What do cities and crystals have in common? Their growth follows the same patterns. 🌆 💎
That’s according to new research in @PhysRevLett using 30 years of satellite data to analyze how urban areas expand — uneven edges and all. Read the paper: https://t.co/0aA4ffhnwe
Our study of 400 million tweets shows that the “war on science” is far more complex than a simple clash between truth and falsehood.
