Severine Toussard from Oxford university is presenting her research at our research seminar!

Jsem vedoucí katedry na Univerzitě Karlově, vystudoval jsem IES FSV UK a University of Chicago. Ekonomická politika a tvorba zákonů má vycházet z faktů, analýz a vědeckých poznatků. Pokrok Česka dusí zabedněnost v jednoduchých ekonomických poučkách z devadesátek. A oligarchizace. Obojí chci změnit.

🔄 Aktualizovali jsme grafiku vývoje průměrné globální teploty za posledních 22 000 let. Zatímco v průběhu přirozeného přechodu mezi dobou ledovou a meziledovou trvalo oteplení o 1 °C více než tisíc let, nyní se vlivem člověkem vypouštěných skleníkových plynů ohřála o 1 °C za méně než sto let.

Poslední víkend s pěkným počasím, nejlepší čas na celorodinnou - wait for it - střevní chřipku! A navíc s nočním zahájením, jupí!

Podíl obnovitelných zdrojů na výrobě elektřiny v EU se mezi lety 2000–2023 zvýšil přibližně 16×. Nejvyšší podíl těchto zdrojů má Dánsko (88 %), nejnižší Česko (15 %). Porovnejte ale i úbytek fosilních zdrojů (tmavě šedá) a vývoj podílu jádra (světle šedá).

Why do societies reliably develop strikingly similar traditions like dance songs, hero stories, shamanism & justice institutions? In a new BBS target article, I propose a theory for such "super-attractors" + cultural evolution more broadly. Now open for commentary: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Nejhorší u těch prášků na paměť je to, že si nikdy nepamatuju, jestli jsem si je už vzal.
