I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Even within transport, I sometimes come across a journal paper title that is unbelievably depressing... "Spatial accessibility to gun violence exposure on walkable routes to and from school" #Chicago
[Really interesting paper using innovative data/methods though!]

As a parent I love walkable neighbourhoods cause the kids can get places themselves. No big conspiracy, I’m just tired.

🚨 New child poverty figures out today paint a stark picture - 22% of children in Scotland are trapped in poverty
➡️ While lower than the UK’s 31% rate, this still falls short of the 18% interim target. Urgent action is needed

Why am I always talking about sewers and toilets? Because doing sewage and sanitation well is unglamorous, unsung hero work that is one of the foundations of a healthy society. @caltrain.com has wheelchair accessible toilets on board new trains and now has clean, well functioning platform toilets!
