A great example of how to protect London from flooding & cut river pollution.
These rain gardens are in the valley of the lost River Fleet at St Pancras. They soak up 49,000 litres of rain & help prevent sewers spilling.
But we've paved so much of London we need many, many more

For the past ~12 months we've defaulted to coloring Nextstrain trees based on geography to highlight genomic tracking of spread of SARS-CoV-2 throughout the world. With one recent example being the spread of EU1 lineage throughout Europe. 1/3

Exclusive: Leaseholders, cladding campaigners & Grenfell United have written to Housing Secretary @RobertJenrick demanding an end to the cladding crisis.
They ask for a meeting with him by the end of Oct, and want all dangerous cladding removed by June 2022. @EOCS_Official @LBC

Dog owners. Keep your animals on a lead at this time of year in the #royalparks. The rut comes on quickly and the stags are much less tolerant and will attack when provoked.

Just imagine what will happen to your city if people shift from mass transit to private cars!
Make room for cycling and walking, or perish...

A reminder to please take your #litter home with you. Anything left out can be a danger to wildlife, like this bag on a deer's head in Richmond Park.

The power of photography to do its job. It's been said that pictures can be a window, or a mirror. In this case, a bit of both. Lovely portraits by @marybethmeehan rivet Newnan, Ga. causing introspection, concern, protest & thought. nytimes.com/2020/01/19/us/ne…

Not only is this ridiculous, it is probably bad for the financial performance of many restaurants bikeportland.org/2015/11/27/…

Friends at conferences - please do not assume that the people that you talk to do not know anything. I just got told that I should read what Stanton et al found about pain.

Ever wonder why you get so sleepy during conference talks? Turns out lots of conference venues aren't well-ventilated, causing CO2 to rise to levels that cause drowsiness (>1000ppm). Data from @keflavich shows this steady rise over the first 50min of a conference session.

The 1973 OPEC embargo—and resulting ‘Car Free Sundays’—opened Dutch people’s eyes to how much space in their cities was reserved for cars.
Could today's public transport strike—and Amsterdam's closure of a car-only tunnel—create a similar paradigm shift?

There is a major public transport strike today, which means no train, tram, bus, or ferry service across the Netherlands.
To retain timely and efficient access to the city, Amsterdam opened the (previously car-only) IJtunnel to bikes and emergency services.
