Hi everyone,

This Friday's Hot Politics Lab meeting is unfortunately cancelled. However, we will have an extra-long lab meeting next week! Friday March 20th we have our very first "lab-meets-lab" meeting. We'll have 3 presentations from Hot Politics Lab members and 3 presentations from members of the group around Reinout de Vries (Psychology, VU Amsterdam). There is a lot of interesting overlap between the two groups, so I think this will be a very interesting meeting!
