Sweeps have smaller interaction production (x-axis ) than non-normal production (y-axis) relative to boundary-layer flow in general (dashed lines) despite strong normal straining. (Loss of) alignment must be key: doi.org/10.1007/s42241-022-0…

A while back @CamilloBoano & I invited our @grripp friends to think collectively & submit an entry describing emotional landscapes & thinking in darker times. This Lexicon is the result of such collective engagement, which we are delighted to share: grripp.net/other

Next week I have been invited to the workshop "Environmental Justice in Italy" at the Italian Geographical Society in Rome. I'll talk about issues with neglecting #vulnerability in DRR community participation scenarios. If you are in Rome, happy to see you.

The #WASH sector rarely gives any attention to bathing and laundry. My 9 years' work with perimenopausal women highlights a need for inclusive bathing and laundry facilities. Come and take a workshop to learn how you can address their hidden needs: rb.gy/2r4vvf
