The second visit in a Georgian museum funded with European money, this time Horizon, in which we are the only visitors. The exhibition is excellent but maybe there’s a science policy lesson here to give some money also to the marketing folks!

OMG I copy-pasted the tweet below into LinkedIn and it translated 🤷‍♀️ into the male version with a female sign 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Incidentally, the same thread got 17 likes in the same time on LinkedIn as opposed to 1 here! Please don’t make me use that awful site 😫

Some churn during a crisis is not always bad for productivity, if it weeds out unproductive businesses that would have gone out of business sooner or later anyways. The businesses seizing trading in rural areas were much less productive, so increased survival would have dragged down productivity.

What do we find? Yes, digitalisation prior to the pandemic help businesses weather the storm, but this is only true for businesses in urban areas. We see no effect for rural businesses.

I didn’t realise Penguin was in fact run by penguins, but that explains a lot

A day of ‘you need to close the blinds, actually’ discourse on Bluesky and this is what the neighbours came up with 🤔

Feels like 'property needs updating' is a bit of an understatement when you're running two Popes behind 😅

The age group with the highest vote share for the AfD are 35-44 year-olds, entering the labour market around the financial crisis - which Germany did well out of but possibly first gen with much higher inequality by education levels and hit by fast increase in housing costs?

Good station!

In my current moonlighting as a civili servant, I find it quite interesting how much research there is that departments aren’t aware of. Eg these are some of DSIT’s ARIs. I think we already know already quite a bit about this! Can always do more research but doesn’t address the translation problem.

Be careful out there, I’ve reached Bluesky follower parity *AND* 100 citations on Google Scholar, who knows what’s next 😳

Better stop before I fall below distinction level 🤓

What a silly little word ‘sanction’ is! I thought there was some difference in spelling between the two meanings that I missed, but no. Just came up in the context of natural monopolies, and truly, not clear which meaning of ‘government-sanctioned’ it is without further context.

Extraordinary statistic and surely this is wrong 🤔
