🎩 Behold, the mathematical wizardry of Joel David Hamkins, who has boldly declared that sets of natural numbers have a rich #lattice structure! 🤔 Truly #groundbreaking, except for the tiny detail that everyone with a basic understanding of set theory already knows this. Bravo, Professor Hamkins, for turning the obvious into a revelation! 🎉

My thoughts on 'Neoliberal peri‐urban economies and the predicament of dairy farmers: a case study of the Illawarra region, New South Wales' (Ren Hu & Nicholas J. Gill, 2022).
This paper includes a very thorough literary review and insights into the perceptions and experiences of Illawara dairy farmers as the region is urbanised.
The paper is perhaps worth a read if you are concerned with land-use issues in rural communities.

A question to the #AcademicCommunity: What makes a good conference badge?
Big badge or small? Horizontal or vertical orientation? -
3/ Jetzt sind es mehr als 5.000.
2019 haben 26.000 Wissenschaftler*innen als #Sientists4Future für mehr #Klimaschutz unterschrieben. Allerdings für alle deutschsprachigen Staaten. Aber 25.000 müssten wir doch jetzt auch zusammenkriegen. Inzwischen sind wir schon über 5 Jahre tiefer im Klimaschlammassel drin.
Guckt hier nach, ob Ihr jemanden kennt, der Euch als Wissenschaftler*in verifizieren kann:
https://www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/s4f/de/top/o2/stat.php
Und dann unterschreibt!
Los!
Und ruft Eure Kumpels/Kumpelinen an, denn die lesen vielleicht keine Mail.

My commentary on the paper 'The loss of peri-urban agricultural land and the state-local tensions in managing its demise: The case of Greater Western Sydney, Australia' (Amy Lawton, Nicky Morrison. 2022)
---
Peri-urban agricultural land is rapidly disappearing. Between 2011 and 2016, 66 per cent of primary production land in Greater Western Sydney was lost to urban development.Historically, these areas have played a crucial role in food security and resilience, providing not only food and fibre but also ecosystem services, flood and urban heat mitigation, recreation, and liveability benefits.
In this paper, Lawton and Morris argue that farming’s limited profitability incentivises an ageing generation of farmers to re-zone and subdivide their land as a retirement strategy. At the same time, conflicting state and local planning policies fail to safeguard peri-urban farmland from development.
As more peri-urban agricultural land is lost, young farmers struggle to access affordable land, and cities become increasingly dependent on lengthy, energy-intensive supply chains.
Meanwhile, ecosystems surrounding our most populated areas continue to be degraded.
---
The conclusions in this paper are corroborated by real world experiences of young farmers in Western Sydney and through to the west of the Blue Mountains.In these areas, personal contacts of mine have not been able to buy or even lease suitable land to grow food because land is typically valued for residential purposes, which far exceeds what is accessible for young farmers with no access to capital.
Even where land is zoned exclusively for agricultural purposes, developers and speculators are land banking which prevents farmers from utilising land.
In some cases young farmers have been exploited by developers in a scam to gain development approval. The farmers are 'employed' by land owners to develop agricultural activities on the land in order to gain development approval to build homes. However, once the homes are complete the owners cease farming activities and kick the farmers off the land.
In another case, a young farming couple were effectively locked out of their property by a non-farming neighbour, who bullied them via the courts until they sold him their land.

I think - from anecdotal evidence - more and more of us in higher ed want to think about evaluating student progress differently, and change our relationship to grades and grading. For me, it's about rediscovering the joy of teaching. There's little joy in assigning letter grades or numerical scores to student work... #highered #grading #HigherEducationResearch #AcademicCommunity @academicchatter https://higheredpraxis.substack.com/p/tip-so-you-want-grade-differently
