In this month’s issue of Wired in an article about Larps “In a safe space, all the thorns are removed and no one is supposed to get hurt. A brave space is different... You enter a brave space to learn “how to make mistakes and then correct them,” Friedner says.

With the new census data imported into CensusMapper it's time for some quick analysis. Overall the 0-14 population has dropped by ~415 in Vancouver (VSB) 2001 to 2021. But that change was not uniform geographically, here is the breakdown by (harmonized) census tract.

@georgeprbenson In talking to a doctor friend, it seems there is little to no incentive for med students to choose the path of primary care physician. It's more costly and time intensive than working at a hospital... lots of challenges at play.

@iheartcities I think public engagement and user research are similar but different fields. In my mind, public engagement has not historically provided the rigour around question design, sampling, and analysis that is required for research. The field is ever-evolving!

Diébédo Francis Kéré's work introduced a very young me to the community-driven possibilities of design. I am so happy to see him recognized for his contribution to the field of architecture.

Congratulations to Francis Kéré, 2022 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize!

Spotify always makes me listen to Angel Baby by Troye Sivan. Can record companies pay Spotify to force ear worms ??? If the algorithm really knew me then BTS would be played up next…
