Denying Same-Sex Marriage Is Unconstitutional, Japanese High Court Says

The court, however, does not have the power to overturn the current marriage law, which has been interpreted to restrict marriage as between a man and a woman.

@stevendbrewer In our department there is also two other researchers that are not my advisors that will read it as the "internal review," but anyway good idea to look at my advisors' dissertations! I haven't done this in a long while and notice this could be helpful 😊

@benfmaier These reflections were very helpful, thank you! I think especially the focus of the Introduction of "why someone would want to read my thesis" resonates with the other tips I gathered from my colleagues, and is also the approach I am deciding to go for now😊

Does anyone have tips for good resources on how to structure your PhD dissertation (monograph)? Particularly struggling with how I want to write my Introduction (and what should go under Theory chapter vs Introduction).

“I couldn’t move for a postdoc. Fellowship reviewers shouldn’t have penalized me for it”, writes Shanta Hejmadi for “Science”.

3 more days until I submit my first draft to my supervisors! There is a mix of stress/anxiety (that I still want to finish a few more parts so there is text) and excitement (then I can do so much... mainly rest!!!😴) Now there is a new feeling also emerging - actually looking forward to trying to read through the whole thing that I have been writing for more than 5 years (!) 📖✏💡

“Even a year ago, the conversation on fossil fuel phase-out at COP28 was completely unthinkable,” Jonas Kuehl, IISD

“This is the first COP where the words fossil fuels are actually included in the draft decision. This is the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era.” Mohamed Adow, Power Shift Africa

As the COP28 negotiations drag on, I think it's essential to recognize that, regardless of the results, change IS happening.

Even if COP28 fails, it has changed the conversation on fossil fuels

Countries at the COP28 climate summit are still struggling to reach a deal on phasing out fossil fuels, but even having discussions on an end to the main cause of global warming is huge progress, say campaigners and researchers
