I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
A terrific accolade that research excellence and impact can go hand-in-hand. Congratulations!

If we wouldn't see this happening right now, we wouldn't believe this. A massive blow to the #innovation studies community. #GeoInnoSky
I've written an op-ed on innovation and economic growth for Research Fortnight (open access) arguing we need radical innovation in innovation policy centred on evidence-based policy. Shouldn't need saying but ... www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

You are all warmly invited to join us discussing conceptual inroads and potential synergies with neighbouring disciplines on the matter of nature-society interactions in the wider realm of geographies of sustainability transition. Great pleasure organising this with @markussteen.bsky.social & C Binz
Mission-oriented #innovation promises grand solutions, yet too often ignores geography.
As @elvirauyarra.bsky.social, @larscoenen.bsky.social et al. stress, innovation isn’t placeless; it’s shaped by local #institutions.
A spatially blind approach risks failure & exclusion.
