This project was a joy to work on while I was with the incredibly talented and thoughtful @DesignStudioPHL

[PHL Service Design Studio @DesignStudioPHL]

We worked with the City’s Tax Review Board (TRB) and @PHLInnovation to help:

▪️ TRB staff resume hearings (virtually) at the beginning of COVID.
▪️ OIT design a new case management system to support in-person and digital workflows.

No scientist is in sole possession of the scientific truth. The truth emerges out of free discussion, experiment, and open minds. Why should the public -- which funds science -- not be allowed to witness the process?

[Christina Stefan @CStefan_Design]

@ARowlingStone @voxdotcom @mbolotnikova Agreed. While I admittedly don’t know much about the poisoning strategy myself, I believe any killing of an animal should be done as humanely as possible. It’s not the animals’ fault that they’re invasive. We should keep the focus on the human cause.

An alarming new study finds that infant feces contain 10 times more polyethylene terephthalate (aka polyester) than an adult’s. https://t.co/1R7hiVA1eL

every time I see someone comment that a wild animal is “so calm” while being handled rather than “stressed and terrified to the point of immobility” I have to go lie down for a minute

@nathanwpyle I once got knocked out of a spelling bee for not saying "Capital C" when spelling Christmas. I remember being a livid second grader, insisting it wasn't a GRAMMAR bee...

Our Changing Tides anthology details the human impact on our ocean environment and demonstrate the heightened need for individual, community, and global action in addressing what has become a collective crisis for life on this blue planet. #WorldOceanDay https://t.co/aOnVrOY8qu

[The CryptoNaturalist (Jarod K. Anderson) @CryptoNature]

When you're a child, you hear things like, "electric eels exist" and you think, "sure, that's just as new and weird as everything else."
As an adult, it's important to revisit such knowledge and think, "oh, wait, this world is absolutely bananas."

By using the entire city's population and not requiring people to opt in, you effectively remove informed consent.

A "regret lottery" that will, more than likely, impact the city's income-insecure residents, is so sad to me. Imagine calling a low-income person and telling them they COULD have won 50k, if only they trusted government-pushed medicine more #PhillyVaxSweeps

[Christina Stefan @CStefan_Design]

As a researcher, this 'behavioral research' strikes me as highly unethical. Imagine how devastating it would be for someone to find out they missed out on this money because they made a decision they thought was best for them and their family.

Unless it’s been burnt, nearly every plastic toothbrush ever made since the 30s is still out there somewhere. These were all picked up from Cornish beaches. #plasticheritage

happy birthday uncle

@corvidresearch Thanks so much for the thorough explanation! I read recently that putting 3D crow statues near the feeding area can encourage crows to come closer to investigate. Do you have any thoughts on that approach?
