Excited to see new work on the politics of Covid border closures—smart design, rich data, and important findings.
Grateful to see my borders papers contributed, and even more so to see the research carrying the torch forward with more fine-grained data. This is how knowledge builds. 👏

On Friday, I finally got a formal (rejection) letter for an exchange EU-US Fulbright Fellowship I applied for (pre-Trump), was interviewed for, and selected for—but ultimately, the State Department de-selected me without any explanation.
They didn't award anyone else the position either..

Since I moved to Germany from the US academic environment, people have asked me how Trump's attack on science has affected people here. I honestly wish I did not have a concrete, shocking example to share. I knew a Trump presidency would, again, have far-reaching impacts, but I didn't expect this.
