🚀From theory to practice in political science! Our UiS political science students just ran an experiment to test whether party cues shape young people’s political opinions in Norway. 🔍Their question: Do voters support reforms more when the proposal comes from a party they like? ✅Result: They do!

Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

**New working paper** AI is reshaping how we work. This makes some people more productive - but exposes others to job and income loss. I explore how this affects people's political attitudes and preferences using data from the @ess-survey.bsky.social and indicators of AI exposure & complementarity.
