We believe it's probably my 15th time doing this. Makes for a long weekend but always good fun.

Crazy! Certainly looks like I won't be getting any invites to the US anytime soon. Nevertheless, I'll continue to support colleagues as we seek to understand climate change, and develop mitigation and adaptation for the natural and built environment. Brace! Brace!

A nice article that explores the potential of recycling building materials to mitigate the environmental impact of concrete. It includes some thoughts and quotes from me. Not sure whether I sound too negative, but I'll stick by the quote that it's not easy! www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/202...

It was fascinating chairing this session. The difference in opinion on how long a journal peer review should take was quite stark. Anything from 1 hour to over a day! I'm not sure I left any the wiser on how long I ought to take.
We held a recent panel Q+A session about journal peer reviews and explored the key topics:
✅ How many reviews to take on
✅ What makes a thorough review
✅ What editors want
✅ Tips for early-career researchers
Big thanks to our experts, Stephen Emmitt, Susan Bernal, Cath Borwick and David Stacey.
