The great figures that made history central to intellectual life are passing away. Sad to see Pierre Nora is the latest.

Best year ever for bluebells in the back garden and the irises on their way. What a spring in Dundee.

The future is steampunk
Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

There are enormous opportunities for democratic states with strong protections for academic freedom worldwide to collaborate in a new research alliance. This opportunity extends far beyond the obvious openings in applied and innovation research. Core values thrive in intellectual collaboration.
A vital conversation, core to our wellbeing and sovereignty 🇨🇦, merci! We can leverage the moment if we’re savvy. We must ensure all candidates for Parliament get the business case for research investment + #InclusiveInnovation.

History is speeding up. Ireland being part of an effort to replace the dollar as the reserve currency is extraordinary. The Taoiseach may have some awkward moments in the White House.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for.

So disappointing that Deputy McDonald is so weak on carbon taxes. Energy costs are high, but we have to stick with the decarbonisation route. The transition has to happen, but it has to be just.
