Myanmar, no earthquake assistance, instead a 44% tariff.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Even within transport, I sometimes come across a journal paper title that is unbelievably depressing... "Spatial accessibility to gun violence exposure on walkable routes to and from school" #Chicago [Really interesting paper using innovative data/methods though!] doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

“I don't wanna go far for stuff" My eloquent and powerful rebrand of the 15 minute city.

As a parent I love walkable neighbourhoods cause the kids can get places themselves. No big conspiracy, I’m just tired.

Around 4.5 million children are living in relative poverty after housing costs. 200,000 more since before the pandemic. These are record numbers of children living in poverty. Latest DWP figures on Households Below Average Income has found 🔽 1/3

🚨 New child poverty figures out today paint a stark picture - 22% of children in Scotland are trapped in poverty ➡️ While lower than the UK’s 31% rate, this still falls short of the 18% interim target. Urgent action is needed Our response ⤵️ www.ippr.org/media-office...

Taken #OTD in 1990. Concrete cathedral to car culture... David Rose captures the brutalist grandeur beneath the Kingston Bridge. From the book, 'Glasgow: 24-hours in the Life of a City' (March 27/28, 1990).

I became a transport engineer because I love to streets full of people standing, sitting and simply enjoying this #publicspace with others. #Verdun #Welliington #pedestrians

My first week on the Dundee Courier, and the newsdesk phone rang, saying something had happened... I was sent to find a reporter, I found him weeping in his car, childrens' blood on his brogues. Dunblane 13.3.1996

“Projects that are solely related to active transportation are now being red-flagged and anything involving multimodal transport are being yellow-flagged. Highway projects, she added, still have a green light.”

I've been expecting this but it doesn't make me any less angry.

Just seen this gem of a quote from Don Hedeker at the University of Chicago: 'Multilevel analysis => another example of Golden Rule of Statistics: “one person’s error term is another person’s (or many persons’) career”' 😂😂🤣

Afghanistan is no longer in the headlines as it once was, but the fate of Afghan women and girls should haunt the conscience of humanity. ⬇️ My piece ahead of International Women’s Day tomorrow. t.co/IdX4EuhLfn

Happy #IWD2025 - let’s create a world where all girls feel safe and free to be out and about in their streets and neighbourhoods!

🙌 I need this on a poster for my office!

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women around the world. 💐 Today, we celebrate your strength, resilience, and achievements in every aspect of life. May this day be a reminder of your worth, power, and the progress we continue to strive for together. Keep shining!

On #InternationalWomensDay I receive my regular reminder that I am privileged to feel joy in being a woman - I wonder if I would feel the same if I was in their position 💔: www.bbc.com/news/article...

This International Women’s Day, we’re incredibly proud to reveal the cover of our third book, “Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation”.

“Women’s voices are not being heard. Women are more than half our culture. If half the adults in our culture have no voice, half the world’s experience is not being attended to, learned from, or built upon.” - The Authority Gap Some authors we recommend in honor of #IWD2025. #AccelerateAction

I will now add 'opportunity to do rock detective activities' to my very lengthy list of benefits of walking rather than being driven:

Cool for cats This perjink pussycat was carefully reading the menu when photographer Jürgen Schadeberg stuck his head into this un-named Gorbals cafe in 1968.

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

It's been a long time since Private Eye's satire has made me audibly wince, but this is so to the point if it were a knife people would demand it be banned.

I love the snow, but sometimes it tells me stories about what drivers are up to that I honestly wish I didn’t know about. Like this one, where sometime today a driver apparently drove the wrong way down a 1 lane 1 way street, crossed a 2 way curb protected bikeway & sidewalk into someone’s yard. 🫠

No BBC, the bollards aren’t “crash prone”. The cars are. 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

UK greenhouse gas emissions statistics for 2023 out today: www.gov.uk/government/s... Graph shows proportion of territorial emissions from domestic transport, 1990-2023 In 1990 = c.16% (3rd highest emitting sector) 2023 = c.29% (1st) Passenger cars = 16% of all emissions in 2023

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Really nice article highlighting the importance of challenging the 'default car' assumption in areas beyond purely 'transport' policies and practices. Transport impacts upon all aspects of our lives, and all of the systems/practices we encounter in our lives influence our transport choices.

Ohh my gosh @metalprofessor.bsky.social !!!!!! 🤘 www.clashmusic.com/live/black-s...

To all my students battling with completing ethical approval forms right now, this is why we make such a huge deal of informed consent and other ethical practices 😬 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... (well, amongst many other reasons!)

Pretty funny that I had to ID cars in order to sign up to testify for our bill prohibiting employers from requiring driver's licenses when driving isn't an essential function of the job.

I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

While most public transport agencies think their job starts and ends at the turnstile, Dutch railways operate as a door-to-door mobility provider. By investing in cycle parking and sharing, their ridership and revenue levels have steadily increased, creating a virtuous circle of sustainable travel.
