Polling shows that Canadians are intrigued by the idea of joining the EU.
But could they? 🧐
EU scholars say such a gambit is unlikely to succeed — but it's not actually impossible.

Could Canada join the EU? Unlikely … but not impossible.
EU scholars say Canada has the right vibe for Brussels — but there would be some major hurdles blocking a membership bid.

Opinion: The sudden sanctimonious concern among Elon Musk and politicians of the right for a subset of child rape victims is beyond cynical. But the flare-up tells us something vital. www.ft.com/content/be1f...

How does the under-representation of females in Economics affect the career trajectory of female Ph.D. students?
Sahar Parsa and I look at this in a new working paper by exploring sabbatical leaves taken by female professors at top-50 US Econ departments.

Pleased to announce the launch of my official Bluesky account as EC Chief Spokesperson!
This will be another go-to space for important updates from the Spokesperson service.
Because communicating the EU to citizens requires diversification of channels and platforms!

Very timely comment. Please, read the full thread for context, diagnosis, and policy recommendations.
As a result, we have a new phenomenon: news deserts, which are areas where communities lack access to credible local news sources, once again damaging democracy and civic citizenship: cmpf.eui.eu/news-deserts...

It seems that there is an ongoing trend on @bsky.app of fake accounts portraying themselves as financial economists.
These fake users will try to sell crypto related services via DM.
