I know #AcademicTwitter is much diminished, but let's say you get the following email from your media relations office. Is this an appropriate email for them to send or not? (I am having a bad reaction, but trying to get input if my bad reaction is appropriate)

Anne-Marie Singh, @aserlich, @serhii_bahlai, and I share part of our survey on crime and policing in wartime Ukraine. While Ukrainians are becoming more receptive toward toward guns in civilian hands, there is no rush to mass gun ownership or vigilantism. kyivindependent.com/group-of…

@KyivIndependent published our latest article on Ukraine's gun culture. We do not find a mass shift toward civilian gun acquisition. Post-war Ukraine is unlikely to be a country of gun-slinging outlaws.

I like it when journals make all other reviewers' comments available by default. I learn from those reviewers, and it makes the experience much better!

Anyway, the basic story appears to be that PS degrees are declining because law school is declining as an interest. And to the extent PS major numbers can recover the route appears to be introducing more (not less) data science/quant reasoning stuff. Students want that content.

I am not a military or 'border conflict' expert. I am a political analyst with years of fieldwork research in Kyrgyzstan. Since there is a need to explain what's going b/n Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan, I thought to collect here some analysis by my colleagues & myself.
