Trying to explain to your kids that hard work and being a decent person pays off, while they watch the circus rewarding those who shout the loudest and cheat the most, feels a bit like teaching algebra to a goldfish – you give it your best, but deep down, you know it’s hopeless.

Today Science|Business published new statistics about EU funding. We at ⁦@lunduniversity⁩ are happy (and a bit choked) that Lund University was 5th biggest university in Europe in getting EU funding in 2023. https://t.co/8mwcCLC32r

It is rather dated by now but still I get asked to re-post. There are two serious publications and data related to it. https://t.co/UwuUpFRC7y , https://t.co/xaAWkdDUsN, https://t.co/TEHu6zSvWQ

Today I am signing the book contract with Edgar Elgar Publishing for a book about the Geography of Poverty- theory, data and methods. Featuring several interesting contributors. There is still room for one or two texts. Contact me if interested.@Lundsuni @pol_LU @CIRCLE_LU @sustforum_LU

Our study reveals how satellite imagery & AI are transforming poverty analysis. Key findings:
- Integrative review of welfare prediction literature.
- Factors like data preprocessing, AI model choice crucial.
- Stock measure indicators outperform flow measures in welfare prediction.
- Machine learning + deep learning combo boosts accuracy.
- Spatial resolution of imagery: important, yet not critical.

Utvecklingsforskningen hårt sargad efter indraget stöd. Statsvetaren Anders ­Uhlin menar att de indragna anslagen till utvecklingsforskning är ett utslag av ideologisk styrning från regeringen.

"Today's Dagens Nyheter coverage on the Nobel Prize is intriguing! Instead of laureates, the spotlight is on politicians, comedians, and royalty. Long live science!
