That Feb. 24, 2022, I hosted virtually a guest speaker, who was working for the UN in Lebanon. She was late because of a meeting due to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I will never forget that guest lecture. And here we are, almost 4 years after, and the war on Ukraine continues to rage.

🇲🇩🇺🇦 Moldovan President Sandu said that she is against her nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, because there are more worthy candidates - Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Sandu emphasized that it is Ukrainians who are truly sacrificing themselves for the sake of peace and security in Ukraine and the EU.

Some scenes of chocolate for Valentine's Day at Richardson's Candy Store in Deerfield. We purchased some for our consumption and will also be mailing some out tomorrow. Their handmade chocolates are delicious.

The crowd roared to welcome Team Ukraine to the Olympics.

Luckily the crowd also roared to welcome Team USA and then booed Vance when they showed him on screen, this is the way.

Thank you Italy.

It's a very exciting time, sports-wise, with the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics (and I heard back from a journal editor in Milan, who is super pumped) and, of course, the Super Bowl on Sunday, with @umassamherst.bsky.social hosting an on campus viewing party www.wwlp.com/sports/the-b...

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question.

Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.

It was a very busy but enjoyable teaching day for me today @isenbergumass.bsky.social. Not only was the first student to arrive to my morning class from Boston (and he drove 2 hours) but in my afternoon seminar on game theory & networks another student (a PhD one) also drove in from Boston.
