My commentary on @bruceellis.bsky.social, @briemreid.bsky.social & Karen Kramer’s recent #BBS article (tinyurl.com/299yvjd5) is just out. I enjoyed the target article, and also the challenge of writing a response with data in it - especially keeping it all under 1000 words! doi.org/10.1017/S014...

I can confirm that this is great advice. I try to avoid flying within Europe where I can, as the trains good and are far more sustainable. Also, last time I flew, my luggage was lost! The Man in Seat 61 site has advice for pretty much every rail journey one might imagine. #TakeTheTrain

Booking travel for #EHBEA2025?? Consider taking the train! 🚂 It’s easier and quicker than you might expect. Plus, it’s more comfortable and sustainable than flying. 🍃 🛤️ Helpful guide here: www.seat61.com/european-tra... #EvolutionaryScience #SustainableConferencing @ehbea.bsky.social
