Swiss Post is a truly iconic institution. It signals to citizens that “the state” will literally jump fences&arrive by sled to serve you. But what happens when it disappears? Thrilled to present @victoriahaerter.bsky.social @dweisstanner.bsky.social @saengler.bsky.social (EL07, 10:50/3b) #epss2026

I had a great time at the @ispp-pops.bsky.social conference in Prague last week! I presented a paper on value framing in Swiss voting guides and left feeling inspired by the people, projects, and conversations. Thank you to everyone who made ISPP 2025 such a fantastic event! #ISPP2025

Happy to have presented our paper on value frames in voting guides at #SPSA2025. This project is special to me—not only because I applied my expertise in Large Language Models, but also because I have the chance to collaborate with a truly great friend @ivasrbinovska.bsky.social

Combining work with the charm of one of my favorite cities—what more could I ask for? I had an amazing time connecting with inspiring minds and diving deep into diverse areas of political science @alinazumbrunn.bsky.social @marta-antonova.bsky.social
