'Such reliance on rankings means that universities are shaped not by the needs of society or by innovations driven from inside the international higher-education community, but by unappointed third-party ranking agencies'

@lizziegadd.bsky.social in Nature www.nature.com/articles/d41...
To reform universities, first tackle global rankings
Universities are in thrall to a rankings system that prioritizes narrow aspects of academic life. Three changes would give institutions the freedom to explore fresh ways of working.

This isn’t institutional capture. It’s a parallel epistemic system built outside medicine, using influencer dynamics, curated anecdotes, and spiritualised autonomy to replace verification, deliberation, and accountability.

Rather than retracing Earth’s history, the authors look for the universal conditions that could make life possible anywhere, approaching the question from many fields and angles.

Oh neat: astronomers detected water molecules in the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in radio waves!
Their goal was straightforward: to establish whether 3I/ATLAS could be seen in radio waves. And their findings now confirm: it behaves like a comet, and not a technological artefact broadcasting radio signals.

Le plan de D. Trump en 28 points est une répétition des accords de Munich en 1938. Une humiliation et une trahison qui va amener le déshonneur. La paix ne sera qu'un mirage pendant que la Russie se préparera au coup d'après pour s'attaquer aux Européens.
