@mcgregormt This has triggered some deep buried need inside me to start clipping some video

@MishaTeplitskiy I'm looking to get over to the other place, if you have one to spare and are willing to follow me for a DM. Thanks

[Dave Bracken @DaveB90]

@ellaudet I'm teaching experiments next week and will absolutely be using this, thanks for sharing!

This speaks to a lot of what I'm intrigued about in the current classroom environment

@NCFC_McG This hurts me on a number of levels

@prisonrodeo @keithschnak @PKellstedt For my sins, it's true. And anyway, how much worse can the season really get? Might as well bring back the vibes

[American Political Science Review @apsrjournal]

Is mass-level interparty hostility affected by the gender of those serving in office? James Adams, @DaveB90, @NoamGidron, @rwillh1, @dianazobrien, & @KaitlinSenk find women’s representation reduces partisan hostility.

A great summary of our recent APSR piece on women's representation and affective polarization

New APSR article co-authored by UCD Prof. Jim Adams, UCD grad. student @DaveB90 along with @NoamGidron, @RWillH11, @dianazobrien, and @KaitlinSenk on "How Women MPs Can Ameliorate Affective Polarization in Western Publics." Great work!

@dianazobrien @RWillH11 @KaitlinSenk @NoamGidron We find that parties that increase their proportion of women MPs receive an "affective bonus" from out-partisans, offering a potential route to decreasing affective polarization. Open access right here: https://t.co/yBIFkW0ohL

Great to see our piece on women's representation and affective polarization, with Jim Adams, @dianazobrien @RWillH11 @KaitlinSenk @NoamGidron mentioned in this Guardian article today https://t.co/CJFgg0of4X

@adamscottkunz On the other hand, I just had my second student write "Shame he's a Chelsea fan" on every box on my evals this quarter. I admire the dedication to the bit, but it doesn't make great reading in job apps

I'm teaching Intro to Comparative Politics in the new year and looking for some non-academic material to add variety to the syllabus: podcasts, documentaries, movies etc. Open to any suggestions! #AcademicTwitter

[Dave Bracken @DaveB90]

@poliscibitches I try to set a benchmark for what I expect from each level of work (and ideally have example assignments so students know that expectation), and grade accordingly. So if everyone can meet the A standard, great!

[APSA @APSAtweets]

Using original data on women reps. in 125 political parties over time, James Adams, @DaveB90, @NoamGidron, @RWillH11, @dianazobrien, & @KaitlinSenk show that increases in women reps is associated with decreases in affective polarization https://t.co/Xt2PY1Z7IG

[Dave Bracken @DaveB90]

Having two students tell me that my class (first as an instructor of record!) is their favourite poli sci class at Davis on the same day is definitely a new career highlight #AcademicTwitter

All good things have to come to an end. Thomas Tuchel’s reign as a Chelsea manager was undoubtedly a good time but it had to end – for his benefit and ours.

I will explain in this thread where things went wrong and why we had to separate.
