I'm hiring a postdoc! If you know a really great new PhD interested in pollution, sensors, and participatory science, please send them my way. This is a 3-year appointment with a big focus on multi-disciplinary collaboration and community engagement. #sts #citizenscience #soil #sensors #job #environmentaljustice

I've just discovered there's a petition on the #UK government petitions website to remove #LGBT content from the curriculum, resurrecting the horrendous Section 28 from the 1980s.

There is also a counter-petition. As of this morning, the remove petition has over 178,000 signatures, the counter-petition has just over 2,500 signatures.

Please sign the counter-petition.

Petition is UK residents and British citizens only, but anyone can boost.

New study finds on average low traffic neighbourhoods in London don't lead to major displacement of motor traffic to boundary roads. Research finds decrease within the LTNs, adding to research showing traffic reduction schemes lead to traffic evaporation.

Really interesting data on 'motonormativity' and demonstrating the need for not only focusing on risks and effects of driving, but the world view that underpins it

Hi Mastofriends. I need some help. I'm looking for information about a few very specific cities' interventions. Specifically, I need details about:

Hello everyone,

Since we are new here on Mastodon, we would like some help finding academics and other professionals with an interest in #citizenscience. So give us a boost, if you can. Thanks! 🙂

For those that don't know us yet: Scivil is the center for citizen science in Flanders (Belgium). We gather and spread #citsci knowledge, and bring actors and projects closer together.

We're also active beyond Flanders & within the EU, so we mainly 'toot' in English. Bye!

I'm begging companies to understand that password age is wayyyyy less risky than password reuse and password simplicity.

If you make people reset their passwords every month, they're going to pick something very simple and stupid and it will undermine your whole damn system

@colby totally agree

in fact I came across someone who does something very close to that with AI to 'improve' images of existing locations:

E-bikes are a sustainable (and fun!) way to get around that reduce traffic deaths, noise pollution, and carbon emissions.

Our city needs to be incentivizing more people to get and use e-bikes via vouchers/rebates to buy e-bikes and subsidies for bikeshare.npr.org/2023/01/02/1146543157/

How I got bike lanes into the City's transportation plan:

1. Buy measuring wheel on eBay
2. Find streets wide enough for bike lanes & just need re-painted
3. Make my own map of proposed routes with bike lanes
4. Publish map as "BIke Richmond" ($10 to register bikerichmond.org).
5. Share map with City's consultants, who add "Bike Richmond's recommended bike lanes" into long term plan.

Signed up to do #RideLondon again! Last year I rode it for Amnesty. this year I'm doing it for the Bike Project, an amazing charity that supports refugees with donated bikes. I love their work and hope you'll sponsor me :)

As with last year, I'm going to ride from Birmingham to London the day before and ride home again the day after. 600km in a weekend :)

sponsor me here: ridelondon.thebikeproject.co.u - I've got a few months to get back to pre-Cancer fitness levels!

I'm seeing a disheartening growth in interest in in the US, and am here to caution & against them. We already know our don't respect conventional painted . It's a bit silly to think they'll know what to do with advisory bike lanes, especially when we install them on built to accommodate (i.e., nearly every US street).

Ooh, look at the UK's electricity sources this morning: only 12% is generated by fossil fuels. Of course it's because the weather is favourable, but the point is that we already have the capacity to do this, and it's only getting better. #energy #electricity #climate (Data from the WhenToPlugIn app)
