“I am an NIH-funded biomedical scientist with conservative leanings. I know at least a dozen scientists who voted for Trump, largely because of frustrations with DEl and extreme wokeness that had permeated every aspect of University life. Each one of us deeply regrets their vote….

First you join the programmes of the European Space Agency
Then you join most of Horizon Europe… and Eurovision and CERN and EMBL and ESO …

… and finally you decide to join the European Union altogether - you are nearly there anyway

Trukket hårdt op: Balkan og Østeuropa har høj andel kvindelige professorer men få penge til offentlig forskning. I Nordvesteuropa er det omvendt. Her investeres mere i offentlig forskning men landene ligger lavere hvad angår andelen af kvindelige professorer.

Nikolaj Helm-Petersen @nikolajhelm.bsky.social · Mar 7

Men de europæiske tal viser - bemærkelsesværdigt også - at de lande, som ligger højest hvad angår andel kvindelige professorer samtidig ligger lavest hvad angår offentlige forskningsinvesteringer.

I DEA har vi kigget på kvindelige professorer i Europa. Der er sket en markant udvikling på 20 år. Danmark er fx. gået fra 8% til knap 25% kvindelige professorer. Men andre lande har øget mere. Relativt set er vi dermed faldet nogle pladser i europæiske sammenligninger.

Vi håber, politikerne også skeler til udlandet i forhandlingslokalet🌍 For det viser sig, at danske studerende vurderer erhvervsakademier og professionshøjskoler lavest på over halvdelen af 17 udsagn om kvalitet - sammenlignet med studerende fra andre europæiske lande #uddpol

Det er en urealistisk præmis, når Megafon spørger danskerne, om Ukraine skal afgive land for fred. Sagen er den, at det er usandsynligt, at Ukraine kan opnå fred ved at afgive land. Sagde samme til Ritzau om meningsmålingen inden juleferien! nyheder.tv2.dk/udland/2024-...

Skal Ukraine afgive land for fred? Det er slet ikke det, russerne vil have, siger analytiker

På to år er der ifølge måling sket en fordobling af danskere, der ønsker, at Ukraine skal slutte fred med Rusland ved at opgive en del af sit land.
