The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

As a reviewer who gets ~15 review requests/week, an editor that has to send 50 requests to find 2 reviewers, and a co-author that watches really good papers get desk rejected, it sure feels like the academic journal system is broken.

I have some thoughts on what a better system would look like.

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

If you’re looking for an encouragement and meaning in life, I really appreciated the thoughts of my colleague @theplantprof.bsky.social here.

As I often say, they won’t put your academic CV on your tombstone. So what really matters in life?
