There are enormous opportunities for democratic states with strong protections for academic freedom worldwide to collaborate in a new research alliance. This opportunity extends far beyond the obvious openings in applied and innovation research. Core values thrive in intellectual collaboration.

History is speeding up. Ireland being part of an effort to replace the dollar as the reserve currency is extraordinary. The Taoiseach may have some awkward moments in the White House.

I am sufficiently nerdy to be really looking forward to the second half of the debate when the speakers will be tired and the prepared answers run out. #RTE #LeadersDebate
