Assistant Professor - crowded places, emergency management. Coventry, UK.
Oooh, ta. I’m endlessly fascinated by Coventry. The lofty ambition, the particular impact of austerity on “designed” spaces, the aim to link the past and future with unchanged Medieval street layouts, the blight of that sodding Ikea…

Your seagull is definitely classier than our pigeons - we have a “smart” building with a window malfunction, and in one particular classroom the first job on many mornings is to chase the pigeons out.

Well said.

This year I hit, “Definitely older than the parents at graduation” stage, and it is _weird_.

Thank you. I look forward to reading this.

As someone on their prof doc journey at the moment, I can’t tell you how loudly this speaks to me. I’m trying so hard to express this in my work while repeatedly coming up against challenge that I’m “overthinking”.

It’s baffling. I’m on the counter demo. One of the folks at the front of the other side has a “Lest we forget” flag - but appear to have forgotten what it is those folks died for.

In the current context, that’s damn good work.

When/if the end of days comes, it doesn’t matter what they believe in… that won’t save you… it’s more about what believes in them…

Have you seen the new UK Resilience Framework approach? It’s going to take a long time to make real, but for the first time we’re starting to take mitigation and the resolution of chronic risk more seriously as a genuinely integrated approach.

Trading you some Coventry croci.

That’s a gloriously apocalyptic sky. Very current mood.
