Re: protests in Nepal. Restrictions on social media platforms may be part of the story, but that is not all this is, not by far. Nepali youth are tired of what they see as failures of governance, corruption, and the lack of opportunities. This is a tragedy.

The title is a bit cheeky (you cannot predict earthquakes precisely understood, though it *is* true that another earthquake in Nepal is certainly a 'when' and not an 'if'), but very cool to see our lab mentioned in the Nepali Times-and by a fellow Kenyon College alum! nepalitimes.com/here-now/yes...

Beyond polarised narratives, district level factors influence the way Republican House candidates discuss climate and energy. Really happy to share this working paper.
Check out my new working paper with amazing ND grad students Bill Kakenmaster and Ben Francis
We show, among other things, that climate attribution among R House candidates depends on district-level climate vulnerability and fossil fuel employment reliance

I tested how well different election dashboards implemented common dataviz accessibility princples, and explained where things went wrong (including lots of demos).

Hi, new skies. I'm a postdoc at the Perry World House policy institute at Penn, and I've published on emissions & democracy and women & reconstruction & out migration in Nepal. I write R packages, and my claim to fame in the old place was a tweet where I geeked out about my first package.

Great thread! I realize the disaster lit is vast and wide (and I had a whole pandemic to get into it after I was evac'ed), but I wish poli sci would engage it more as the field (rightly) turns to the pols of climate and the environ. There is so much critical work here. No need to reinvent the wheel.
To climb onto one of my favorite soap boxes, proponents of equitable climate adaptation would do themselves a favor by learning from decades of work on addressing the root causes of disaster risk. It is a deep, complex and nuanced body of work, and here are a few places to start:

For my dataz literacy folks: How are we teaching people how to read charts now and how has it changed over time? Is there a #dataviz equivalent of phonics vs whole word chart learning? I'm reading some articles about the current challenges with traditional literacy and wonder if we have it too.
