Had a great time presenting new research on policy diffusion & legislative behavior at @ucph.bsky.social & served on a dissertation assessment defense. Bonus for professional trip to University of Copenhagen in the early winter - visiting the Christmas markets!

FOX News has incorrectly labeled Utah & SC as Democratic gerrymanders (!) even though their states are R trifectas. Utah's congressional map is 4-0 R; and SC 6 R-1 D. #redistricting
