Loves public transport, cycling and walking. Interested in urban planning, with zero expertise. Former Medical Scientist in microbiology so of course I'm COVID-19 cautious. From Naarm (Melbourne, Australia). No DMs unless you know me.
No Level Crossing Removal Authority, I will not be using this lane to turn right near the Maddox Road. #PaintIsNotInfrastructure. 🙄🤦♀️
Of course there won't be road rage or cyclists hit.

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize
When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

So much building damage yesterday west of Melbourne. If you click on the plus signs in the app there are a lot of houses involved (over 100). Some reports of a tornado but not confirmed 🌪 😒 Screenshot:

I'm from ##MelbsWest and I think this is a total blot on the landscape. Encouraging more car use never ends well and this will clog up within a short time. And we still have poor public transport options.

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."
