Big thanks to @BtGProjectDC for a whirlwind New Era workshop this year, especially to @_danigilbert @fabiana_sofia @areddie89 @naazneenbarma @RachelWhitlark and many others. No better motivator than meeting exciting people doing exciting work, and also the mountains help.

I see a lot of discussion about dissatisfaction among Ukrainians with the Nobel Committee's decision to award the Peace Prize to human rights defenders from three countries at once. I will try to explain my view of the problem. 🧵1/7 #NobelPeacePrize
