Between this and the rainfall paper @jon_mellon is becoming the new causal inference boogeyman. Looking forward to reading this one!

Pretty messed up that a guy wins a Nobel prize when he’d be not-yet-up-for-tenure at some unis.
UChicago alum John Jumper, SM’12, PhD’17, shared the @NobelPrize in Chemistry for developing the AI model AlphaFold, which predicts the structure of proteins. He is the 100th member of the UChicago community to earn a Nobel Prize. Learn more: ms.spr.ly/6014mxiuy

✅: Indoctrinated a new set of undergrads into my conspiracy theory that the only thing preventing a separatist war in Alaska is oil revenue disbursement.

Fascinating discussion of new research by @sukrit_puri —>
In the latest episode of the 2024 job market series of @IdeasofIndia I speak with @sukrit_puri, a PhD candidate in political science @MIT about the entanglement between business and politics in India. We talked about how family firms versus management run businesses give political contributions, the mandate for retroactive transparency in the electoral bond scheme, and much more. @mercatus mercatus.org/ideasofindia/su…

Hopefully, this does the trick! I am on the market. I do work on conflict and polarization. I am especially interested in understanding how institutions shape intergroup relations! You can read more about my work at: chagaiweiss.com/
Academic job market candidates: PLEASE add a line to the front page of your website that says something like "I am on the 2024-25 academic job market." This might sound silly but it makes it much easier to tell who is looking for a job now.

As ever, perceptions of whether a given attack in war is “precise” or “indiscriminate” align with people’s prior views of the perpetrator, esp for those not directly in the line of fire I studied this years ago in the case of US drone strikes in Pakistan: jstor.org/stable/48597370

Actually giddy to see the American Community Survey in my mailbox this afternoon. Does anyone know how I claim my share of the citations?

How do you design credible, interesting social science research about politics? I dunno, but hopefully some of the pieces on this (brand new) syllabus have the answer! dropbox.com/scl/fi/7m5mjaz53…
