Why do smart people ignore facts? It’s not about intelligence. It’s psychology. In this episode of Orbital Adventures, we explore confirmation bias, identity-protective thinking, and why personal experience often beats data in our minds. 🎥 Watch here:youtube.com/watch?v=RXqilg…

Big challenge ahead 💪 I’ll be running the Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon 2026 and fundraising for Cancer Focus Northern Ireland. If you’re able to support this important cause, I’d really appreciate a donation via my JustGiving page: justgiving.com/page/behnam-fi…

@deptinfra This research may support the Speed Limit Review by identifying fatal collision factors beyond speed. The dashboard allows filtering by factor & area to target reviews where lives can be saved (thanks to @QUBelfast) storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/4265b7…

A consultation on a Speed Limit Review has been launched by the Department for Infrastructure (DfI). The 14-week public consultation closes on Wednesday 22 April 2026. The Speed Limit Review seeks public views on speed limits aimed at improving road safety as evidence shows that excessive speed remains one of the most significant factors in the severity of collisions and fatalities on our roads.
