For twenty years, place concepts have been used to understand energy infrastructure siting. This new systematic review paper critically assesses the state of current knowledge. Thanks @AdamPeacockGeog

✈️Many universities have declared environment and climate emergencies and have values-statements that reference ecological care.
Yet shifting practices, systems and policies is challenging, as flying has become so entwined with research and education https://t.co/wqPMFcz1a0

Open access to 'best of' 25 years of excellent social science research in the Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning. Great to see our 2010 paper on 'Community Benefits and Bribes' with Gordon Walker and Noel Cass featured!

Calling on all social scientists connected to @_ACCESSnetwork to respond to this call by @uksciencechief

[Government Office for Science @uksciencechief]

📢 Calling all academics!

We would love to hear you views on interacting with the Government, including the types of engagement you have had and the factors impacting this.

Have your say by filling out this survey: https://t.co/cwRzogCJnQ. Deadline: 5pm on 16.08.

[Patrick Devine-Wright @PDevinewright]

Shame to see UK media perpetuating inaccurate and unhelpful 'NIMBY' discourse about onshore wind - journalists need to follow social science evidence and avoid outdated stereotypes https://t.co/BykIwmSqhb

[Patrick Devine-Wright @PDevinewright]

Why are there no experts from the Social Sciences or Humanities - disciplines like Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology - on @theCCCuk? It's not like we're short of world-leading experts in those fields @lwhitmarsh @harrietbulkeley @BenjaminSovaco1

[Climate Change Committee @theCCCuk]

Our annual Progress Report is out today. The country’s 2030 target is at risk. It’s not too late to get back on track but now the Government needs to take urgent action in the next year.

Let’s take a closer look at the analysis ->🧵

@BrionyLatter @StuartBCapstick @DrCDemski @steviedubyu @NusseyC @GameiroSofia @CAST_Centre @cardiffuni @TyndallCentre @PsychCardiffUni Congrats!

[Patrick Devine-Wright @PDevinewright]

@Veronicaa_White @cordyf @SaffronJONeill @ange_cass Well done Veronica and I'm excited about your plans (especially the bike trip!!)

[Patrick Devine-Wright @PDevinewright]

An exciting 4 year post doc opportunity!

Thrilled that 2010 paper with Noel Cass and Gordon Walker has been selected for 25th anniversary issue of Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning. "Good Neighbours, Public Relations, and Bribes: The Politics and Perceptions of Community Benefit Provision" - still relevant!

[Patrick Devine-Wright @PDevinewright]

@SaffronJONeill @mmildenberger @el_ratcliffe

[Patrick Devine-Wright @PDevinewright]

Thanks @SaffronJONeill - Interesting findings @mmildenberger! Could the recommendation for follow-up qual research be made more confidently? I am not sure tentative words like 'suggest' and 'may' do #socialsciences or #qualitative research much good

[Prof Saffron O'Neill (inactive account) @SaffronJONeill]

Flood risk maps shown to have unintended consequence - they *reduced* concern about future SLR.

"Overall, our results speak to the urgent need to empirically test all features of public climate communication campaigns"

Hear hear!
