I finished two big projects this November. Started the quilt in 1993 and the book in 2013. So, keep working on your big projects and they will get done, sooner or (much) later.

While many academic colleagues in Canada and elsewhere ponder whether or not to take a position about the Venezuelan authoritarian regime, the largest public university in the country has lost ~40% of staff and +50% of students due the crisis.

Silence is a mediocre position.

The government is getting ready for further isolation, increased sanctions and international ostracism. A cabinet shuffle brought in a historically inner-rival and hardliner/repressive figure-head, Diosdado Cabello, known for his anti-negotiation stances. https://t.co/mPradKZaeD

Massive oversubscription of bids announced today for the Bid Window 7 auction of the South African Renewable Energy IPP Procurement (REIPPP) programme, totalling 10218 MW in total, made up of 8526 MW solar PV and 1692 MW of onshore wind capacity. This is huge, showing the appetite by the private sector for participation in the electricity sector.

Columbia University president Shafik has resigned, and says will go back… to the UK House of Lords.

“I have been asked by the UK’s Foreign Secretary to chair a review of the government’s approach to international development… Enables me to return to the House of Lords…”

@LSEGovernment is hiring in political economy (broadly defined). IMO, LSE is one of the best homes for work on PE -- not least because of my many brilliant and supportive collegues in this area (including outside the dept). https://t.co/dLTR5sEgLa #psjobs #psjminfo @pspe_lse
