Love this!

Jane Goodall has been a role model for generations of women scientists and ecologists. She taught us that we can follow our passion beyond the roles society assigns us — that we can be compassionate while still being ambitious. She opened the path and paved the way with elegance. Forever grateful!

The IPBES #NexusAssessment Report finds that using a ‘nexus’ approach to address intertwined environmental, social and economic crises is more effective than a siloed approach. Read more: https://www.ipbes.net/nexus/media-release

I highly recommend this training for anyone interested in making their local parks and green spaces safer for women and girls! The training is fabulous and evidence-backed! We found it reduced barriers to intervention and improved confidence in specific intervention skills.

While I did expect some pushback on my Hot Dog Urbanism ordinance from property owners who lose the veto power they currently enjoy, I did not expect folks to conclude that making it easier to come into legal compliance for street vending *checks notes* is pro human trafficking.

Food for thought

Climate change isn't just about extreme weather, it's about domino effects into national economies: Which country's economy do you think is most vulnerable to an existential crisis sparked by climate change? E.g. "Maldives: sea-level rise wiping out tourism and habitable land".

Looking for openly available: - before-after data in space - with a restoration measure inbetween (e.g. dam/invasive spec. removal, urban green space creation...) - min. 10 sites (quadrats / random places along a stream / ponds...) - species data, env. data of some sort, GPS coordinates

(FR) en tant qu'alpiniste, je pense que les mois les plus difficiles en termes d'impacts climatiques sur l'activité sont les mois de transition, lorsque la saison hivernale commence et lorsqu'elle se termine (EN) for alpinism, I see climate impacts could be worst early and late in the winter season

We also want to remind our listeners that Gaza has for many centuries been a centre of learning & high culture; was once famous for its wine, its pleasures & Dionysian festivals; that it was a place of great wealth; & a city where people have lived and loved for many millennia linktr.ee/empirepoduk

Risk lists matrices cannot represent anymore what's going on in the world. How should we represent risks next? How to represent existential risks for societies and civilisations?

If riots in EU countries could be a signal, what could be a forthcoming worst-case scenario for 2026? A Berlin-wall type of event series leading to change, with intentions that are finally derailed, and system change leaving people worst off. What could be learned from Chile and the Arab Spring?

Very exciting to get phase 1 of the Landport Brooks restoration project underway this week with ditch management! 🚜👷💪 Over the course of the project interventions will benefit a range of wildlife & restore habitat in this floodplain grazing marsh! Great partnership with Lewes District Council👏

Nice way of improving wellbeing and dialogue across postdoc communities!

Maps, roads, and skylines don’t tell the whole story of our cities. Invisible barriers + hidden connections shape urban life in ways we rarely see. I’ll dig into this at my ACM SIGSPATIAL keynote “Cities Beyond Maps.” See you all! 🚶‍♂️🏙🏢 sigspatial2025.sigspatial.org/keynotes/

Important to note!

Tried to type 'fascinating' and my phone only suggested 'fascism', and that kinda sums up 2025.

The idea of a “housing shortage” is misleading. And building more homes won’t help if investors keep buying. You solve the housing crisis when investors quit the market. Two good pieces in the FT: www.ft.com/content/d905... www.ft.com/content/48bd...

How long are we going to be OK with an economic system where everything trembles at all times? Look at it from the point of view of construction standards.

People want to demonstrate the desperation they feel towards the famine in Gaza and the planned annexation of the west bank through peaceful protest, and it is difficult for many of us to see the mass arrests of people holding placards. We must reflect again on the effects of proscription.
