My paper with Chris Krewson (@BYU) and Jessica Schoenherr (@UofSC_PoliSci) is available with open access on Research & Politics! Using digital trace data, we find that the ProPublica story on Clarence Thomas increased info seeking about #SCOTUS by 300% 📈https://t.co/1w6cTh4hU2

I really enjoyed this short piece by @NateGrubman on recent events in Tunisia. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in how autocrats manipulate public discourse!

It was such a pleasure discussing @SierraThomander’s paper at @gpp_polisci today. She’s doing fascinating work on women candidates & the pipeline to office! Can’t wait to see more of it!

Watching @k_stauffer receive the @mwcps_tweets Early Career Award yesterday will definitely be a #MPSA2023 highlight for me. She’s incredibly brilliant and a generous mentor and advocate. Still pinch myself that somehow I get to call her such a close friend. 🎉🎉🎉

[Monica Komer @MonicaKomer]

I’m excited to be part of this great #MPSA2023 panel w/ @MedDhiaH @hmridge & @NateGrubman. If you’re interested in quasi-experiments and/or public opinion in the MENA region, join us today at 3pm!

MENA friends: We’ve rightly focused on Turkey & Syria this week.

But I kindly ask you spare a thought for #Tunisia, where more & more pro-democracy ppl—many of whose only crime is criticising 🇹🇳’s president-turned-putschist, Kais Saied—are being abducted & abused.

A short 🧵:
