Feels like, being denied entry to the US is something that we actually should be proud of.

One of my favorite neuroscience lessons:

When you start something new, it feels like a struggle and requires your entire focus. But it gets easier and you need far less brain power. Things become automatic.

The brain becomes more efficient in a single hour: mrbartonmaths.com/resourcesnew...

"...the failure even to be curious about what it is young women are trying to say, just because their chosen revolt against the mainstream takes a less aggressive or destructive form than young Reformers’, feels profoundly unfair." by Gaby Hinsliff

A graphic with a blue background featuring the words 'FAKE' repeated twice in a progressively less blurred font, followed by 'FACT' in clear, bold letters. In the bottom right corner, there is a small European Union flag.

Today is International Fact-Checking Day ✔️

Independent fact-checking is more important than ever.

Before you share:
✅ Is it from a reliable source?
🔍 Can it be verified elsewhere?
📢 Is it informing or manipulating?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

EXCLUSIVE: NSF starts vetting all grants to comply with Trump’s orders Grantee accounts remain frozen, while union accuses NSF of ignoring rules governing peer review

Exclusive: NSF this week began to search through billions of dollars of grants the agency has already awarded for anything touching on topics that President Donald Trump has criticized. And NSF has blocked grantees and trainees from accessing funds while the review is underway. scim.ag/3El0NZh

How the normalisation of the radical right has fuelled their electoral success Radical-right parties made significant gains at the ballot box during 2024. Vicente Valentim argues this success owes much to the normalisation of their views. Last year was a year full of election…

I have written a blog entry for @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social: blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

In it, I discuss the argument in my book about the normalization of the radical right.

I also discuss how that argument can explain the rapid, and often unforeseen, rise of politicians with this ideology.

Elon Musk has designs on the whole of Europe The billionaire’s attacks on the UK are part of a pattern of support for the hard right across the continent.

In my new op-ed for @newstatesman.com I discuss how Elon Musk became the biggest far-right propagandist, openly espousing neo-Nazi views and shaping an Aryan vision for Europe too. This is just the beginning, considering that Trump has not even entered the WH yet www.newstatesman.com/world/europe...
