ICYMI RARE/EARTH: The Geopolitics of Critical Minerals + the AI Supply Chain w/ @triofrancos.bsky.social @katecrawford.bsky.social @tamigraph.bsky.social @hofrench.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxVM... Opening remarks albert.ias.edu/server/api/c... Event brief www.ias.edu/stsv-lab/aig...

Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, reminds us that ‘climate change IS a human rights issue’. Her keynote speech at the @dcuclimate.bsky.social annual conference is a call to action, and a strong defence of #climate and #human #rights defenders worldwide.

UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders @marylawlorhrds.bsky.social addresses #DCUClimate2025 with a stark warning: the defence of private interests and status quo presents a “serious risk” to climate defenders. But a glimmer of hope: "human rights defenders haven't given up"

Good input by Climate Change Advisory Council + Fiscal Advisory Council #MorningIreland. The data is clear, the advice is research and evidence-led so CRU view that data centres can power via on site fossil fuels and Govt heading for an LNG platform are ensuring national climate failure #spéirghorm

The important role of the Young Scientist Exhibition. The success of the annual event comes down to how it showcases the community value of science itself, writes @padraigmurphy.bsky.social @dublincityuni.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Very sad to learn of the death of David Lodge - the Dickens (or merely Amis?) of late-20th century academia - whose Changing Places helped enliven my graduate studies in the 1980s. Even though my PhD advisor once called me 'the Morris Zapp of your set'.... I'm still reflecting on that, bitterly.

Should anyone want to read my reflections on causing a stink and going viral, my article with The New Statesman is linked below: t.co/Hnqmzhz2DE

ASU president Michael Crow talks to Cynthia Selin about the original motivation for the Centre for Science, Policy and Outcomes. Giant US inequalities, and innovation appeared to be implicated

Tough day for the Green Party, could be a complete wipe-out. Meanwhile, the #climate crisis deepens by the month. If there are history books in the future, wonder what they’ll make of all this?

I'm really sorry but all my starter packs are maxed out and with massive growth of bsky (hi everyone!), I just don't have the capacity to make more. Could others in #sts #envhums #scipol #histSTM #scicomm pick up and extend, perhaps with more specialist packs?
