Been too distracted here to post, but thrilled this article with @RenanahJoyce is finally out, wherein we take a non-tautological look at the relationship btw extremism and terrorism. doi.org/10.1017/S15375…

@JJMichalek Big difference between oil supply and supply of minerals needed for green tech: latter don’t need constant supply to keep energy flowing. So there are supply chain vulnerabilities, but they aren’t nearly as crippling as choke points for oil.

In the 1970s global oil supply disruptions sent shock waves through the economy. As we shift away from gasoline toward #EVs, we need to anticipate new potential supply chain vulnerabilities so that we can act strategically to mitigate risk. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s_ene… 🧵 2/9

@cdsamii @alex_scacco @apsrjournal Fair enough. I’ve long wanted to run an experiment on QJPS (or other single blind joirnals’) acceptance rates, but haven’t ever managed to do it. If you figure out how to do it for APSR let me know.

@PageFortna @alex_scacco @apsrjournal It’s not all I’m doing! This is the qualitative phase.

From a few recent results I am led to believe the @apsrjournal is systematically desk rejecting field experimental studies that test policy interventions. If you have submitted a study along those lines and have received a desk reject please reach out to me.

Methane accounts for 1/4 of climate impacts! Treat it like the harmful pollutant it is, bad for our lungs & the planet. @GovKathyHochul, PLEASE block S6030/A6039? #FossilFueledHochul

@dandrezner @JohnHolbein1 Not just overused, but misused.

@JohnHolbein1 Extant.

What’s the most overused word in academic writing?

As we stare in horror at #Ian on this dark day, remember 2 things 1) the sea level at Tampa starts a foot higher than during the last great hurricane of 1921, and 2) warm air holds more water vapor than cold, making rainfall records likely. The climate crisis sets the stage

Columbia’s Dept. of Political Science is hiring in IR at any academic rank. Priority areas listed in the ad: apply.interfolio.com/112468. Please share and apply! Deadline is October 6.

@tanishafazal @DrTraceyK @mkguliford I don’t think experimentalists would say I have addressed it sufficiently! We need better methods for studying processes that are inherently endogenous and/or reciprocal.

@laiabalcells Glad to have you as a member of the electorate!

Personal news: I am now a United States citizen 😄

Will be interesting to see if GTD codes these assassinations by Ukrainian partisans against collaborationists as terrorism. They certainly do in other contexts. nytimes.com/2022/08/17/wor…

@ruajournalist Happy to be in touch. I’m headed into a meeting right now but can be reached later today to discuss at +1 503 548 7429. Can you let me know the subject/angle of the interview?

Wow, watch my colleague Alessandra Casella slay the manel with cool confidence. So impressed.

@GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, and @CarlHeastie! New York State needs you to be bold climate leaders and pass the Climate Can’t Wait package of bills THIS YEAR!

@iTolj @ForeignAffairs @bfwalter @HowardLise Otherwise it’s like saying I know people who died after getting chemo so cancer treatment doesn’t work.

@iTolj @ForeignAffairs @bfwalter @HowardLise As we say in the article and the longer review article, PK is not a silver bullet, it does not succeed in every case. But the world focuses on the failures. You have to compare outcomes where PKers are present to those where it isn’t to see its effects.

A greater U.S. commitment to UN peacekeeping could bring more stability to the world and save countless lives, argue @bfwalter, @HowardLise, and @PageFortna. And if Washington doesn’t step up, Beijing will—possibly to the detriment of U.S. interests. trib.al/fy85p2I
