Case in point: my 4 yo is excited to have my mum visit because he thinks she can make any dish that has butter in it and apparently I’m “still learning”.
I won’t tell him that my grandma used a lot more butter than does my mum.

Probably not a universal statement. Interesting how many people relate to it though.

I’ve been cooking like a grandma, adding more butter, cream and/or salt to everything and I must say, there’s a reason why grandmas’ cooking is so popular.

About twenty leading scholars came together at ENAP to reflect on the future of AI and emerging technologies governance. Here’s what it looks like when they answer my questions for you (in French and English). 👇

Ok, I abdicate. You are the queen of IR pop culture integration.

Although I would argue in that example we really faced a bipolar system that came under attack which led to a period of instability with different middle powers trying to take over and become the hegemon.

HAHAHAHAHA

Unfortunately, I'm already at minimal font size and margins ;)

"How is your day going?"
"You know, just another day in academia spent cutting 15 words to get everything fit under 4 pages, not 4.05 pages."

In Edmonton, the IKEA cafeteria has switched from reusable dinnerware to compostable ones and Starbucks no longer accepts my reusable mug for health safety reasons. Are businesses regressing on sustainability because there’s not enough pressure?

Montréal has so many third-wave coffee places! As for pastries, the French in me wants to see a European influence with less sugar (not less flavour) maybe?

… around which I used to schedule my meetings, and I get emotional. It’s been a tough three years, it’s also been a good three years, and I’m not going to lie: although I have a lot of moments of self-doubt, right now I’m pretty proud of myself.

Breast pump sitting next to post-its, loose sheets of papers, and a mug used as pen holder

This summer, I have had to write several reports on my work over the last three years. While tedious, it’s also allowed to pause and realize I have accomplished a lot. As I am currently wrapping up one of those reports, my eyes linger on the breast pump still sitting in my office,…

I have had issues of short-term memory loss for a few years (thanks, kiddos), but I am 99% sure I have never written this paper.
I guess thanks for thinking of me, chatGPT.

Someone posting how sometime research is slow sounds like a useful post… Until they end up listing the three article manuscripts and two book chapters they submitted over the summer.

Congratulations Dr. @devoncantwell.bsky.social for a fantastic defence!
Devon is doing excellent work in the field of global urban climate governance, follow her and her research!

I heard you were a great supervisor, o congrats to you too!

This is also how we make our lives better. By talking to people around us, accepting their help, sharing food... We intuitively know this is good for us, but some (many?) of us need to experience it.

As someone who has moved a lot in the last 15 years, building community was not on the top of my mind. But the more I think about the climate crisis in a context of polarization, the more I believe creating/strengthening community is key. More knowledge mobilization on that topic is needed.

Maybe everyone understands that AI doesn’t “think”, but everyone also understands that soy doesn’t make “milk” and yet we’ll all drinking soy beverage, so maybe we should revise the standards for what companies associate with “thinking”.

Super interesting, thank you!

Perhaps not the most informative animation, but it shows that IPBES is taking social sciences seriously, something other international scientific bodies haven't always done.

Thanks, looks interesting!

Thanks!

In other news, I got married 10 years ago today.

Yes, and again, not saying no one should use it ever. I just think those considerations are important and I generally don't think it's a tool political science students should use, especially at the undergrad level.
