Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Today is one of those days that I am disappointed in our profession. Reading a referee letter suggesting a rejection based on two points completely covered in the paper is disheartening. 5 years invested in an RCT to be rejected because of someone's inattention. 380
Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 04/04/2025We had an amazing time this week hosting @arielkalil.bsky.social from UChicago in Potsdam & Berlin!

Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Interessant, dass Bildung es nicht einmal auf diese Liste geschafft hat, oder? Es ist ja nicht so, als hätten wir da ein Problem oder so. 030
Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Merz said yesterday he will not allow the country to be led by a red-green minority. The red-greens have around 35%, while the CDU has~ 30%. If the CDU sees itself as the majority, that only makes sense if they’re counting the AfD. Merz now sees his party and those to its right as the true majority. 020
Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Merz and CDU seem to not have understood how multiple-party representative democracy works. If you can pass a certain proposal only with the votes of a non-democratic extremist party, this should signal to you that the whatever-proposal is not democratic. And the FDP goes along. This is a dark day. 050
Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 29/01/2025I’m honestly puzzled as to why conservative parties ignore the ample research showing that when they adopt extremist positions, they fail to lure voters from those parties and instead normalize them. By proposing a hardline stance on migration, Merz is merely benefiting the AfD. 040

Im Diskurs der letzten Tage werden die Themen Migration und innere Sicherheit eng verknüpft. Der Zusammenhang zw. Migration und Kriminalität ist Gegenstand aktueller Forschung, die aber zu anderen Schlüssen kommt. (1/2) 12311
