What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Really feeling for colleagues at ANU. In far too many instances the neoliberal university model seems to have produced toxic and unhappy workplace cultures. *Who* could have predicted that a capitalist business model for universities would lead to unhappy workplaces 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great keynote from @jacqpriego.bsky.social kicking off #ICRMC25 - I particularly enjoyed the part about pleasure, fun, and joy as spaces of resistance for researchers ❤️

Malhotra, a prominent anti vaccine voice during the peak of the covid pandemic was given a platform by Reform where not only did he reassert his anti-vax rhetoric but he made allegations of the vaccine causing the Royal family to have cancer. There is NO evidence linking the vaccines to cancer 🧪🧵

Where would I start? Discouraging short car trips for those who can walk, obvs, and taking steps like banning pavement parking and fixing pelican crossings to make walking easier and quicker. Getting house builders to stop building car-dependent transport deserts could also be a lasting impact

It's disappointing that the government's plan to get people moving is focused around "Go for a jog" rather than, as the evidence suggests, building environments that encourage everyday incidental exercise: the ability to walk to amenities liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/388...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Important commentary on Gaza from my colleague Ritesh Shah, around the nonsense (in both senses) that is the silence of "political neutrality" articulated by universities in the face of genocide, scholasticide, and the requests from staff for divestment.
