We had the same in Berlin - there was a swimming day in a part of the Spree in the city Centre as well - not sure whether they had organized a clean up previous to that though.

This one will be worth keeping an eye on.

Finland's forests have become a source of carbon The latest preliminary data from Finland's 2023 greenhouse gas inventory reveals that forests have shifted from being a carbon sink to a carbon source. The latest inventory indicates that forests beca...

❗Finland’s #forests have become a source of carbon, according to the preliminary inventory data from @luke.fi. The change is attributed to increased logging, rising emissions in #peatland forests and declining #carbon sink of mineral soils.

📊 Study 1: We built a nationwide open-source building dataset for all residential buildings in Germany — including size class, construction year, refurbishment state, and typology.

This kind of high-resolution data is a game changer for local energy planning.

It would be great to know which works are cited most outside of philosophical debates.

Don't think I've seen anyone discuss this but the April 2nd tariffs might be the total end of solar panel imports for the time being. We're talking an average tariff rate in the mid-40s since most panels come from Southeast Asia—that's on top of the large preexisting tariffs from Biden.

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

Agree. And that is only one cooperative feature of markets. I think there are many others that are required to build trust, while a lack of trust always brings in extra costs.

The best thing about markets isn’t that they allow competition (important though that can be), it is that they allow people who have never met to cooperate in creating value. Tariffs are a tax on global cooperation —that’s why no country wins from them.

A budget is a moral document. Show me a budget and I’ll show you who you think matters and who doesn’t.

The ethical threat of loneliness: the impact of workplace loneliness on cheating behavior - Humanities and Social Sciences Communications Humanities and Social Sciences Communications - The ethical threat of loneliness: the impact of workplace loneliness on cheating behavior

💻😞 Lonely workers more likely to cheat?

New research finds workplace loneliness fuels cheating by increasing emotional exhaustion – especially when no one’s watching.

Is this a hidden ethical risk of remote work?

Map and list of nationwide 'Hands Off' protest locations on April 5 Over 1,000 protests are planned for the 'Hands Off' protests hosted by Third Act on April 5. Here's what to know.

The media is actually talking about the HandsOff protests taking place across the US tomorrow. It’s interesting to see whom they claim are mobilizing and organizing the event. www.newsweek.com/hands-off-pr...

Protests April 5 to 11

1272 protests listed for tomorrow. THAT is BIG. 686 were counted in the US for the January 21, 2017, women's march, in which 1% of the country marched. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Great piece by @abenewman.bsky.social and @himself.bsky.social on risks to US tech companies in Europe from trade war and the shortsightedness of American tech sector leadership

Trade policy uncertainty is at record highs. Trump’s “nobody knows anything” trade policy in chart form.

Hard to quantify what so much uncertainty is doing to the US and global economy - but it can’t be good.

NIH Director Removes Four Main Scientists amid Massive Staff Purge The Trump Administration has fired four leaders and thousands of employees at the National Institutes of Health in "one of the darkest days"

How does one go in five years from running—under very difficult circumstances— a poorly designed study of infection rates, to presiding over the wholesale destruction of US biomedical research?

I have signed the following letter with 103 of my colleagues from UCLA Law. It is modeled closely on the Harvard Law letter. Solidarity with all other faculty willing to speak out for the rule of law.

How much foreign aid is spent domestically rather than overseas? In many countries, a significant share of aid is spent domestically on hosting refugees, offering student scholarships, and administrative costs.

How much foreign aid is spent domestically (rather than being spent overseas)?

That's the question @simonvanteutem.bsky.social and I look at in our latest article on Our World in Data: ourworldindata.org/foreign-aid-...

Today, @wired.com is rolling out its latest special edition (the things I oversee), on the frontiers of modern computing.

Couldn't be more excited to share this with everyone. Particularly this incredible cover.

Go read all the things here:

How much foreign aid is spent domestically rather than overseas?

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

Incredible times: a new poll shows that 46% of Canadians support becoming a member state of the European Union, with 17% of them strongly in favour.

Meanwhile, 29% oppose the idea and 25% are unsure.

Sample: 1,500 Canadian adults (20-25 February)

When it comes to EU Member State non-papers, always look at the number of signatories. 20 is significant and very hard for the Commission to ignore. Deeper UK-EU security cooperation is on the way, and trade ties will follow.

Is this going to be today?

The US may well be beyond just being authoritarian by now.
