The way things are going, is there anything that prevents us from incorporating this Finnish proverb into the English language? No, there isn't 📉
This fact helps explain the paradox that Finland is regularly named the happiest country on earth in spite of not *seeming* very happy. It is, after all, the country that coined the phrase "everything is shit except piss" www-sananlaskuja-fi.translate.goog/sanonnat/kai... /7

I tried to give my take on whether water is wet for the BBC World Service - CrowdScience! The episode hosts chemists and material scientists too so this is a really nice & rounded way to approach the question. Here is the link:

BBC World Service - CrowdScience, Is water wet?
The wetness of water seems obvious - but dive into the science and it's not so clear cut

Colleagues in Sweden — do you happen to know is there anything on Vetenskapsrådet on whether academic research/academics’ actions should not contradict with the state’s official foreign policy and state security?
Akateemikko uudesta lakihankkeesta: Olisi erikoista, että demokratiassa lakiin kirjattaisiin, mitä tutkimuksen pitää olla
Eduskunta käsittelee tänään Suomen Akatemiaa koskevaa lakia. Hallituksen esitys alistaisi tutkimuksen ulko- ja turvallisuuspolitiikalle, katsovat tieteen akateemikot.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
