I stand for peace and justice for Israel 🇮🇱 and Palestine 🇵🇸

3/3

Not “destruction”.

See captions from @haaretzcom.bsky.social (Hebrew and English version).

Regards of semantics, these are the predominant voices you hear from Israel for a while now.

This must stop. It stands in contrast to all the Jewish values I was raised to uphold. 2/3

I suspect there is a seniority gap here (seniors focus on framing/ contributions, juniors on methods/data)..

But do we know research expended faster then population growth? I’m not sure…
What I would believe is that reduction in relative real wages & increased competition for talent is driving the best talent away from (academic) science. But the jury is still out!

Thanks for tagging me @mattsclancy.bsky.social

I did not explicitly test whether null effects (e.g., on policy citations) are tightly bounded, but a quick look at the CIs exclude meaningful increases, the link attached will lead you to the full draft. Happy to hear your thoughts.

I am very thankful for the continuous support of my senior colleagues, and their constructive feedback.

Much work to come!

Oh, and a massive shout out to @hckongsted.bsky.social who is (among many other things) the man behind PhD day :)

It was even more special as I took the stage a bit after Astrid Thomsen, who brilliantly presented our coauthored paper “From the ivory tower to Capitol Hill: Which academics get a voice in congress?”

I presented my paper “Being your own master: How constraints on academic freedom affect firm performance”, coauthored with @hckongsted.bsky.social and @valentinatartari.bsky.social.

Congrats!
