@EvanDunfee @TeamCanada @AirCanada I think a world gold medal 🥇 merits special treatment on this occasion 😉

I owe so much thanks to @TeamCanada and @AirCanada! One thing I have been very nervous about since my hamstring tear is the flight home. Sitting is still very painful/ uncomfortable and a 9 hour flight was making me quite anxious.
I reached out to our Olympic Team and asked if they could connect with Air Canada about maybe getting an upgrade.
I’m not someone who ever expects special treatment, but the relief on my face when I checked in and saw 1D on my boarding pass was beyond belief.
So thank you to the official Airline of Team Canada!

@pogo_central I feel bad for the people saying routes and showcases.. missing out on so many free rewards 😵💫

@Creighton88 We are trialing the shoe sensors in Spain this week in 2 races. But I reckon LA would be an ambitious target to be exclusively relying on them. Will be cool to see how they work though.

In thinking about global health governance in the wake of COVID-19, @MicheleAcuto says city diplomacy should play a more prominent and urgent role in the work of urban leaders, global health experts, and the foreign affairs community.

@journalofpolit1 @PolEcoNet @GrassrootsJPE Thanks Simon. I did express these concerns to the Sage editor when approached. It seemed they would go ahead anyways. Better to have critical academics engage than not? @rkeil your thoughts?

@Creighton88 One of the Big Five commercial publishers. Its a contradiction. APCs - Sage Choices lists at $3400 already, even if not charged - similar to Env & P E. Alternative radical publishing models exist. All you had to do was ask. Simon #urbanpoliticalecology @PolEcoNet @GrassrootsJPE
