No masks. Shaking hands. Bustling crowds. Fully open economy. New Zealand earned this by locking down early & hard, pursuing a zero-covid strategy.

Libertarians would love to be in this position, but they are their own worst enemies in a pandemic. Now we’re in a mess.

Brilliant by @fotoole “If Cummings were half as smart as he is supposed to be, he would have shown some glimmer of understanding that this kind of betrayal is of a completely different order to the one he and Johnson engage in so routinely.” https://t.co/TeGfiiJiPE

One good thing about #DominicCummngs affair is that it will add to the stock of British proverbial/colloquial humour...
‘Sorry, officer, I was just following my instincts...’. And, best of all, when I want to go for a drink ‘ I *must* go out for a drive to check my eyesight...’

For today’s meetings and webinars I would have had to been in Florence, Luxembourg, Copenhagen, London and/or New York, but I did all of them from the ultimate metropol of Espoo. No flights. No jet-lag. No problems. Increasing productivity in my line of work. #covid19

For my Germanic friends: Claudia Brunner’s postcolonial / feminist reading of epistemic violence. I had the pleasure to examine this as a Habilitationsschrift and it’s great to see it arrive in printed book-form today. Here a free-access version online: https://t.co/zbeyodmAZw

Nachdem sich gestern alle vier deutschsprachigen Statistik-Kritiker vom #Bild-Artikel distanziert haben, wurden heute englische Statistiker für einen weiteren Angriff missbraucht. Auch diese haben sich allerdings postwendend distanziert.

[Frank Gadinger @gadinsky]

If you are interested in science studies, practices of boundary work, and environmental governace, my colleague @andreslop28 just published an excellent piece in our research paper series at the @GCR_21 !

[CEN Uni Hamburg @cenunihh.bsky.social @CENunihh]

Die heute erschienene Studie "Unkonventioneller Klimaschutz" von @FelixSchenuit #CLICCS @unihh und @Oliver_Geden @SWP_Europe zeigt, warum trotz massiver Widerstände kein Weg an der Abtrennung und Speicherung von CO2 unter der Erde vorbei führt. https://t.co/D2hgK4Rb7A

Teaching Inl Relations and its Worlds of Difference: "From the #GlobalSouth", co-ed by Arlene Tickner & Karen Smith, is the #IR textbook many have been waiting for, available now to pre-order in the #WorldingBeyondTheWest series @Rout_PoliticsIR. W/ a special thought to Lily Ling

So that was it. The most bizarre presser I have seen so far in the UK.

We are in Trump country now.

@Gemenne @StefanAykut @antje_wiener @JanWilkens @HofiusMaren @JenniferBansard @FelixSchenuit @LaurenceTubiana Probably best to look at this not as what can we move to virtual, what must be physical, but go further into what the multilateral climate process needs to deliver and how ��� we have not had (or wanted to have) that conversation

[Benjamin Tallis 🇺🇦 @bctallis]

Very important - on Lene Hansen’s response to the misrepresentation of her work #SecuritizationTheory

[Stefan C. Aykut @StefanAykut]

If you missed it:
Excellent thread by the great @pwatkinson on #digitaldiplomacy, and issues of #access and #equity to international negotiations in times of Corona.

Professor Astrid Wallrabenstein elected to the (German) Federal Constitutional Court (2nd Senate), replacing outgoing President Vosskuhle. Justice Harbarth new president. For the first time in its history, the FCC has 8 female and 8 male judges. #bverfg
