Very nice paper from a very smart candidate @leonardo-barreto.bsky.social
His paper is very creative and addresses a relevant question for academics and policymakers alike!
Leonardo is also a very easygoing and intelligent colleague!
A very nice paper by a great candidate from the University of Minnesota!
The paper becomes relevant now, when many emerging countries accumulated high debt levels and wanted to improve their health services and infrastructure after the pandemic!

They are “protecting students” by not allowing them to enroll…
Very stupid policy, to say the least…
🚨This is a HUGE escalation and a deliberate effort to use the government against Trump's enemies. Weaponizing the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification against Harvard to punish them for pushing back is a new low — and needlessly punishes thousands of innocent students.

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy.
