We think we're so smart these days but some of the best ideas are old. This paper has been a cornerstone for my work, almost 50 years old. If we had listened we would have done everything possible to make development more equitable and reduce vulnerability to hazards. www.nature.com/articles/260...

🧵 Today I participated in a French 🇫🇷 PhD defence for the first time and it made me reflect on the various examination models: which might be the most scientifically robust, and which might be the most satisfying to the candidate? And is Germany the only place where the entire thing is also marked?

Fascinating read — @whitproject.bsky.social’s important new book “Erased” #HistIR

New, from me: The Trump administration is killing Direct File, the free IRS e-filing tool. Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public. It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

Really worrying. Only individual solutions and failure to prevent risks. And increasing the problem via emission

These days I am regularly asked how to interpret the backlash against climate policies, how did things go that wrong (many reasons ofc), and *are people simply not ready for climate action* I keep on saying that this last q is a bad one bc it hinges on a wrong interpretation of whats going on. 1/4

After a big fire in the Landes, France, the earth burned underground for almost 3 years !!!! Litterally a scortching earth we're living in.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

I want funding bodies, reviewers and ethics boards to think about how much of the money they are approving is going to airlines and hotel companies. I want employers to rethink their criteria for employment and promotion, away from rewarding funding and flying.

Indeed, we need to think deeply about this. Serious threats to welfare models, livability of many places. Do we want societies that keep on growing? How to organise happiness in a world with limited resources and babies? Why current policies fail? Why do we need babies?
