Topic 7: Nature conservation

Book:
The lady and the sharks, by Eugenie Clark

I love a good autobiography by a trailblazing woman scientist, and this one did not disappoint. Eugenie Clark is famous for her work with sharks, even though she also worked with many other fascinating fishes that she writes about with equal enthusiasm.

This one was a very entertaining read, including personal details such as what it's like to dive while pregnant.

One of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS your city could do to become more healthy, sustainable, livable, affordable, equitable, successful — stop pretending to “balance” transportation modes, and commit to PRIORITIZING walking/rolling, biking, public transit. 🚶🚴

THE ILLUSION OF MORAL DECLINE by Adam M. Mastroianni and Daniel T. Gilbert (Nature, 2023).

"In a series of studies using both archival and original data (n = 12,492,983), we show that people in at least 60 nations around the world believe that morality is declining, that they have believed this for at least 70 years and that they attribute this decline both to the decreasing morality of individuals as they age and to the decreasing morality of successive generations. Next, we show that people’s reports of the morality of their contemporaries have not declined over time, suggesting that the perception of moral decline is an illusion. Finally, we show how a simple mechanism based on two well-established psychological phenomena (biased exposure to information and biased memory for information) can produce an illusion of moral decline."

This month is on track to be the hottest month ever recorded. 🔥🌎⚠

Data shows that the first 3 weeks of July shattered temperature records.

This chart shows the globally averaged surface air temperature for 1 - 23 July for each year from 1940 to 2023.

One thing we know for sure: building and widening highways always succeeds in helping sell more cars, gas and suburban sprawl; burning more public budgets; and increasing GHG emissions. So if those are your goals, it’s the perfect thing to do.

Just don’t expect it to reduce traffic.

This week, we had the pleasure to host the #illustrator Jonas Goonface, who offered us this beautiful mural! 🤩

You can see more of his work on Instagram @jonasgoonface https://farside.link/bibliogram/jonasgoonface (we will let you know when he can be followed on the fediverse)

And yes, we still have some empty walls ;)

A mural painting in Kanthaus stairs, depicting a piece of autumnal wilderness, with a stag in the woods at the based of a mountain. The whole landscape forms an anthropomorphized character who broke a bloody sword with its hands. The character's hands display the words "Take care", and its trunk "Nature bats last".


More new work! ❤️

Welcome to Mumbles, near Swansea.

Mumbles is a headland on the Gower Peninsula, right on the southern coast of Wales. It very much like the last burst of summer, even in October. ☀️
