The Washington Post Plans an Influx of Outside Opinion Writers
A new program, known internally as Ripple, would open The Post to journalists at other publications and influential writers on Substack.

I never guessed that our paper on non-state and philanthropic financing networks of girls' and women's education would come out amidst global ODA cuts, data obfuscation, and mentioning 🚺 in scientific publications would be flagged.
I, Ivan Matovich, Robin Shields, Yogesh Jadhav analyse the financing and implementation networks of girls' and women's education in Asia in the last issue of Comparative Education Review (68:4).

Stochastic inflation as a superfluid
We point out that inflationary superhorizon fluctuations can be effectively described by a set of equations analogous to those governing a superfluid. This is achieved through a functional Schrödinger approach to the evolution of the inflationary wavefunction, combined with a suitable coarse-graining procedure to capture large-scale dynamics. The irrotational fluid velocity is proportional to the gradient of the wavefunction phase. Marginalizing over short superhorizon modes introduces an exte…
