I was interviewed by KRLD News: What is a 'broadband desert' and who is most affected by them? omny.fm/shows/krld-new…

Dallas chief information officer Bill Zielinski cited our infrastructure desert research at this event. Great to see that the city is working on the important issue North Texas' digital divide that affects thousands of residents axios.com/local/dallas/2…

1st day of the National Water Center Innovators Program Summer Institute. I am honored to serve as a research theme lead, which means I get to work with all these brilliant Fellows from across the country, as well as 4 other theme leads and NWC staff, for the next 8 weeks.

Great news that Dallas has a new program to incentivize building infrastructure for development in underserved areas. Is it sufficient to address the infrastructure deserts that our research identified, without leading to displacement? Time will tell.... dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

Thanks @KRLD for the opportunity to explain our research on infrastructure deserts and how they relate to historical redlining: "What is redlining and how has it impacted the Black community?" buff.ly/3RQ04BP #infrastructure

Our paper on the discovery of infrastructure deserts has just been published. This is the study that has generated front-page news & TV coverage in Dallas. It's available for free access with this link until October 7, 2022. authors.elsevier.com/a/1fc9Hy5jOnHxF

DMN editorial calling for more investment to fight inequity, citing our study. Says some neighborhoods aren't even hooked up to water and wastewater. @Johnson4Dallas, how can we get that data? Had no luck with water data from DWU. dallasnews.com/opinion/editor…

Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor Dr. @minsker was featured on the front page of @dallasnews today! 🗞️ Dr. Minsker's study focuses on "infrastructure deserts" in Dallas - areas that lack quality infrastructure like sidewalks, crosswalks and access to public transit.

Quite a surprise to see my photo on the front page of The Dallas Morning News this morning! This is about our research on "infrastructure deserts." - bit.ly/3A5dBx2
