Pressure to publish jumps. And researchers have no time to do science.
(New survey from Elsevier)

Survey of 3200 researchers:

1. Only 45% of scientists have sufficient time for actual research.

2. For 68%, the pressure to publish today is greater than 2-3 years ago.

3. 29% of researchers are considering relocating to another country (for better funding, work‐life balance, or greater research freedom).

4. 58% of researchers use AI tools in their work.

5. Reported benefits from AI: saving time (58%), helping with literature summaries (61%), literature reviews (51%), data analysis (38%), drafting proposals (41%), and drafting papers (38%).

Globally, life in academia is getting worse.

For students & postdocs - it’s especially hard to decide on an academic career.

❗️ A few days ago, I gave a lecture on this topic.

“PhD: Dreams, Reality and Consequences”

Adrian Olouch: There are allegations that the reason why DIG Lagat cannot be arrested is because he is a henchman to Ruto, and he is going to be the person who will be taking over the National Police Service before 2027 in preparation for the elections. Are we safe as citizens?

"Why should someone print paper and hand them over to us (AFRICA) and require us to pay back, not with another paper but our resources. I have come to the realization that this is an act of a modern Slavery and Colonization." ~ Paul Kagame

President William Ruto’s advisors now total 17 in just over 10 months despite his austerity pledge to cut the number by half.

The cost of the advisors, paid for by taxpayers, continues to rise.

Two young men in Eldoret have been murdered.

Abdi Ali (25) was murdered by police who handcuffed him and threw him in a river.

Samwel Jitu (21) witnessed the murdered of his friend Abdi & was thereafter abducted, stabbed, & dumped in the same river.

We keep saying this.

Carbon credits are a con game.
A get rich quick scheme that benefits individuals and causes pain.

A climate solution that displaces communities and allows polluters to keep polluting is not a real solution.

It's greedy greenwashing.
Stop it!

I would like to express my gratitude to all the peace-loving, freedom-loving patriots and pan-Africanists who rallied around the world on Wednesday April 30, 2025 to support our commitment and our vision for a new Burkina Faso and a new Africa, free from imperialism and neo-colonialism.

Your active solidarity and this demonstration of sympathy strenghtens our conviction that the fight we are waging for a fairer and more equitable world is justified.

We will never bend our backs in the face of adversity; we will stand firm until our peoples are truly emancipated. With you, we are certain that victory over the forces of evil is at hand.

Together, in solidarity, we will defeat imperialism and neo-colonialism for a free, dignified and sovereign Africa.

Folks,

Finance Bill 2025 is out!

The last time we saw Finance Bill close to this lean in pages was in 2021 (47 pages) & that was coming on the back of two COVID-19 induced Tax Laws legislations.

Some key highlights from my reading.

Rigathi Gachagua: The person responsible for the conflicts in Sudan is William Ruto. He is smuggling gold in Sudan along with Mohamed Hamdan to buy guns. He should be sanctioned.

Whenever these goons are unleashed (even during the protest) there's no law enforcement in sight. It's always civilians who should fend for themselves. When innocent unarmed protesters take to the streets, there's a whole army to meet them with brutal violence and even death.
