Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic.

We carry out the first cross-national comparative study, examining 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not so much a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

This was a lot of fun to make! Please watch/read our new post-election analysis of the UK GE.

In short, the Liberal Democrats benefited from tactical voting when they were the main anti-Tory option!

My article "Policy Discounting Across and Beyond the Lifespan" was published open access over the weekend @EJPRjournal. It shows that people prefer policies with short-term payoffs, but not because they will personally live to see those future benefits.

@ProfLizJEvans and I have a new article out: "Someone Like Me? Disability Identity and Representation Perceptions". https://t.co/qT0KlvIrhT

Through survey experiments in UK+US we found:

🦾Disabled citizens feel better represented by disabled than non-disabled candidates. (1/3)

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!
