Der heutige #OneHealthDay erinnert daran wie eng Mensch-, Tier- und Umweltgesundheit verbunden sind. Auch die #BEready-Studie der #unibern zeigt, wie interdisziplinäre Forschung helfen kann, Infektionskrankheiten besser zu verstehen und vorzubeugen: www.beready.unibe.ch

Denmark to end book tax to encourage people to read Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt said that the measure was aimed at fixing Denmark's 'reading crisis.' The Scandinavian country's 25% sales tax on books is currently the highest in Europe.

Is @who.int trying to get rid of health promotion?
We say that this wouldn't just be unwise.
It would be disastrous.

Gemeinschaftsgarten zwischen Hochhaustürmen Im Berner Westen gibt es zwischen Hochhäusern viele ungenutzte Rasenflächen. Nun hat ein Quartierbewohner ein Projekt für einen Gemeinschaftsgarten initiiert. Das hat Potential.

Seine swimming pool opening gives Paris mayor another jewel in her green crown Making the famed river swimmable is one of the final big projects Anne Hidalgo will inaugurate before she leaves office next year.

The many remarkable city-building legacies of Paris Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, including brand new Seine swimming pool openings, are discussed in this @politico.eu article, quoting many including Canadian urbanist @brenttoderian.bsky.social.
She’s leaving office next year. BIG shoes to fill.

The disappearance of the unclear question AI speeds up research, but without friction, do students lose the deep thinking that turns bad questions into meaningful learning?

"In many fields of study, including literature, philosophy, and the humanities more broadly, ambiguity is not a problem to be solved. It is a resource for continuous critical thinking, renegotiating arguments, and reflection." Co-written w/ @jeppestricker.bsky.social

Was misst der HLS-EU-Q16 eigentlich, wenn er in sozial benachteiligten Gruppen eingesetzt wird? Neues Paper von Himal Singh legt nahe, dass es große Verständnisschwierigkeiten bei Personen mit Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit gibt.

Perspective | In Switzerland’s capital, the feds sunbathe next to each other. How about it, D.C.? Would there be less political rancor if we stripped to our Speedos the way they do in Bern?

So glad you enjoyed!

A WaPo reporter once argued that US democracy might be better of if Mitch McConnell and Pelosi met regularly in swimming suits, just like Swiss MPs do in the bipartisan „Gruppe Aareschwimmen“.

Bahnland Schweiz: Wo deutsche Züge leider draußen bleiben müssen Europaweit ist die Schweiz Spitze, was Dichte, Qualität und Nutzung des Schienennetzes angeht. Wie sie noch besser werden will und was Deutschland von ihr lernen kann.

„Etwa 450 Euro pro Kopf werden in der Schweiz in die Schienen investiert, fast viermal so viel wie in Deutschland mit 114 Euro. In der Schweiz fährt man pro Kopf 2464 Kilometer im Jahr Bahn, in Deutschland nur 1206.“ www.rnd.de/wirtschaft/s...

Unverhältnismäßig und demotivierend: Bewerbungen in der Wissenschaft Warum ist jede Teiletappe des sisyphosesken Bewerbungsmarathons in der Wissenschaft eigentlich so ätzend, dass einem das ganze Unterfangen früher oder später den letzten Nerv raubt?

In der Wissenschaft wird meist verlangt, dass Bewerber*innen Unmengen an Zeit investieren, um zu beweisen, dass sie auch wirklich (ja, wirklich!) gut genug für die Stelle sind. Warum das Motivation tötet und letztlich nur abschreckt, dazu @amreibahr.bsky.social. #ArbeitInDerWiss #IchBinHanna

When you have lived experience *and* professional qualifications related to your work, other people tend to focus on one and minimize the other. You are peer OR professional, but seldom both. This shows up in peer roles, critical disciplines and student affairs, and more.

6k euro to publish a paper in Lancet Public Health

Let’s just sit & think about that

Students & post docs need these publications for their career

Our institutions, who don’t fund us properly, want us to publish in these journals

We raise the cash, do the research & reviewing for these journals

In case I've not said this recently:
If you find yourself on a committee discussing the needs of a particular group of people, but you look around the room & don't see anyone from that group, you should be highly skeptical of any conclusions reached

💡 In public health we often consider power in the sense of power ‘over’ but as a sector we have enormous potential if we lean into the concepts of power ‘with’, power ‘to’ and power ‘despite’. - Anne Marie Thow
