Competitiveness thrives on cohesion, not concentration.
My brand new article in @regionalstudies.bsky.social makes the case for unlocking #Europe’s full potential, wherever it can be found, as #cohesion is the foundation of #competitivenes, not its antithesis.

"A boycott is in place until further notice."

Utrecht University becomes first Western academic institution to announce an academic *boycott* of Israel.

This is the result of strategic, ethical work by students & university staff.

Her three-volume Women Scientists in America proved their exclusion wasn’t because of individual failures but of systemic barriers into the structure of science itself

This is very worrying. Making offering a "bowl of soup" to someone without legal papers a criminal offense. In times of far-right political experimentation, Dutch politics can ill afford a parliamentary "slip-up". It’s up to the Senate now to demonstrate its purpose of chambre de reflexion.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

When you go without food for a while, your body starts a powerful cleaning process that scientists call autophagy. Cells build special containers to trap junk, break it down, and reuse the useful bits for energy. A little hunger gives your body the chance to do its own internal spring cleaning.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.
