I had a great time at the @ispp-pops.bsky.social conference in Prague last week! I presented a paper on value framing in Swiss voting guides and left feeling inspired by the people, projects, and conversations.

Thank you to everyone who made ISPP 2025 such a fantastic event! #ISPP2025

Die Wichtigkeit solcher Themen wird leider noch viel zu oft ignoriert! Vielen Dank @nathalieherren.bsky.social für deine Offenheit und deinen Mut 🩷
Im Rahmen des Fokus' "Forschung aus Betroffenheit" des Forschungsmagazins #Horizonte durfte ich mit Katharina Rilling über meine rezidivierende #Depression & unsere Forschung zu politischen Konsequenzen psychischer Belastungen sprechen.

Well, it's a first—thrilled to see my first ever article published🎉

How do people perceive the external groups of vaccine supporters and opponents? And how do their own moral foundations shape these perceptions?

Happy to have presented our paper on value frames in voting guides at #SPSA2025. This project is special to me—not only because I applied my expertise in Large Language Models, but also because I have the chance to collaborate with a truly great friend @ivasrbinovska.bsky.social

Combining work with the charm of one of my favorite cities—what more could I ask for? I had an amazing time connecting with inspiring minds and diving deep into diverse areas of political science @alinazumbrunn.bsky.social @marta-antonova.bsky.social

A question frequently discussed in our group: As political scientists, when is it appropriate to express personal opinions? Can we share our views on issues that matter to us beyond our university role?
