Sophie Scheytt, Expertin für Asylpolitik bei Amnesty International in Deutschland, sagt: "Dies ist ein weiterer zynischer Versuch der EU, sich der Verantwortung für den Schutz von Geflüchteten zu entziehen und sie auf andere Länder abzuwälzen."

Economen en beurzen waarschuwen voor de tarieven, wetenschappers voor de kaalslag in research, gezondheidswerkers voor de ontmanteling van de gezondheidsdiensten. De Republikeinen kijken niet gewoon weg, ze lijken hun denkvermogen uit te schakelen. Dit lijkt stilaan een Chinese revolutie.
For experienced postdoctoral researchers with a strong track record interested in pursuing an independent research project in my group - focussing on mapping Ireland’s energy transition and delivering carbon budgets - this is a good opportunity to apply for funding from SEAI. Please do get in touch.
If you've ever said "that journalist interviewed me for half an hour and quoted just one sentence," or "that journalist interviewed my academic archnemesis in an article about my work," or "why is the headline of the article about my work so bad," you need to read this. 🧪
Agus ana chuid mná mar an chéanna faraor!
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
