Good morning all political scientists! APSA isn't just my favorite conferenceโ€”I just found out that economists have proven it boosts your chances of finding productive research collaborations! Shoutout to Fernande Leon & team for the research! ๐Ÿ™Œ @apsa.bsky.social

What really annoys me about media coverage of alt protein as a researcher in this space is that there are reams of open-access, easily findable peer-reviewed paper, some of which researchers like myself and Matt have then translated for a popular audience, and that just don't get used as sources.

Excited to share our new paper โ€œRepresentation at Risk: Evaluating Levels and Consequences of Violence against Immigrant-Background Politiciansโ€, accepted at APSR! Co-authored with @nazita.bsky.social. Available at: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Do women earn less than men because they are less competitive? This awesome paper by @ErnestoReuben, Paola Sapienza, and @zingales shows that once we measure earnings some years after graduation, competitiveness does not explain the gender gap (or predict earnings) ๐Ÿงต 1/7

Polisky! With @danieladonno.bsky.social @parzetterberg.bsky.social, we are excited to share this new open access article in the American Political Science Review. Can autocrats burnish a reputation for democracy by advancing womenโ€™s rights? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My recent paper in Economic Journal: In the Econ job market men and women are recommended differently: letters for women stress hard work, those for men more likely highlight brilliance. This affects job placement. Link to Paper: t.co/HUieaMuERd With Giovanni Facchini and Markus Eberhardt

"Women spend so much more energy being nice to people in the workplace! When will they ever get credit for that?!โ€ This audience question is common in our public talks about research on gender equality in the labor market. Our new paper gives striking evidence on this point. 1/7
