My favorite policy book of the year is Reform as Process (Columbia University Press 2026) by Martin Williams from Michigan. I wrote a post on why I think this book deserves a wide audience, including scholars, students, and practitioners.

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained."

Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.
