Because I choose to. Über die Glaubwürdigkeit von Wissenschaft.

„Das Vertrauen in Wissenschaft ist höher, als man denkt“

Ein kleiner Lichtblick: Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass das Vertrauen in die Wissenschaft weltweit überwiegt.

Ernüchternd allerdings, dass Deutschland im unteren Mittelfeld liegt.

Photograph of newspaper article with highlighted quotes from Ron Davies, professor of economics at University College Dublin, statting that Trump's tariff plan "does not pass even a basic smell test" and "He's rolling that all together and surrounding them with a layer of bullshit".

Alongside the aggressive bravado and Potemkin trade theatrics, Trump's tariffs are about power — rules bent at will, countries pleading for exemptions.

In this context, my colleague’s blunt critique felt refreshingly accurate (if not exactly elegant). As published in the @irishtimes.com.

Long day.

Ein bisschen Lokalpatriotismus: Die CAU ist unter den Top 100 europäischen Universitäten im Hinblick auf erteilte Patente!

Migrants in Germany are overrepresented in vital job sectors including food production, construction, care work and others. #Destatis via @zdfde.bsky.social #Migration.
The German economy would collapse in many sectors without migration. Some political parties struggle to accept that reality.

Qu'est-ce que le progrès ? Comment mesure-t-on le progrès ? Plus précisément, quelles statistiques et quels chiffres examine-t-on pour déterminer si un pays progresse ou régresse ?

Comment mesure-t-on le progrès ? Quels chiffres regarde-t-on pour déterminer si un pays progresse ou régresse ? Et qu'est-ce que ça a à voir avec les droits humains ?

📣 New research: The expiry of the US Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) has led to a 5-10% drop in imports from developing countries. This is a blow to exporters, with implications for growth and market access. 🌍

Key takeaways:
1. Trade stability matters for developing nations

Call for Papers!
We are inviting submissions for the GDE conference. If your research is on developing countries, send us your papers.

The GDE is international and anyone is welcome, it is simply called "German" development conference because it is organized by DEU, AUT, and SUI universities.

Mixed origin migration background. Spending the holidays in a major tourist destination country - cutting down trees, weeding, etc.
The famous beaches… I haven’t been once.
But definitely still acing the machete skills!

Using the results shown below and others, we estimate that couples in Germany act as if they value women's earnings at 48 cents on the Euro, compared to men's earnings. In Sweden, it's 80 cents on the Euro. Full paper here: bit.ly/MTO-T

For my first post here, I’m going to show you where I spent the last week writing, resetting and reorienting myself.
Lots of wind, rain, hail, but blue skies always breaking through…
