Political extremism is not just a political risk. It is a brake on #Europeโ€™s capacity to invent its future.
My new Research Policy paper with Zhuoying You & Peter Teirlinck shows that #research and #innovation falter precisely where the extremes thrive. doi.org/10.1016/j.re...

Starvation is a horrific reality for children and families in Gaza.

Aid at scale must be allowed in urgently.

Starvation is a horrific reality for children and families in Gaza. Aid at scale must be allowed in urgently.

This is a man-made disaster.

Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families in Gaza, wherever they are.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the worldโ€™s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

No, Iโ€™m afraid a research group is a bit more complex than thatโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m sorry Elisabeth we all care a lot. And i like that people correct their mistakes when they find out. I fid more an issue when people does not correct. Here i had a proof that the results were mostly valid.

Sorry Elisabeth, i allow myself to disagree. I appreciate the transparency! If every scientist will admit their mistakes science will be better!
