“Embarrassing for the self-proclaimed leader of the free world.” . Whatever global soft power the U.S. had left is being obliterated right before our eyes ….
Beschämend für die Nation, die die freie Welt anzuführen für sich in Anspruch nimmt. Den Präsidenten eines angegriffenen Staates auf offener Bühne so zu attackieren, zeigt, dass wir uns auf Trump nicht verlassen können. Europa ist auf sich gestellt.

When the Matthew Effect meets nepo babies . "Academics from poorer backgrounds introduce more novel scientific concepts, but are less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.".
Nepo babies run academia!. 50% of US profs come from rich families, ~5% from poor ones. Kids tend to follow parents (architect dad = architecture prof). Plus working-class profs either don't publish or make huge breakthroughs when they do. Get less credit despite equal output.
