Quand un ancien président de l'ASNR publie une tribune, ça mérite de s'y attarder. Avec quelques réflexions personnelles à chaud et un peu longues. «Depuis vingt-cinq ans, aucun des projets nucléaires français ne s’est déroulé comme prévu» www.lefigaro.fr/vox/economie...

Un truc qui me déprime avec l'IA, en tant que public, c'est qu'on est à deux doigts de n'avoir plus jamais que de la bouillie moyenne de tout ce qui est plus ou moins populaire. Des bonhommes pixar moyens, des décors ghibli de base "qui ressemblent", des situations standard. 1/3

#Hcéres , il reste à franchir l'étape de la Commission Mixte Paritaire (pas rien). Nous espérons vivement que le bon sens transpartisan et constructif l'emportera enfin. Et bien sûr, une lutte peut en cacher une autre. Mais nous avons le vent en poupe, nous ferons (aussi) tomber les Comp !

Space-based data centres are interesting purely as a rhetorical manifestation of the compeltely broken, wild and fantastical headspace in which these people operate, and should only be reported in that context (as opposed to being presented as a real possbility) www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Swedish gov't claim to welcome foreign academics. But their actual policy is Trump-inspired: a poorly justified war on "woke," bizarre attacks on specific curricula, capricious cancellations of research funding, attacks on the independence of the universities, and regressive migration rules.

⚠️ Le PS a retiré son amendement de réintégration du HCERES. Il faut maintenant voter en conséquence ! Pour répondre à leur inquiétude : La fin du HCERES, ce n'est pas la fin des évaluations. Les syndicats proposent que les sections CNU et les conseils scientifiques s’emparent de ces prérogatives.

Quand les bourses européennes s’effondrent parce qu’un cinglé à pris une décision crétine à l’autre bout du globe c’est toujours le moment de se rappeler que l’argent de la retraite par capitalisation qu’on nous survend serait totalement à la merci de ce genre d’absurdité

While we were talking about penguins being hit with tariffs, China created an "export licensing" system that controls the sale of dysprosium, terbium, tungsten, indium and yttrium to the US. Why is this important? Here is a quick summary of the article🧵

Amidst all terrible news, I am sad that here it is not better. Today the VU Amsterdam announced they'll cut Earth Sciences, and fire 39 staff. 130 students are left to figure out how to finish, and an unknown number of PhDs lose their supervisors. My heart goes out to my colleagues 😳😥

Nearly everything Trump is doing now was laid out in my 2020 bestseller HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, which apparently was indeed hiding in plain sight. The book has a transcript of Trump explaining his plan in 2014. It also lays out the current plans of his partners. All of this could have been prevented.

SCOOP: You've heard about the NIH terminating grants. I've learned of another, less visible way it's disrupting science: It’s removing some applications from peer review. Not rejecting them, but putting them on hold without saying why or if they'll ever be reviewed. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

Terrific column on the importance of scientific funding for research universities by former Ec10 student Julien Berman. This chart is striking--basically many of the complaints (fair or unfair) are about the humanities but it gets very little federal funding.

Puisque le débat sur les dépendances aux Américains continue à se centrer sur le F-35, et que l'on a désormais un format régulier avec l'un des meilleurs spécialistes de la question en la personne @josephhenrotin1.bsky.social, autant en profiter pour lui faire un sort (plus ou mions) définitif.

This is the sound of pertussis, also known as whooping cough. The "whoop" is the sound at the end of the cough, as the person gasps for air. Infants in Louisiana choked to death after health department staff were prohibited from promoting vaccines. We could see more of this under RFK's HHS.

Le RN a piqué 4,1 millions d'euros d'argent public, il ne s'agit pas d'argent magique mais du contribuable. "II y a aussi le confort des dirigeants d’un parti et l’enrichissement d’un parti", ajoute la présidente du tribunal. Le RN va tout faire pour tenter de faire oublier cet aspect aux Français.

GDPR, often (somewhat rightly) accused of being a paper tiger, is perhaps best positioned out of all the current digital laws to withstand the US pressure and continue the current improving level of enforcement, however Trump and Big Tech are getting a useful deregulatory assist from the Commission.
