Great column in @nytimes.com
On how the moral framework mattered and now the Trump administration appears unconstrained not only by the limits imposed by the Constitution but by the standards of an average American’s conscience.

Very nice paper from a very smart candidate @leonardo-barreto.bsky.social
His paper is very creative and addresses a relevant question for academics and policymakers alike!
Leonardo is also a very easygoing and intelligent colleague!
A very nice paper by a great candidate from the University of Minnesota!
The paper becomes relevant now, when many emerging countries accumulated high debt levels and wanted to improve their health services and infrastructure after the pandemic!

Super well done and relevant paper not only for India but for many other regions of the world!

A president openly declaring war to his political opponents 🚨‼️

Every university’s legal department should join Harvard to win this case!
It should be everyone against censorship and intimidation!
Congratulations!! 🎊🍾🎉🎈
They are “protecting students” by not allowing them to enroll…
Very stupid policy, to say the least…
🚨This is a HUGE escalation and a deliberate effort to use the government against Trump's enemies. Weaponizing the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification against Harvard to punish them for pushing back is a new low — and needlessly punishes thousands of innocent students.
Science in the U. S., scientists, on the run to Europe, Hitler, Musk, Trump, Statue of Liberty, EU
Scientists on the run again?

BREAKING: US President Donald Trump's administration has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, the Department of Homeland Security said reut.rs/458ZBnl
When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy.
