Survey for academics with Energy Limiting Conditions as part of my @_ISRF research on exhaustion, burnout and ableism in UK academia: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/liverpool/pi… Open to people still working in academia and who have left. Please share. More project info here: exhaustioneconomy.uk

Loved working with @WillBaxter again to create this visual for my current research project.

There is one month to go for the Neurodiversity in Rail conference. Sign up to our most awaited event of the year here: birmingham.ac.uk/research/railw… Thank you to our sponsors @NSARLtd , @atkinsglobal @IMechE and Kimberley Systems Engineering Limited!

6/6 1) Denying CC makes you out to be an idiot, troll or paid disinformation employee. 2) SST's are heating up incredibly fast at this moment, with the full impact yet to be known. 3) We are totally f&%ked.

The more we chop off the proposed route the more we reduce the returns on investing in this rail infrastructure. The ration of black to pink/red on this map is very disappointing.

@sarahvgreenham @GeorgeMonbiot In response to your main thread. Look at education research. Curricula analysis for national school curricula and skills gaps in industry compared with life skills or happiness. Consider UN SDG alignment. I expect this may be interesting reading to you. 2/2

@sarahvgreenham @GeorgeMonbiot Thanks Sarah. George this is a thought provoking thread. I look at higher ed and enviro/sustainability and climate change. Currently CC is not "required" in engineering curricula and sustainability needs much improvement. Please DM me if you want to know more. 1/2

1. I’m testing some thoughts here, and I would love to receive your feedback, especially if you are a parent or educator. This thread is about the concept of the national curriculum. 🧵

Recent publishing of #theclimatebook by @GretaThunberg has made me think about other wonderful reads on #climatechange Tell me about your favourite reads? I'll go first... Rain by @EyeDotter Explores a very human story and the devastating floods in the North in 2015

*New Paper* "Evaluation of #ClimateChange Resilience of Urban Road Network Strategies" in @InfrastructMDPI presenting a case study in the #WestMidlands mdpi.com/2412-3811/7/11…

I'm currently in the process of getting my first academic paper published. Hoping that round 3 of revisions is the last one 😅 Share your publishing #AcademicHorrorStories? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Helpful session the #SocialMediaGuru @ihrahman on using #twitter for academic impact. #ResearchImpact

Excited to share that I've successfully been awarded a @NERC Knowledge Exchange Fellowship. I'll be working at the @unibirmingham on "Delivering an adaptation knowledge pipeline". I'll be posting regular updates about my work here and on LinkedIn

London opens another line, meanwhile in Birmingham…

Spaghetti Junction. Already drunk on its birthday. Embarrassing.

I have to commend the @WorldBank on their choice of cover photo for their latest review. Read the report:openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/hand… Cover Image: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm… #Railways #trains

As seen on @GMB yesterday… 📢 RT if you think every weather forecast should be preceded by a global warming forecast. 📢 #ClimateReport #ClimateActionNow

I expect they met to discuss the challenge of overcoming the Lickey incline (which still causes issues to this day) without any nasty surprises...
