Short thread on our new paper. We use face mask efficacy research as a “stress test” for systematic review methods. We analysed 66 systematic reviews of face mask efficacy; they reached widely different conclusions (~half said they work, half said that evidence of efficacy was lacking). 1/

The mirage of AI deregulation One of the most interventionist approaches to technology governance in the United States in a generation has cloaked itself in the language of deregulation. In early December 2025, President Donald Tr...

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Covers of 6 books on peoples movements How to Fight Inequality by Ben Phillips Power to the People by Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah People Power Change by Marshall Ganz The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity by Sarah Schulman How to stand up to a dictator by Maria Ressa States of Solidarity by Barbara Prainsack

We are in an era of rising authoritarianism, fading multi-lateralism, & increasing human rights violations

But peoples movements have challenged power in the past

Successful movements, as these books show, are about organizing, growing communities, and building power among people to effect change

Digitale Daten sind Macht. Wer sie kontrolliert, bestimmt über Demokratie, Wirtschaft und Zukunft.

Europa darf das nicht mehr länger nur den großen Tech-Konzernen überlassen, schreibt @bprainsack.bsky.social​ in ihrem Gastkommentar.

It is my attempt to think about how solidarity can be built into our institutions, economies, and everyday lives. Talking about solidarity right now may be uncomfortable, but it is necessary.

Autos werden auf so vielen Ebenen subventioniert. Auch deshalb sind Mieten so hoch. Etwa der Zwang, Stellplätze bereitzustellen. Super Artikel von Caterina Lobenstein in der ZEIT

We're delighted to feature the ideas of Prof @bprainsack.bsky.social for this week's #WiE - in which Barbara focusses on her key message of solidarity. 'Solidarity gets us to the places that justice does not reach.'

More remarkable women, every Thursday.
Stay curious.

Oh, danke! Dir und euch auch 😍
