Hyvinvointivaltio on mahdollista ylläpitää nollakasvun taloudessa, osoittaa Helsingin yliopiston väitöstutkimus. Tutkimus haastaa käsityksen, jonka mukaan hyvinvointi edellyttää jatkuvaa kasvua. #[www.helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/y...

Tutkijayhteisöä lähinnä ärsyttää tällainen Suomen onnettoman ja surkean tutkimusrahoituksen naamiointi mukamas takeeksi laadusta. Yritetään naamioida rahoituksen vähyys takeeksi laadusta. Tällä tavalla kuitenkin Akatemia lähtee päättäjien leikkiin mukaan ja vain vahvistaa tätä ideologiaa.

Plant phenology tends to track with climate warming, but it could also be sensitive to biotic factors. This study shows that a single year of tree responses to intense insect herbivory can counteract a decade of environmentally driven shifts in spring phenology 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Jos eduskunta hyväksyy ydinenergialain muutokset, jatkossa virkamiehet tekisivät päätökset pienydinvoimaloista, ja periaatepäätöstä tehtäessä ydinvoimalan sijoituskunnalta ei kysyttäisi mielipidettä eikä ympäristövaikutuksia arvioitaisi. Mielestämme tämä on pöyristyttävää. www.sll.fi/ajankohtaist...

Ydinenergialakiin radikaaleja muutoksia – päätöksenteko pois eduskunnalta, voimalan sijaintikunnalla ei sananvaltaa periaatepäätökseen

Hallitus haluaa, ettei eduskunnalla ole jatkossa sananvaltaa ydinvoimaloiden rakentamisessa. Pienydinvoimaloista päätökset tekisivät virkamiehet.

Pääsin viime viikolla Karjaan lukion ympäristökurssille kertomaan työstäni ekologian tutkijana. Kiitos opiskelijoille hyvistä ja rohkeista kysymyksistä! Kerroin mm. tutkijan palkasta ja siitä, voik rotan biologiaa muuttaa niin, että se lentäisi (arvelin droonikyborgirotan olevan nopein ratkaisu).

My thought-provoker today: www.nature.com/articles/d41... I hadn't realised the connection between the rising bar for funding & the increased use of AI in generating applications. So topical for an early-career researcher trying to secure the next funding. I wonder how (quickly) funders can adapt.

nature.com

Could agentic AI topple grant-funding systems?

Funders must take action before an increase in submission of high-quality proposals written using AI models makes it impossible to sort the wheat from the chaff.
