Happy news: I’ve been granted a 3-year FWO postdoctoral fellowship! Starting in October, I will study how experts can get policymakers’ attention to their repeated warnings without sounding alarmist.

Tough times for someone finishing a PhD on (deep) uncertainty. Too many topical examples to pick.

I´m a public management scholar, dedicated to improving government performance. If the Trumpie sensitivity readers would go through my projects, they would have to stop funding to every single project I ever did.

It would be fun to have sideline reporters at academic conferences. Reporter: "Prof. Rothman, how do you come back from such a devastating Q&A? They really hammered you out there." Me: "All we can do is go back to the archives, find more evidence, and then just trust the process, Helen."

Speaking of those who dont want Ukraine to 'win', this kind of story will probably only grow in number. There is a group that has never wanted Ukraine to win, and would be happy to cut a deal with Putin. This would be a mistake of historic proportions. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u...

The conversations have included very broad outlines of what Ukraine might need to give up to reach a deal with Russia.

Kinda cool that Poland should neatly meet its native son Przeworski's definition of democracy: a system, in which parties lose elections. The definition's ingeniousness and elegance is confirmed, imo.
