Diese Studie ist eine Sensation: Heike Klüver hat 1.237 Regierungen in 57 Demokratien über 50 Jahre ausgewertet. Die Schlüsselfrage: Werden Rechtsextreme „entzaubert“, wenn sie mitregieren?
Die Antwort – eindeutig: Nein. Sobald rechtsextreme Parteien an der Regierung sitzen, profitieren sie.

We now check manuscripts for the possibility that AI has been used to produce the paper. Springer's system does some automated checking but doesn't catch everything.
So, in certain situations we check the refs for hallucinations.
Latest manuscript: multiple hallucinations. Author will be banned.

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026.
😵💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA.
👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things.

I still don’t understand why we’re not adjusting the semester dates such that the teaching ends before the summer heat kicks in? If the University of Mannheim (and many other institutions worldwide) can do it, we can too. What we’re currently going through is completely avoidable.

Tweet von CDU:
Wir halten Wort. Wir machen Deutschland wieder sicherer. Mit dem Beschluss zur temporären Aussetzung des Familiennachzugs hat der Deutsche Bundestag heute eine wichtige Entscheidung zur Entlastung der Kommunen beschlossen.
Die Union schreckt vor keiner rassistischen Abscheulichkeit zurück. Nicht nur beendet sie (zusammen mit der SPD) den Familiennachzug. Sie begründet ihn auch noch mit einer Verbesserung der Sicherheit, so als ob nachgeholte Frauen und Kinder unser Land bedrohten.

Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.

In a second paper with @turnbulldugarte.com, we ask: Does working-class descriptive representation enhance perceptions of system legitimacy?
Using two survey experiments, we argue that (1) it does, quite a lot (2) this is for candidates and institutions (3) it is conditioned by class identity.

In the German system, the professor is
- supervisor
- employer
- examiner
of "their" PhD students.
Plus, they usually function as gatekeeper to the relevant scientific community.
What can possibly go wrong? 🤔
