Spain, where I’m on leave, had a blackout this week. No screens. No Wi-Fi. So I grabbed a pen. Turns out, ideas don’t live in notifications, they live in notebooks. ✍️ Full post: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/why-ideas-... Short thread on ink, attention, & art of slow thinking 🧠📝

Just in general the idea of re-imbursement is sooo outdated. Give employees a uni credit card. Just normal in Denmark and solves all kinds of troubles.

Populism remains an important necessary concept to understand current political transformations. But analysts need to move away from it as the main focus. Authoritarian nativism, white supremacy, racism, sexism and fascism are the ideologies at the core of the current erosion of liberal democracy 1/

The written piece gets the glory, but really editing does the heavy lifting. Today I talk about the invisible craft behind strong (academic) writing. Spoiler: It’s not the idea or insight, but it’s the revision. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/catherin...

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house. We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.

Meloni’s govt now 5h longest lasting in post-war Italian history. The bar is not very high, admittedly, with average duration of 414 days. Predictions always impossible, but her prospects to go on for considerably longer look good.

Populism is secondary to both the demand and supply of "populist" parties. Time to make "populism" a secondary concept in electoral and party politics again!

I’m not sure people understand just how much higher these types of visa fees are in the UK compared to our competitors but they are egregious ripoffs that harm our science sector without affecting immigration numbers more than a smidgeon.

The US leadership in science and academia has created global public goods in terms of associational life, publishing, and conference infrastructure. Importantly the funding of US scientists enables teams across the world. This is not zero sum and we will all suffer if American academia suffers
