Hive mind, please help me out!

I need a more informative and explicit subtitle for my upcoming #RStats book "Model to Meaning"

The premise is that analysts should often transform coefficient estimates into more meaningful / interpretable quantities like predictions, risk differences, slopes, etc.

People often overestimate how many others share their views—a phenomenon known as the false consensus effect.

In a new article in @ispp-pops.bsky.social, @clandwehr.bsky.social, Philipp Harms and I show that this tendency is associated with stronger populist attitudes: doi.org/10.1111/pops....

how it's going...
A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections".

Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x)

Während wir den Bund um Gelder für #Spitzenforscher bitten, sitzt der "Durchschnittsforscher" an seinem PC von 2006 und schreibt einen Drittmittelantrag zur Verlängerung seiner auf 10 Monate befristeten 50-Prozent-Stelle, während es durch das undichte Dach ins Büro tropft. #IchBinHanna

Eventually, I managed to fall for what one might call an "academic scam".

Since this publisher seems well known in STEM but hardly in social sciences (at least, I haven't heard warnings before), I would like to spread the word:

"Don't review for MDPI!"

Does someone here have experience doing meta-analyses and/or familiarity with political knowledge as a variable of interest? I have an idea for a paper... #polisky

Query for the polisky community: Does anyone know of research (e.g. psychology) exploring why far-right voters appear "forgiving" of party leaders whose identities or lifestyles contradict their core principles? I am thinking of far-right leaders who are openly LGBTQ+ or who belong to wealthy elites

#PoliSky I have a friend doing a PhD at a German university. They study gender and leadership. They are looking for another PoliSci or Public Policy scholar with whom they can discuss some challenges in writing their dissertation. DM me if you can help them.
