Visiting Prof EconHist at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Phd @ FU Berlin | First gen | HPE of Imperial Russia, Soviet Union and GDR. Revolutions, deportations and indoctrination…. the fun stuff. Spatial, network theory, micro data, machine learning, AI
Uuuh- field trip to parallel discipline: the SPANDE Development Econ workshop! Very excited! 🤩

As Econ Historian, I will call it “methodical cross-training” rather than “productive eavesdropping” - 😎

“Home [Baltic Sea] is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place” …🎶🎵

Been coding 19th-c anti-Tsarist activists (with a bit of LLM help 🤖). Some were terrorists, many were accountants 🧾💥 Honestly, I like to imagine they all looked like Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2—brooding, revolutionary, and not just good with ledgers… deadly with double-entry bookkeeping 🕶️📉✊

Uuuh… thrilled (and slightly confused) to share I’m now a 2x Marathon Finisher!! 🏃‍♀️🏁 Only took me seven years to come back for round two. Turns out 42.2 km still hurts just as much.

Endurance, stubbornness, and questionable life choices? Oh absolutely: ✅✅✅

Fantastic Scoping Workshop on the Historical Political Economy in Europe! Who knew PoliSci and EconHist do not wear such different hats?

Huge thanks to @lhaffert.bsky.social @cathrinmohr.bsky.social @beckerbastian.bsky.social for an inspiring deep dive.

Learned a lot!
