Myanmar, no earthquake assistance, instead a 44% tariff.

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!] doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

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!

I became a transport engineer because I love to streets full of people standing, sitting and simply enjoying this #publicspace with others. #Verdun #Welliington #pedestrians
