Minusta nämä Sisut ja Kullervot näyttävät enenevästi turkkalaisen miehekkyyden ironiselta kostolta haudan takaa, meedionaan Turkan oppilas Jorma Tommila.

Finland is known for its fair, high-quality education system. But new re-search shows it is increasingly being treated as a marketable product ra-ther than a public good. What does this shift mean for the future of learn-ing?

THE ASSET CLASS, my first book, will be published by @wnbooks.bsky.social on 9 April 2026. It’s a narrative investigation of private equity, a secretive and relentlessly destructive wing of finance that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives - and it’s available to pre-order now!

Voiko tiede pyrkiä maailman parantamiseen menettämättä puolueettomuuttaan? | MustRead Tiede on aina pyrkinyt tutkimusten ohessa muuttamaan maailmaa paremmaksi. Se ei tee tutkimuksesta epätieteellistä, professori Panu Raatikainen Tampereen yliopistosta kirjoittaa. VAPAA LUKUOIKEUS.

Persujen tiedepamfletin myötä taas ajankohtainen kirjoitus (vuodelta 2023) uusintana:

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Ilmainen kiva tutkimushankeidea jollekulle: ”Lähtökuoppiinsa jääneen tai persuksillensa pudonneen yliopistouran synnyttämä viha/katkeruus persuuntumisinsentiivinä”.

Loppuuko tämäkin klassikkolauseeseen ”ja he taistelivat yhdessä sodan loppuun asti”? Täytyy myöntää, että kymmenen ikävuoden korvilla korkkareiden homoerotiikka ei varsinaisesti avautunut.

@verenafriedrich.bsky.social Dear Verena, it was such a great enrichment to WORK2025 that you had a chance to tell about your impressive artistic work! Your ”pea machine” reminded me of Auger & Loizeau’s projects on so-called critical design.
