The deeper I dig into the "writting-up-the-PhD-rabbit-hole", the trashier the soundtrack becomes. From Guru's Jazzmatazz in early summer to Russian Village boys at the end of it - nobody warns of of that!

Mein Kiel Report "Quo vadis, USA?" ist da (Link im naechsten Tweet). Ich bin @kiel.institute und @schularick.bsky.social sehr dankbar, dass ich mal etwas ausfuehrlicher meine Gedanken zur aktuellen politischen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Situation in den USA aufschreiben konnte.

🧵Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website! Today I’m launching www.trumpactiontracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). 1/14

New paper out on #CCS in waste incineration. With expected large increases in waste incineration for the coming decades, we urgently need to address emissions from #waste-to-energy plants. 🏭 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Building on the paper and many others, I have produced a report on policies to foster a balanced circulation of talents, targeted at the system or national level, organisational and individual levels, with lots of suggestions relevant for "Choose Europe". 3/3 op.europa.eu/en/publicati...

✍️I visited British Steel last week - just as workers were discovering that the plant's Chinese owners were effectively planning to starve the blast furnaces to death. It was a strange, unsettling experience. With deep ramifications. Some thoughts: edconway.substack.com/p/the-strang...

We are looking forward to receiving abstracts.

THREAD The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X. By quite a lot. Release the Kraken... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics 1/11

**🥳 @wien.gv.at ist Europäische Demokratiehauptstadt – und das seit 4 Monaten!** Seit November 2024 trägt Wien den Titel der Europäischen Demokratiehauptstadt – nach Barcelona die zweite Stadt mit dieser Ehre. Ein Rück- und Ausblick: #Demokratiehauptstadt

If a project partner is using a copyrighted picture in some slides that lie on our project website, an obscure German law firm will find it and charge us between 500-2.000 €. Would be interesting to do that math here :D Wont happen though - quod licet zuck non licet bovi, I guess

🌍 Sustainable Regional Transition vs. Green Growth: Are They the Same? @johannessuitner.bsky.social and I have been reflecting on this question and concluded that, despite their frequent and intentional overlap, they are not.

"Tesla’s biggest asset is hyperbole. The more extreme the hyperbole, the more valuable it gets." My colleagues on how Tesla could be the most overvalued company in the world - the "shitcoin" of big tech. www.ft.com/content/9cc3...

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Und was machma jetzt? #AT #governmentcrisis

Internal reflection on what #socialinnovation means and how we mobilise it. It's about inclusion, agency, needs and normativity, socio-technical embedding, and transformation. Otter clusters stress methods and criticism of the concept as such. Good stuff

I can live with mine as well 🤣 blueskyroast.com/roast/philst...

In her key note at #reevaluation H. Spyra talks about the implementation of transformative innovation in Austria, especially in the context of the BMK, ministry of many words or ministry of magic as I just learned. Organisational change in public services as one key challenge in transforming systems

Research on Research - the important task to improve the systems we rely on for knowledge production. Super relevant key not by @jameswilsdon.bsky.social at the #fteval conference #reevaluation2024

Not Joey's point, but it has become conventional wisdom that Europe is falling far behind the U.S. technologically — people are even calling it a museum to past successes. And official productivity numbers do show Europe lagging. And yet ... 1/

Telling you that I am working with engineers without saying that I am working with engineers

I created a starter pack for economic geography and others who are somehow related to the field. If I forgot anyone, let me know (not sure if others can automatically add people). go.bsky.app/R2sg5Xt

Warum soziale Innovation wichtig für Transformation ist und wie lokale Experimente zur Bewältigung der Klimakrise beitragen können - @wolfhai.bsky.social und ich durften mit APA Science über unsere Lehren aus #SIAMESE sprechen. Danke für den schönen Bericht ❤️ science.apa.at/power-search...

Indeed a very interesting read linking declining trust in institutions, broken social contracts, the psychology of feeling of unfairness, and the rise of populism.

Really interesting essay on the rise of populism and social contracts breaking down. www.edelman.com/trust/edelma...
