This paper that the brilliant @mwewerinke.bsky.social and I coauthored for @iclq.bsky.social is probably my most significant piece of work on statehood and sea-level rise. Find it here, open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

MS Word, why do you hate ‘particular’? Sometimes it’s necessary, better even, so miss me with the pass-agg underlining already

Happy first day of semester to all who celebrate #cuhk #cuhklaw #hongkong

View of CUHK campus from my 6th floor office: visible are the new accommodation block at United College, the UC water tower, the sky bridge, some lush rainforest, and a beautiful blue sky.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

'Universities will be lucky to avoid being “completely hit over the head” in the UK government’s upcoming spending review as ministers look set to prioritise plans for growth – which could eat into core research funding – and save higher education reform for a later date.' 1/3

Universities face ‘tough’ spending review after brutal few months

Potential reprioritisation of parts of research budget could heap pressure on institutions already counting cost of immigration and tax changes
