Zojuist was de uitreiking van de prestigieuze Spinozapremie aan collega @judithpollmann.bsky.social. Zo welverdiend!

En het maakt me extra blij dat Judith een deel van de premie inzet om het onderzoek naar de geschiedenis van het Nederlandse platteland een nieuwe impuls te geven.

Texas A&M President to Step Down After Controversy Over โ€˜Gender Ideologyโ€™

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

Het gaat om โ‚ฌ177 miljoen โ€“ slechts 0,5% van wat aan ondoelmatige fiscale regelingen opgaat. Geld is er genoeg. Wil niet.

What does Trumpโ€™s call for โ€˜gold standard scienceโ€™ really mean? Critics worry new executive order allows political appointees to determine how science is used in policy decisions

The order on Restoring Gold Standard Science allows a political appointee, without input from scientific experts, to unilaterally decide when findings require โ€œcorrectionโ€ and to discipline those deemed to have spread misinformation.

Opinie | Harvard moet zich weer ten dienste stellen van kennis, niet van sociale rechtvaardigheid Wetenschap: De strijd die Trump en zijn regering voeren tegen Harvard gaat veel te ver, schrijft Steven Pinker. Al is er het nodige mis aan de prestigieuze Amerikaanse universiteit.

Vooral het slot is prachtig: "Alles wat niet verboden wordt door natuurwetten is haalbaar, mits de juiste kennis voorhanden is.โ€ Het verlammen van de instellingen die kennis verwerven en overdragen, is een tragische blunder en een misdaad jegens toekomstige generaties. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Recently I found myself on Antipope Instagram, where there are endless reels of the current Antipope of the Palmarian Catholic Church.

This is, of course, extremely my jam, and I started reading up on them hoping to find some wild theology, but instead I found something WAY better...

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Womenโ€™s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history

It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

A formal letter dated April 11, 2025, from U.S. government agencies addressed to Dr. Alan M. Garber and Penny Pritzker of Harvard University. The letter, featuring logos from the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, and General Services Administration, expresses concerns about Harvard's failure to meet intellectual and civil rights expectations tied to federal funding. It proposes reforms as a basis for continuing financial support. Key provisions mentioned include governance and leadership reforms aimed at reducing influence from students and administrators focused on activism rather than scholarship.

The Trump Administration sent Harvard a detailed list of extreme demands on Friday. It called for the dismantling of "DEI" Harvard centers, including a legal clinic, tha study human rights, and the surveillance of students political views.

Harvard has responded and rejected these demands.
