Started the new semester this Monday in my new academic role at Masaryk University. Moving back to my home country after 17 years living abroad (6 in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and 11 in the Netherlands 🇳🇱). It’s been quite an adventure, and I’m looking forward to the new challenges ahead. 🎓🇨🇿 – at Brno, Czech Republic

Zahájeno! Dnes jsme oficiálně odstartovali dlouho očekávanou přestavbu železniční stanice Jihlava město. Během necelých dvou let zde vznikne moderní dopravní terminál, který propojí vlaky, autobusy a MHD. Cestující se mohou těšit na novou nádražní budovu s veškerým zázemím, bezbariérový přístup k nástupištím zajistí podchod s výtahy. Město Jihlava navíc přidá nové parkoviště P+R, okružní křižovatku a zeleň v přednádražním prostoru. Více informací v tiskové zprávě: spravazeleznic.cz/-/moderni-…. Spolufinancováno z Programu Doprava 2021–2027. 🇪🇺

@jstauber01 & @CirhanT explore the role of personalized party leadership through case studies of two Czech parties. The analysis demonstrates how significant personalization shapes party organization and voter behaviour, especially in a crisis.
