Germany’s Friedrich Merz will have a hard time freeing the country from its self-imposed shackles
"Chancellor Merz’s plans to revitalize Germany’s military and infrastructure could be seriously undermined by domestic forces – both within and outside of his coalition. It runs up against long-standing German norms and ideologies that threaten to hamper the state’s capacity and the government’s ability to act decisively," writes politics and international affairs professor Mark Vail. This article was originally published in The Conversation.

The Hechinger Report
Professor of the Practice of Management & Executive Director, Allegacy Center for Leadership and Character Pat Sweeney's research suggests younger people do see work differently. Sweeney teaches a course called Foundations of Leadership to undergraduates. He hears executives grouse that Gen Zers have “to earn their stripes” before being listened to. He pushes back. “It is not like we are treating them like snowflakes,” he said. “If we can provide them the flexibility and we can set boundaries where they do have a work-life balance, we’ll probably get the best out of them and they’ll stay on our team.”

NOAA shuts down disaster database as hurricane season nears, raising risks for Triad
Tracking the impacts of such events has, in part, relied on federal resources like NOAA’s Billion Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database, which is now scheduled to stop receiving updates after 2024. “This is part of a disturbing pattern.

Forty years of change in Louisiana’s wetlands
In the early 1800s, pirate Jean Lafitte smuggled goods and slaves through Louisiana’s muddy coastal waters, navigating the bayous, bays, and lakes up to New Orleans. However, any map he used would likely lead today’s sailors astray. Satellite images show that in the past 40 years alone, Louisiana’s coastal areas have undergone substantial changes. “Wetland managers need long time series data and a more holistic view of change so they can customize that data to their needs,” said engineering professor Courtney Di Vittorio, lead author of the study."

Pope Francis drew inspiration from Latin American church and its martyrs
Pope Leo XIV’s election marks a historic moment: the first pope from an English-speaking country, and the first from the United States. Even more significant than these “firsts,” I believe, is a “second”: Leo follows in Pope Francis’ footsteps as a priest shaped by the Latin American church. The new pope had a close relationship with Francis, whose legacy looms large. A key inspiration for that legacy, however, is the witness of Latin American Christians whose blood has been shed for justice, peace and the environment.
