I did it! I am now a tenured professor! Turns out I do belong after all! So grateful for everybody who supported me and pushed me all these years—from a small-town boy in post communist Bulgaria to a tenured professor @ Georgetown. Yabadabadoooo! Wow! Phew!

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. Here's mine: -How fields and norms co-evolve, such as 'transitional justice'. -How to theorize stupidity in IR.

Rates of anxiety and depression are slightly higher for PhD students (5.1%) than those who left graduate school after their Masters (4.2%)--and this gap grows larger over years of the PhD. But it is still lower than other 20-39 year olds (6.1%) and the general population. jtag.se/pub/workingp...

Constantly striving to be the best doesn’t make you the top performer. A meta-analysis of 25,000 people found no relationship between performance & perfectionism. Instead, perfectionism is related to greater anxiety & depression. When we overdo it, we harm ourselves. www.wsj.com/health/welln...

The large majority in most fields (but not you, sociology) is in favor of preregistration. www.nature.com/articles/s41... The minority that debates it's usefulness mainly does this bad on low quality arguments (or, for a small group, on bad faith interpretations). >
