Unge kvinder har det fortsat mentalt dårligere end andre Det går den forkerte vej med danskernes sundhed.

"Unge kvinder på mellem 16-24 år har fortsat en markant dårligere mental trivsel end resten af befolkningen.

Det viser Den Nationale Sundhedsprofil, som er en kortlægning af danskernes sundhed i 2025 og som både viser tal for vores alkoholforbrug, vægt, rygning og den mentale sundhed."

At universities transport studies group conference in Dublin, Dr Guibo Sun presents transport and healthy ageing research - including our special issue in Journal of Transport and Health you can see here www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Quite an opening paragraph.

Gendered impacts of public transport on social isolation and loneliness among older adults: Evidence from a natural experiment in Hong Kong A well-designed public transport system has the potential to support social participation and alleviate social isolation and loneliness among older ad…

Fresh study on how new metro lines may reduce isolation, lonelyness:

🚶New metro access aids social ties, benefits differ by gender. Older women rather than older men used the metro to expand networks and reduce loneliness.

💥Plan public transport with gender in mind, target supports for older men.

My book provides a novel framework/historical analysis explaining how and why this lineage of development has led to the environmental and inequality crises of today, how narratives of progress have reproduced this lineage, and offers viable ways out of these crises. Links below...

A workshop on improving Oxfordshire’s buses at County Hall this morning has attracted 40 people. The first speaker, Tim Schwanen from Oxford University’s Transport Studies Unit, said “focus on demand, not just supply” – thinking about all transport modes together, not buses in isolation.

Global sea levels have been underestimated due to poor modelling, research suggests Analysis shows average levels are 30cm higher than thought, and up to 150cm in south-east Asia and Indo-Pacific

Global sea levels aren’t underestimated because scientists were ‘poor’ at modelling, they’re being updated as new data comes in. That’s how science works: models improve, understanding evolves.

Sea levels higher than previously thought, putting millions at risk New analysis shows a methodological blindspot which means average levels are roughly 30cm higher than previously thought

Well thanks Larcombe & Bierwirth. Not only do we have to stress over our kids living in a future where large chunks of land will be under water and southern England will have the climate of northern Norway due to AMOC stoppage, THE ATMOSPHERE WILL ALSO BE TOXIC.

Forget the AMOC Collapse: an ‘SPG Collapse’ Is Much More Imminent A collapse of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre (SPG) - a smaller but crucial sub-component of the AMOC - could happen as soon as the 2040s

Given the existential threat to the UK of an AMOC collapse and (sooner) the Subpolar Gyre (SPG) - a reader commented: "what is the UK Gov doing to prepare?" According to Hansard, AMOC has only ever been mentioned 3 times, in one Lords debate in 2024. And the SPG? Not once.

The impact 20mph has had on crashes, injuries and deaths in North Wales The default limit has been one of the most controversial pieces of legislation ever brought in at the Senedd

It's good to see that the Welsh media are recognising that all the evidence shows that 20mph limits have significantly reduced death and injury on urban/village roads.
