Not thrilled to see my country becoming a "Vhere are your papers!?" society.
I think the long-term damage to social trust and cohesion will be significant.

Oh wow. Lanes on I-10 narrowed suddenly, forcing ALL drivers to exit at a weigh station.
A makeshift checkpoint—digital sign read: “Have Passport Ready”
1 of like 12 ICE agents, all standing around—in full military gear—ordered me to open my window:
“You a U.S. citizen?”
“Uh yes” then let me go..

It was a great honor and pleasure for Laure Vandersmissen and myself to lead the first of two Master of Arts in Public Policy and Management (MAPPM) study tours to Singapore this summer! The students took home valuable insights about housing and environmental policy, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was a lot of work but great to get this recognition of the valuable contributions that our flagship Master's degree team is making, and the wonderful students we have!
Last call for @irspm.bsky.social in Perth - final abstract deadline is Sat., 18 Oct. (midnight AWST)! @oliver--james.bsky.social @ksweissmueller.bsky.social & I will be hosting P11 and look forward to your behavioral and experimental work. As always we'll have constructive and thoughtful discussion.
