I had the great opportunity to present new work on primaries today at the Representation workshop in Zurich to a group of amazing researchers! Thank you @jochenrehmert.bsky.social
and @jbslapin.bsky.social for bringing us together!
A snowy Zurich today created a cozy atmosphere for our workshop on representation at @ipz.bsky.social
Fascinating & innovate studies on governments, representation, voters, parties & candidates! @reidingerve.bsky.social @lenamariahuber.bsky.social @donyhu.bsky.social @anacweeks.bsky.social & more!

Here as well now and realized the pain of searching for all the great people I follow on Twitter... I also realized that my network consists of much more men than women!

Can you help me find all these great female political scientists out here? -->
