  1. Spanish minister bids for top UN labour agency post amid US funding crisis

    Spain has officially nominated its Labour Minister and Second Deputy Prime Minister, Yolanda Díaz, to run for Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO). If elected, Díaz would become the first woman to lead the Geneva-based UN agency in i…

  2. RE: kolektiva.social/@DoomsdaysCW/

    25 years ago I visited (as a prospective intern) a community mental health center in Salt Lake City, UT. I was blown away by what I learned: it seemed to be a financially solvent CMCH providing housing to almost all their clients who needed it. Most CMHCs are constantly struggling for cash, turning people away, and underpaying their staff who are a self-selecting group of -professionals willing to take a pay cut so they can serve the people who need to be helped.

    The director told us that, several years earlier, they had hired a finance person who convinced the execs to take a risk: instead of renting apartments as needed for their unhoused clients, they bought some units. They saved money pretty quickly (possibly due to cultural/geographic factors difficult to replicate elsewhere; IDK) and bought more housing units. By the time I visited they owned several apartment buildings. They rented some of the apartments at market rates, which allowed them to give sliding-fee rents to clients who needed housing; apparently, plenty of clients got free housing. After a few years, he said, they were housing nearly all clients who needed it, and of course the treatment success rates went up, because not having to worry about housing is great for mental health, keeping jobs, childcare, etc. Many clients' incomes grew, so they started paying more rent and increasing the organization's ability to provide services, including more housing.

    Someone in our applicant group asked something like "do you have some buildings for clients and others for non-client residents?" He said no, they were mixed, and (a) the non-client residents, who knew that many of their neighbors were struggling with mental health and substance use, seemed quite happy to live in the units; they were priced affordably in the market, for one thing; (b) the clients benefited by living in "normal housing" instead of being sequestered in "low-income" or "mentally ill" apartment complexes. Many people reportedly formed lasting friendships and the clients seemed to do better, overall, with mixed-income neighbors.

    I think (? long time ago, hazy memory) he said they had become one of the larger real estate owners in the Salt Lake Valley, and the CMHC had a significant investment fund that they used for services most CMHCs can't afford.

    I only know his spiel, so I only know the PR from 25 years ago (approximately 2003), but for a grad student working in a standard underfunded CMHC, damn was that ever impressive. I've often wondered (a) how much of the spiel was PR vs reality, and (b) how realistic this would be for other CMHCs. If even half of it was non-bullshit, it's deeply impressive.

    I didn't get the SLC placement, sadly. The CMHC I worked at right then, in Columbus, Ohio, had two separate CEOs led out of the main offices in handcuffs within two years, allegedly for embezzling and other stuff. We were not the same.

    Edit: conciseness

  3. New study: "Shortly after major policy changes to US science funding began in early 2025, we surveyed 916 young biomedical scientists – PhD students and postdoctoral researchers – about their career intentions and expectations…Barely half of respondents now say they are likely to remain in academia, down 22% from how they felt six months earlier. The fraction likely to stay in the United States fell by 21%."

  11. "When governments and big companies borrow money, they don’t ask a bank for a loan. Instead, they sell IOUs to investors and promise to repay the money with a certain interest rate. If those IOUs are set to be repaid many years from now, they’re called #bonds".

    "Rising prices make bond purchasers think that the nominal annual fixed interest they will get from the bond will be devalued over time by inflation, so the real return they get will fall. So bond holders will only buy bonds in the secondary market at lower prices to compensate. As we have explained above, falling bond prices means higher yields. Also governments issuing new bonds will have to offer higher fixed rates to attract new purchasers."

  15. Recently an #ECR colleague was told for a ~£5,000 grant that they had no evidence of delivering on something like their submission successfully.

    Given that they have a substantial publication record and they had applied the same methods multiple times and delivered (just without third-party funding), this was surprising.

    I am wondering how to advise ECRs about getting their first PI grants, if this is really is the situation we are in...

    “Andy Burnham’s campaign to replace Keir Starmer was backed with more than £340,000 in large donations, primarily from figures associated with Keir Starmer’s leadership, including the scandal-ridden think tank recently rebranded as ThinkLabour.

    Much of the cash came from Lord Sainsbury, a New Labour minister who also funds Labour Together alongside a small number of high-net-worth mega donors, including Gary Lubner, a South African billionaire who also donated to Burnham’s campaign”

  28. Edit: raised $50 so far. Please help us get that other $700 covered ASAP? If you can't cover it all, any part of it you can cover is less still to raise.

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but if we can't raise Atha and Inara the $750 to cover immigration bureaucracy within the next week, a cascade of problems will unfold that jeopardizes the future of not only Atha and Inara, but also the entire project of the Vulpibus. Problems including a $500 fine imposed in court, points on the license, more expensive insurance, inability to get paid work in the USA and probably inability to leave the USA for any chosen reason too. Problems also potentially including deportation of Atha back to the UK.

    USCIS made a mistake and they are leaving it to us to pick up the pieces, and fast.

    But we found 165 trips were either funded by the foreign government concerned, or by UK-based ‘Friends Of’ groups dedicated to promoting the country in Westminster.

    In total, these 165 trips were valued at almost £695,000”
