"With my colleagues (Tymofiy Mylovanov, Ivan Gomza and Oleg Nivievskiy), we thought, we are scholars, so we need to host a lecture. As academics, we wanted to produce knowledge, share knowledge" @KyivSchool @oniviev1 @Mylovanov

Everytime I hear explosions in Kyiv and feel scared, I am thinking about these two guys, my friends and colleagues who are actually at the front lines now. Both worked at @KSE_Institute , both studied data science in the UK and came back to Ukraine.

The Kyiv School of Economics is no longer just a school of economics. During the war, we have grown into a university The photo shows about half of the new faculty. Raised hands - about 80% - are mathematicians, IT specialists, psychologists, sociologists, historians

This weekend I spent a few hours coding in R, basic tidyverse, basic regressions, nothing special. Was pretty cool, but felt like something from another alternative reality. Doing research with air syrens is weird :/

My other former student was KIA by #RussianArmy . Roman Yanyshev. He was a leader of students’ government at @KarazinUniver , engaging in the artistic life of the Uni. He was skipping some lectures due to that and sometimes I was too strict abt this. I am so sorry now, Roman! RIP

As @jasonintrator said , imperialists, colonialists, and fascists attacks are always on intellectual life as well. Our lectures of solidarity show that the Ukrainian academia is resilient as other institutions. Thanks to prof Stanley for his talk and fascinating QA!
