In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant. Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far. These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly "safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.

Historic deal recognizes the ‘State of New Caledonia’ within France "This compromise will not fully satisfy anyone. But I am firmly convinced that it allows us to take New Caledonia out of the spiral of violence, uncertainties, and destruction."

Great and important article about an imperfect deal on recognizing New Caledonia. Did you know this was happening? Because until I read this, I didn't. Support our newsroom so you can stay in the international know globalvoices.org/donate/

yes this hasn't gained enough international attention. It's so important and remarkable these days that decolonisation can take place peacefully, through negotiated settlements, respect of the law, and the will of the people.

🧵 Today I participated in a French 🇫🇷 PhD defence for the first time and it made me reflect on the various examination models: which might be the most scientifically robust, and which might be the most satisfying to the candidate? And is Germany the only place where the entire thing is also marked?

I loved the French one both as a PhD and an examiner. It's such a unique opportunity in academic life to have a detailed, in-depth discussion, in which people give so much of their time to a junior colleague in view of taking the PhD further. It's really a celebration of the commitment of the PhD

I can't find your description of the French system, so here it is: commitee of 5 to 8 examiners, including two 'rapporteurs' who authorised the viva. PhD presents their work, then supervisors compliments, and then detailed questioning of the committee generally totalling 3 to 5 hours.

changes can happen before (in the NL and FR). It happens that an examiner refuses the viva unless changes are implemented though it is rare and a sign of a supervision problem or 'politics' (disagreements between supervisors and examiners), but the role of the supervisor is to prevent this

The Death of Direct File Tech for good not welcome in the Trump administration

New, from me: The Trump administration is killing Direct File, the free IRS e-filing tool.
Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public.

It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵

Really worrying. Only individual solutions and failure to prevent risks. And increasing the problem via emission

Or just overwork? is this really necessary?

These days I am regularly asked how to interpret the backlash against climate policies, how did things go that wrong (many reasons ofc), and *are people simply not ready for climate action*

I keep on saying that this last q is a bad one bc it hinges on a wrong interpretation of whats going on.

After a big fire in the Landes, France, the earth burned underground for almost 3 years !!!!

Litterally a scortching earth we're living in.

Well done @kprodani.bsky.social

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

Beyond climate, nature-related risks are hard to quantify and easy to miss - OMFIF In 2015, Mark Carney, then governor of the Bank of England, argued that banks and insurers had failed to adequately quantify climate risk.

Great to see this out! With @kprodani.bsky.social at ->OMFIF #banks #biodiversity www.omfif.org/2025/03/beyo...
