Had a stellar time at Brandeis University for the Gender & Political Psychology Conference, where I got terrific feedback & met so many superstars! A million thanks to @cruzita.bsky.social, Jill Greenlee, & Zoe Oxley for organizing #GPP2024. I feel so very lucky to have attended! 📊

Pneumonia is no joke. Way worse than my COVID ever was. In and out of the hospital, tons of meds, and the worst brain fog and fatigue ever. Luckily it was only the right lung.

Stefanik's Elevate PAC was founded to elect more GOP women to congress, but their website is dead + Open Secrets shows them giving lots of their money to men this cycle 🤷‍♀️ I wrote about how we got here for the 538/ABC liveblog where we are following today's primaries: abcnews.go.com/538/live-upd...

Republican women's groups are investing in fewer races this cycleabcnews.go.com Follow 538 for live updates on the Maryland, West Virginia and Nebraska Democratic and Republican primary elections for U.S. Senate, U.S. House and governor.

I wish applications for grants/fellowships/etc. gave some sort of feedback? It's hard to know how to improve since the whole process is just a black box.

The LA Times does a good job covering housing issues, but the only headline to these sorts of stories should be "Houses are one million dollars" People are leaving CA because houses are one million dollars. People are unhoused because houses are one million dollars. www.latimes.com/california/s...

California exodus left a gaping population hole. Can the Golden State bounce back?www.latimes.com More than half of California's counties have populations lower than they were in 2019, according to data from the state Department of Finance. The state has yet to recover from the exodus.

Yanna Krupnikov and I have an article out in the APSR! Bottom line: women generally have a harder time than men changing the public's mind about security. And while the public credits both men and women veterans with higher leadership, it doesn't listen to them on security either. 🌐 t.co/LtkjIkKyKO

Really sad to see happening in my home state.
