Stockholm University

You see, they got to get the costumes out.

Shout out to one of the real stars of studying hybrid warfare, Mina Ålander, who is an analyst from Stockholm University.

Basically, he's concluded that Russia's sabotage in Europe is increasing and is focusing, as we've noticed, even in Estonia on defense production facilities.

Problem is the Europeans were rather slow on that.

And some PFAS scientists share that concern.

For example, Ian Cousins, Stockholm University, he's a very well-known PFAS expert.

He told me that he really opposes splitting consumer and industrial uses for precisely this reason.

All right.

The grade doesn't come through.

And I think it also happens, like when I've been teaching at Stockholm University, there was, I noticed a decline in curiosity.

And curiosity is a form of risk taking, isn't it? Like, you don't know if you're curious, you don't know where it's going to lead you.

And that's why they say curiosity killed the cat.

It has taken us less than 200 years to make it undrinkable for all life on the planet.

That's the unanimous conclusion of scientists from Stockholm University and ETH Zurich.

Forever chemicals have spread throughout our planet's entire atmosphere.

Report then states rainwater samples taken from Antarctica to the Dupetan Plateau to Greenland to southwestern Australia have all shown disturbingly high concentrations of PFAS, forever chemicals.

My name is Shruti Rajagopalan, and this is the 2026 Job Market series, where I speak with young scholars entering the academic job market about their latest research on India.

I spoke with Vaibhav Rathi, who's a doctoral candidate in economics at Stockholm University.

We discussed his job market paper titled Political Influence, Bureaucratic Priorities and Capital Accumulation in India.

We talked about bureaucratic state capacity in India, the role of bureaucrats in approving large infrastructure projects, whether politicians use their influence to distort administrative priorities, the impact of these processes on private investment and much more.

The count of PFAs and other toxic chemicals in the water, which we knew.

But a study by Stockholm University and ETH Zurich found that all rainwater on Earth is now unsafe to drink due to the levels of PFAs and other shit.

The loving forever chemicals are part of future reality that we're going to have to deal with and learn to live with and through.

I'm just... and bereft remember that stupid scene in the graduate when he gets a kid in the

Yeah, that's a really good point.

And for readers who aren't familiar with this, I have an anthology with a book with Charlotta Stern up in Stockholm University of Sweden about classical liberalism.

And the focus there is always about individual freedom or agency in some way.

And here this really kind of tests the limits because typically classical liberal thought, they'll say things like, well, we value material well-being, so we'd like free markets.

All right, let's tease them apart.

The biggest new study comes from researchers at Stockholm University and the University of Hong Kong.

Published in June, it uses two and a half years of data on nearly 30,000 Chinese students in grades seven to twelve, so roughly ages 12 to 18.

China makes for a fascinating natural laboratory because AI adoption among students there has been fast.
