@Saigon_Redux Seat angle is weird! New to scooters, good to know it’s not just me

So, had my Dat Bike Quantum for about 2 weeks now. Observations: - Great battery life - Quick charging - Stiff suspension...like, too stiff, not comfortable at all - No range anxiety... easy to charge anywhere - Seat angle is weird, feel like constantly falling forward 1/3

⭐ R you ready for a technical career working on some of the world's most interesting biodiversity problems? 🦋 💻 We've got 2x Data Analyst roles open! ⚡ One supports @EcoCommonsAus 🧡💚💙 ⚡ The other advances #Biosecurty in ALA.🐇 🔗 ala.org.au/careers/ #RStats #Hiring

It's easy to be skeptical that countries are taking little action on climate change. This isn't true. Looking at the shift in our trajectory in just a few years tells a different story. I looked back at the past 6 years of @climateactiontr projections 👇

What is the economic value of open access #biodiversity #data? A fascinating session earlier this week unpacking this question with the @GBIF network at the 29th meeting of the GBIF Governing Board in Brussels (#GB29). Watch this space... @D_AccessEcon @Green_Dot @c_a_ibrahim

Take your pick — rapid decarbonization now, which has $$$ up front, or pay far more later in damage to the global economy, according to a new analysis. (-$178 trillion w/ 3°C warming vs. $43 trillion in benefits with under 2°C) axios.com/2022/05/23/rep…

@DrAnaManero @GraftonQuentin @WaterJusticeHub @Katselenataylor @CrawfordREAD @ANUCrawford Congratulations to you and your team - looking forward to reading this. Love the graphical abstract @c_a_ibrahim

The best things in life are priceless, but they hold immense value. How do we make those value count? In our latest paper, we learn from others and provide further guidance. @WaterJusticeHub @Katselenataylor @GraftonQuentin @CrawfordREAD @ANUCrawford sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Grateful to have spent #ImpactDay at @Green_Dot working with @FemiliPNG on their social media strategy. Such an impressive group doing incredibly important work in #PNG assisting survivors of family and sexual violence.

@heeney_luke Great analysis @heeney_luke - speaking of that waterfall chart, just checking that orange section is Tech Investment Roadmap + ‘Global technology trends’? Don’t forget there is a sneaky carbon price in there… not just R&D spending

This is the fundamental problem with the Government's net-zero Plan. It should be called out. We cannot claim to revolutionize global low-carbon technologies by ourselves.

@wfmackey @cfcoverdale and @HMurphyCruise definitely join!

hi a few people in the Australian public policy x #rstats world have started a group to chat/learn/etc about using R in public policy. We’ve just launched the Slack workspace, so if you’re into both of those things, get in touch!

Australians under 35 are the only age group to experience a decrease in income over the last decade. For more, here’s the Government Spokesdude.

@cfcoverdale This is a great paper by Nathan Deutscher and @BhashMazumder nathandeutscher.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/deutsc…

I'm chasing some good books / articles on intergenerational inequality. Bonus points for Australian examples. Even more bonus points for post 2010 case studies. Any ideas?

Post COVID-19 for Australia? Will begin recovery better placed than many, but unemployment high, private sector scared, RBA tapped out, key export prices weak. For more on @D_AccessEcon #Budget Monitor deloi.tt/3fr8FYe
