The Open and Rocky Road Post-2015 :: What values does a Yemeni journalist who fuelled the Arab Spring hold in common with a former principal of the U.S. National Security Council? And how in turn will they see eye to eye with a Jordanian queen, or the president of Indonesia?

Australian politics cools off on climate change – even as the temperature rises :: The 2013 poll will pit rampant denialism against grudging action based on political expediencyIn 2007, a tyro Australian opposition leader called Kevin Rudd held a summit in which he labelled climate change the "great moral challenge of our generation" and, rather optimistically, added "we should be at a stage in this country where climate change is beyond politics".Within months, Rudd swept to power in a landmark election that deposed John Howard, the long-term conservative prime minister and climate-change curmudgeon.Australia, one of the world's leading per capita emitters and the foremost coal exporter on the planet, swiftly signed up to the Kyoto protocol, with the government promising its own cap-and-trade bill. But in 2013, Rudd's idealism on the issue of climate change now appears ...

Barack Obama and the 'empathy deficit' :: The US president claims the 'empathy deficit' is a more pressing problem than the federal deficit, but empathy may be merely a product of changing scientific fashionsIn 2011, researchers at the University of Chicago conducted a simple experiment to ascertain whether a rat would release another rat from a cage without being given a reward. The answer was yes. After several sessions, the rats learned intentionally and quickly to open the restrainer and release the caged rats. The rats also repeated the behaviour even when they were denied the reward of reunion. Even more astonishing, when the rats were presented with two cages, one containing a rat, the other chocolate, they chose to open both cages and "typically shared the chocolate".For the researchers, the conclusion was inescapable: the...

What cost learning? :: One of the effects of the grim economic situation affecting much of the world is its potential impact on funding available for education and in particular continuing professional development (CPD). It has only in recent years in the United Kingdom has there been a move in levelling of the 'playing fields' that has seen allied health professionals getting a fairer access to CPD funding compared with the larger groupings of medicine and nursing. Unfortunately it will come as no surprise if all groups experience a fall in available funding to support learning activities as organisations tighten their belts.

VIB applies for second poplar field trial :: (VIB (the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology)) VIB asked the federal government for a license to perform a second field trial with genetically modified poplars. Wood from these trees can be converted to sugars in a more efficient and more environmentally friendly manner. One of the aims is to evaluate how the trees perform under realistic outdoor conditions. Another aim is to expose the wood to empirical conversion trials. The field trial will take place at ILVO Wetteren and falls under the "Ghent Bio-Economy" focal point of University of Ghent.
