A student just sent me a 2300-word email of complaints about one of the supervisors of the thesis course I coordinate. Impressive amount of work—almost half the length of the thesis they wrote.

Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will tomorrow permanently disconnect from Russia’s power grid. Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail. This is a victory for freedom and European unity.

Today I learned that Kepler was not only one of the pioneers of the scientific revolution, but also one of the first people to write a science fiction novel. The plot of the novel, named Somnium (Latin for dream), has also very interesting parallels with Kepler’s life & work. 🧵

Our typical study surveys are short and only have a single time. What can we do with huge sets of people reporting sustainability behaviors over longer periods? This has been quite a project. Thanks to NWO for the SSH-XS support, and to AWorld in Italy for their steady partnership. aworld.org

Bluetorial-A dream and a bit of a nightmare Serving as Editor-in-Chief at Science was fascinating. I greatly enjoyed working with talented and committed editorial, news, graphics, and production staff. But the inside look into scientific publishing and AAAS was also deeply disillusioning.

Is going on job burnout (paid leave) particularly common in NL compared to other countries? I have never had so much secondhand contact with this concept before (this is my fifth country). Job protections are really high, and job pressures seem low, at least compared to most other countries.

Is there a conflict of interest or other problem with a journal editor asking their own PhD students to review an article from a third party? My gut says it's fine, but I wanted to check with my peers.
