Kyiv was under attack again this morning. 💔 A couple stands before the shattered remains of their home. Their son is still buried beneath the rubble.
So, dear Europeans, when your Russian visiting professors complain they are also victims — because they couldn’t fly from Berlin to Moscow to celebrate “May 9th” — remember this image.
There is a chasm between hypocrisy and terror.

A deep dive into the careers of 1647 Chinese 🇨🇳 and 75 Japanese 🇯🇵 academicians (1994–2019) reveals two distinct models of scientific excellence: one rooted in continuity & tradition, the other in rapid development & institutional diversity:

In #Japan, becoming an academician doesn't require studying abroad - yet it often leads to #Nobel Prizes. In #China, the path is faster, younger, n fuelled by state-driven talent policies.
“It’s mine, my own, my precious!” Turns out Gollum isn’t just a character from Tolkien 
— he lives in academia too. A global study finds that 44% of ecologists & conservation scientists have faced territorial behaviour: data hoarding, blocked access, stolen ideas.

It’s called the Gollum Effect — and it’s pushing early-career & marginalized researchers out of science.
My new article in 📘 Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe reviews academic uses of ruscism – not just rhetoric, but a way for Ukrainian scholars to name & understand Russia’s ideology of aggression.

This is about the intellectual front – the struggle to build Ukraine’s own epistemology of war, one that captures not only the effects but the origins of evil.

🚀 The #INNBI project keeps gaining momentum — our third meeting just wrapped up with energy and shared purpose!
Partners from 🇺🇦 🇦🇲 🇬🇪 🇲🇩 🇩🇪 are working together to move open science, high-quality metadata, and responsible bibliometrics forward — grounded in national contexts, but globally connected.
Together, we’re building a future where research infrastructures are open, interoperable, and inclusive.

Academics aren’t just choosing between home and office - they’re navigating spatial trade-offs shaped by discipline, task, and infrastructure. A massive study (7,800+ 🇮🇹 researchers) finds that access to labs pulls natural scientists to campus, while writers and analysts thrive at home - if conditions allow.
A must-read for universities rethinking space in a post-pandemic, war world:

It’s not about laziness vs discipline. It’s about spatial fit.

🕵️ This is how soft-power propaganda operates: through "objective" scientometric data, strategically framed to normalize the aggressor and obscure the voices of the oppressed. It is subtle — but no less dangerous. Shame on #ISSI2025 for platforming this.

🇺🇦 And most revealing: no word about Ukrainian researchers.
Not even in passing. As if we do not exist.
The erasure is not neutral — it is structural!
