Intensionality and Forcing: A New Model-Theoretic Synthesis

Imagine trying to explain what a belief or the meaning of a sentence really is. We use them constantly—when we say “I think it will rain” or when we understand a joke—but they are surprisingly hard for science to pin down. Even simple ideas can fool our theories. Two sentences might always be tru...

Rule of Law and the Public Sense of Justice in Norway - International Conventions and National Norms in a Time of Crisis (PublicJustice)

We currently find ourselves in the middle of a global rule of law crisis.

Discovering vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer by measuring double stranded RNA

Only a small part of DNA is transcribed and converted into functioning molecules, or in other words, expressed. Healthy cells tightly control which regions are expressed, however, cancer cells lose this regulatory control to allow uncontrolled cell growth. Interestingly, loss of regulatory contro...
