I hope you have (had?) time to visit the Zeche Zollverein. Essen is shockingly underrated—indeed, the entire Ruhrgebiet is!

You could ask for a calcium scoring CT scan. With a score of 0, your doctor will unlikely ask you to go on statins if your LDL is not extremely high.

Tremendous performances from both players. Alcaraz deservedly goes through. 👏🏽

I have no idea how the most basic thing—unmasking these people with guns on the streets of American cities—seems to be so difficult to do. Can someone explain this to me? Who—if anyone—is leading the case to stop these people from wearing masks?

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Editorial Manager asking for an “overall manuscript rating (1–100)” is so dumb. Does anyone actually put a number in there?!

I’m not sure what Libor is saying here, but I’m reposting it for the solid photo. 👏🏽

Byty nebudou, když je komunální politici víc nechtějí než chtějí. Nesouhlas měst s novou výstavbou není o stranických průkazkách, ale o špatných motivacích. Český systém (financování obcí, daně, stavební právo) přináší obcím s novou výstavbou hlavně finanční trable.

Na ideové konferenci ... 🧵

🚨🚨 Job alert 🚨🚨 Postdoc in Economic History at Tilburg University

Come work with me as a postdoc in the beautiful Netherlands.

The position is for 3 years, with very low teaching, and you'll have plenty of time to develop your own research agenda.

He does so many crazy things that literally kidnapping the head of government of another country *less than a month ago* is not on the front page of every newspaper.

NEW PAPER! We know that lead exposure is bad, but where is it all coming from?

We show that used lead-acid battery recycling is likely much more important than previously thought - perhaps 1/3 of exposure in LMICs.

It has been one year since the January 2025 suspension of USAID. In our new paper (with Annabelle Tan and @ashani.bsky.social), we treat this suspension as a natural experiment and examine how foreign aid withdrawal affects conflict dynamics. A thread:
