This is a fascinating podcast on disinformation and free speech with a really interesting framing related to urban planning and legibility (think Le Corbusier vs Jane Jacobs in terms of how urban space is designed). https://t.co/MPDxETBi8e

⭐️New paper 📜 exploring gardening during COVID-19.

The study found "Gardening is a powerful strategy to cope with stress through outdoor activity [in nature], and for provision of food security during periods of uncertainty."

Wanting to submit to @ESG_Project conference 2022, but had your research derailed by life/world circumstances? How about joining our (@Mitzi_Bolton @seonacandy and I) Innovative Session Proposal: The Garden of Budding Ideas. Call text here: https://t.co/SktsRipkvS Please share!

[Dr Seona Candy (she/her) @seonacandy]

Have you got a great idea but no time to develop it because of no childcare, illness, caring duties or cancelled fieldwork, etc? Send it in to our session @ESG_Project conference 2022
Please share widely!

Congrats also to session co-creators @Mitzi_Bolton and @seonacandy for opening up this space of care. Pandemic or not, every conference should have a wild card session

[@[email protected] @julialeventon]

With @Mitzi_Bolton and @seonacandy we are putting together an innovative session proposal for people to show their emerging research ideas @ESG_Project conference 2022. Read why its important to me (and how to take part) via blog post: https://t.co/suFzpDjsRV

[Dr Seona Candy (she/her) @seonacandy]

Such a great blog post from @julialeventon, (although the photo of Merri Corner garden in my old hood did make me a little homesick!).
Please let us know if you want to be a part of this so we can get this session up and running!

[Dr Seona Candy (she/her) @seonacandy]

#Urban #Futures researchers & practitioners! Does your urban sustainability work investigate not only ‘what is’ but ‘what ought to be’? If yes, please submit an abstract for our hybrid session at the 2022 Sustainability Science Days! @UrbariaHelsinki @helsinkiuni @AaltoUniversity
