> Student loans in default to be referred to debt collection, Education Department says
https://apnews.com/article/student-loan-debt-default-collection-fa6498bf519e0d50f2cd80166faef32a

Ah, The Man is sending the goons to collect the juice loans.

(TBH, having a goon break your leg for not paying a juice loan may be a better option than what The Man WILL do to you if your college juice loan is in default.)

Historical holes: Beneath the surface, caves hold the key to Australia’s wildfire history

My colleague @michcampbell recently held a postdoctoral research grant from AINSE. They've just released this 2025 Research Spotlight for early career researcher awardees all about her fire research. I think this is nicely done. If you'd like to know how caves and cave stalagmites can be used to reconstruct records of past fires, here's the article

Update. "As Trump’s Cuts Loom Large, Colleges Are Under Pressure to Punish Anti-Israel Speech."

Kate Hidalgo Bellows gets this right. #Trump treats criticism of #Israel as #antisemitism and pressures colleges and universities to do the same.

"The #Trump administration has promised to pull funding from colleges that don’t punish people for criticizing Israel, on the basis that it is antisemitic."

But of course we have the same right to criticize Israel that we have to criticize any country. There's nothing intrinsically antisemitic about it.

Don't take my word for it. Ask the majority of Israelis who join this criticism.

Thoughts: Good data visualization is just as important in clear academic writing as the text itself.

Zijn universiteiten woke? | Alain-Laurent Verbeke | Buitenhof

Een gesprek Alain-Laurent Verbeke, hoogleraar aan Harvard en hoogleraar Rechten van de KU Leuven, over hoe Trump de vrijheid de academische vrijheid ondermijnt, waarom Trump niet onderhandelt maar dicteert en waarom universiteiten meer ruimte voor verschillende meningen moeten bieden.
