon, Ende Merz 2026
Landtagswahlen sind ein guter Moment um über (fehlende) Gleichstellung in Deutschland zu sprechen. In Deutschland gab es überhaupt nur 8 Ministerpräsidentinnen. 9 Bundesländer hatten noch nie eine Ministerpräsidentin. Maximal 4 gleichzeitig. Seit 1990 ca. 59 aus 576 BL-Jahren mit einer Frau.
Wenn heute in #RLP ein neuer Landtag gewählt wird, dürfen dort 16-und 17-Jährige nicht mit wählen, manche von Ihnen durften aber schon bei der Europawahl wählen. archive.ph/Tms58
Mit @br24.de sprach ich über das Für und Wider des Kumulieren und Panaschierens, wie es bei Kommunalwahlen in Bayern aber auch andernorts Anwendung findet. Auch im Beitrag, @danschindler.bsky.social vom @iparl.bsky.social. www.br.de/nachrichten/...

Looking forward to reading labor economists' papers in a few years on whether being cut off from ChatGPT increased or decreased productivity on 18 November 2025. #CloudflareOutage
Talk about critical infrastructure and overreliance on a single service provider. I can't access a host of websites, nor download academic articles, etc., because #Cloudflare has technical issues.
As I've heard the idea this week several times

There is no limit of being co-author only on two papers. No need to start strategically deleting names...
