Visiting Prof EconHist at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Phd @ FU Berlin | First gen | HPE of Imperial Russia, Soviet Union and GDR. Revolutions, deportations and indoctrination…. the fun stuff. Spatial, network theory, micro data, machine learning, AI
- Also came across: “a vocabulary teacher at the Institute for Noble Maidens.” Not sure if he led uprisings... but if anyone was silently plotting revolution with a thesaurus, it was him. 🕯️📚🧾 - so rich data
- Been coding 19th-c anti-Tsarist activists (with a bit of LLM help 🤖). Some were terrorists, many were accountants 🧾💥 Honestly, I like to imagine they all looked like Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2—brooding, revolutionary, and not just good with ledgers… deadly with double-entry bookkeeping 🕶️📉✊
- Uuuh… thrilled (and slightly confused) to share I’m now a 2x Marathon Finisher!! 🏃♀️🏁 Only took me seven years to come back for round two. Turns out 42.2 km still hurts just as much. Endurance, stubbornness, and questionable life choices? Oh absolutely: ✅✅✅
- Reading list for the upcoming weeks 🤗
