@CruickshankPaul Huge congratulations Paul. The Sentinel will always hold a special place in my heart / brain - you and the team have worked magic with it over the years.

A personal note: Over the last 10 years, it has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as the Editor-in-Chief of CTC Sentinel, the flagship publication of the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to showcase the best and brightest scholars and practitioners in our field. It’s time for me to pass the baton. The publication will be in great hands with my brilliant colleagues Kristina Hummel and Don Rassler. I look forward to continuing my close association with the Combating Terrorism Center and CTC Sentinel. The faculty and staff at the center, past and present, are the very best of America. I greatly appreciate the trust that directors Colonel Sean Morrow, Brian Dodwell, and Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Bryan Price placed in me. Above all, I would like to express my thanks to our extraordinary contributors. They have greatly helped the counterterrorism enterprise. Who thinks wins.

Here’s a link to my interview about the work we do at ExTrac AI in this month’s edition of the @CTCWP Sentinel. Thanks @CruickshankPaul and everyone at Team Sentinel - it was a real honour to do this in one of my all-time favourite publications! ctc.westpoint.edu/a-view-from-th…

Happy to have contributed article to @CTCWP's Sentinel journal on post-Abu Ibrahim Islamic State (IS) 'caliphs',highlighting their obscurity but also how this hasn't broken IS's ranks.Also my first CTC article as an Associate of the Royal Schools of Music! ctc.westpoint.edu/caliphs-of-the…

🧵Thread 1/ Does a reply on Twitter from @elonmusk help amplify misleading information? While common sense tells us yes, facts & figures are helpful! In this thread, I explore to what extent Musk's endorsement of a misleading and racist tweet from @endwokeness helped amplify it

We’re detecting events in real time, so if the ceasefire collapses, it’ll trigger a surge alert so you can know when, where, and how it happened. If you’re an organisation that's aiding evacuation efforts or you have staff at risk, get in touch. Free access during the crisis.

It's finally up! My new long study for Current Trends in Islamist Ideology w/@charliewinter on Islamic State in Deraa province. Includes revisiting the group's earlier history in the area,killing of the group's last 'caliph', & some graphics on attack data hudson.org/islamic-state-…

We're helping to support evacuation efforts from #Sudan. If you have staff at risk, get in touch. Free access during the crisis. DM me for more info.

A few myth busting thoughts on the UK’s evacuation operation in Sudan: 1. The UK reacted as quickly (if not quicker in some areas) in standing up a evacuation force. 2. It will have to operate for longer and have greater capacity than other Nations with smaller national numbers.

@plichta_marcel hello marcel! Please could you follow me so I can DM you on something? Thanks!
