@mariarostrublee.bsky.social highlights that for countries like 🇰🇷 and 🇦🇺, adherence to #nonproliferation norms is a catalyst for, rather than a constraint on, national power, advocating for a partnership between Seoul and Canberra to champion the peaceful and responsible use of nuclear technology.
We invited experts to respond to ROK FM Cho's argument that non-proliferation is "a strategic imperative." They agreed on the goal but challenged Seoul to do more to back it up. Jun Bonggeun, Maria Rost Rublee, and Toby Dalton respond: www.apln.network/analysis/the...

“In Japan and Italy, women spend three hours more than men per day on household and care tasks,” @byheatherlong.bsky.social wrote about Claudia Goldin’s recent research. “In Sweden, it’s less than an hour difference. Sweden’s fertility rate is notably higher.”

“Regional political and diplomatic fallout from resumed U.S. nuclear testing would be significant. The global norm against nuclear testing — violated in the past 20 years only by North Korea — would be weakened, making it easier for other states to restart their nuclear tests.”

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
