I'm a bit late to the party, but excited to finally join BlueSky!
Political scientist here—studying violence, peace, and public opinion. Always happy to connect, discuss, and learn. Come say hi! 👋
A quick 🧵 on what I study.

Het vereist journalistieke moed om te vertragen, context te bieden en nuance te behouden – zeker als feiten en emoties door elkaar lopen, en de heersende elite luid roept.

In het gesprek heb ik benadrukt hoe oorlogsjournalistiek in situaties van (gewelddadige) chaos en onzekerheid snel kan polariseren: redacties voelen enorme druk om direct te rapporteren, wat vaak leidt tot simplificaties die democratische debatruimte ondermijnen.

Zondag was ik te gast in Medialogica: “Een gitzwarte nacht” – een episode die de mediastorm rond de Amsterdamse Maccabi-wedstrijd en de beeldvorming daaromtrent onder de loep neemt.

Female academics are much more affected by the birth of a child than are male academics.
Academic mothers are much more likely to...
◾temporarily leave the labor force
◾and, if they return, shift away from tenure-track positions.

My dear friend and colleague @chrisdworschak.bsky.social is kicking off #NEPS2025, presenting fascinating work with @kmross.bsky.social on conflict forecasting using… music data! 🎶📈
“Rhythms to riot” is already setting the tone for a brilliant few days of peace science!

Students were challenged to “find significance” in a fake dataset using researcher degrees of freedom 😅 shinyapps.org/apps/p-hacker/
Key lesson: flexibility isn't bad—but without transparency, it’s dangerous.
