Me: Please contact me with any questions, always happy to discuss.

As @HumzaYousaf addresses Holyrood for the first time today since his resignation, I ask what could be next for the former FM. With the cause of Palestine close to his heart, could an international role beckon? Thank you @patricktheiner for the insight. https://t.co/XVtL1c2AYF

Very happy to have a chapter in this with my friend and colleague @jschwanholz on the (physical) architecture of German state parliaments! Thanks to the editors for this wonderful volume - get it now via open access!

[Sophia Psarra @SophiaPsarra]

Hot off the press! Our edited volume Parliament Buildings-The Architecture of Politics in Europe, a collaboration between @BartlettArchUCL and @UCL_EI is published today. Available to download for free from @UCLpress website https://t.co/EVwVxugh0X @HansardSociety

Pleasure to join @BBCBreakfast to talk about the chaos happening in British universities at the moment.

“I’d rather have a degree than @UCEA1’s thoughts and wishes” 👇🏼

[Patrick Theiner @patricktheiner]

@GebbieHope It doesn't. Leadership pushed rules changes allowing us to get everyone out the door, then acts surprised that not everyone immediately forgets process and professional standards. Preventable with explicit instructions, but seems uni didn't want to take the heat. Just a mess.

And there we FINALLY have it! I’ll be walking across the graduation stage with an empty piece of paper. No result.

If any VC or government minister ever tells you they care about students again, please politely tell them where to go.

This is a grotesque situation.

Love her data journalism

@CettaMainwaring @EdinburghPIR @EdinburghUni Welcome to Edinburgh, so excited to have you! I would say don't get used to the weather, but I'm sure Glasgow has prepared you well...

@Pynchon1 @ucu Look at hustle-man over here, bravely working past the time he's paid for, tweeting reaction gifs like it's 2018.

[Patrick Theiner @patricktheiner]

@WMoindrot @ucu That's great, but I wouldn't have tweeted it if I had gotten something. It's an email? Or something on the website?

[Patrick Theiner @patricktheiner]

@ucu I swear if I get told one more time at 4.50 pm on Friday that I won't actually be on strike on Monday I'm going to LOSE IT.

[Patrick Theiner @patricktheiner]

Local @ucu is great, but nationally a horror show. Mystifying strategy, overselling non-results, baffling comms, sidelining casual employees, poor survey design, weird internal drama, & general air of amateur hour. Don't want to leave, but don't want to be represented like this.

[Patrick Theiner @patricktheiner]

@ChVrakopoulos @EdinburghPIR Very excited to have you on board, Christos! We can always use help on the quants side 📊

[Patrick Theiner @patricktheiner]

Had a lovely chat with Kathleen Nutt from the Herald about the possibility of Nicola Sturgeon taking on a role at the international level - wasn't expecting it to go straight to the front page though!

Friday afternoon entertainment: ask ChatGPT about yourself and meet your alternate-universe version.

(Literally none of the things below is true: not the research, the journals, or the degrees!)

[Patrick Theiner @patricktheiner]

@cupofassam @RussellGroup The latest statement I can find is from the 17th, and that doesn't read like a contradiction to me? Could you point us in the right direction?

@Jess_Smith1534 @EdinburghPIR Welcome on board, Jess! We're very lucky to have you 👏

[International Affairs @IAJournal_CH]

Have you read the 'how not to' guide for international relations?
