@nick_petrovsky Have a safe trip Nick!

Why do MPs, supposedly dignified representatives of the people, sometimes physically attack each other in some chambers but not in others? After 4 yrs my co-author @moritz_schmoll and I are happy to see a paper trying to answer this question out w JCR 1/ doi.org/10.1177%2F0022…

@drjennings @unisouthampton @RoperCenter @_johnkenny @AndraRoescu @StuartSmeds @KathleenWeldon @pete_enns @benatipsos @KellyIpsosUK Hurrah!

@vlachantoni @ESRC @SouthCoastDTP @_GlennMiller All the best Glenn! You were very helpful during the course of my study.

@justin_ct_ho Strange conclusion... Perhaps the authors suggest the computers are expensive... And the programmes mean Windows and Mac OS....

I don't know the authors use what "often-expensive program" to do computational research, but last time I check Python and R are both free. With Colab, I would argue that one can already do basic stuffs with a computer that has a browser installed.

Good news for Windows #RStats users: R 4.2.0 (just released today) uses UTF-8 as the native encoding. Working with non-Latin text in R on Windows has been a pain in the a**.

Some good memories there

@ejfagan @JawsPoliSci @bark_tracey @BrookeNShannon @herschelfthomas Nice idea!

🚨Policy Scholars 🚨Based on the success of @JawsPoliSci, @bark_tracey, @BrookeNShannon, @herschelfthomas and I would like to announce the Policy Studies Workshop. We invite junior scholars studying public policy to workshop early projects via Zoom. 🧵

@ejfagan Hello from HK and am still struggling with stringent lockdown policy here. Have fun there.

Thanks, MPSA for a great conference! I’m both exhausted and energized after seeing so many friends and colleagues and so much great research!

Our call for papers is out: runi.ac.il/en/research/ca… Please join us at Reichman University on July 10-12. @policyagendas

@justin_ct_ho Positive or negative liberty?

I moved from the country known for its bad food to the country of amazing food, then to the country with the most libertarian culture at the dining table.

#SOTU2022: Defense and Foreign Affairs took up 21.5% of last night's speech. That's high for recent history, more than typical for Obama or Trump SOTU. However, not historically high and expected given the war in #Ukraine. 1/4

@kslharrison @Demos Congrats Kate!

Excited to share that from today I am Lead Researcher at @Demos! I've been working towards a think tank role for a long time so I can't wait to get started.
