'We argue that bringing insights from the past into contemporary discussions on managed retreat can help us to be better prepared for some of the difficult decisions ahead.' - @gtalux (@LISERinLUX) and @ljmabon (@OU_STEM) in recent #areajournal paper. https://t.co/TKebJ0XVwC

Another great example of phatic community - community used only as a gesture, empty of meaning

How to use a “community” front to drive a golf course through - Dornoch Firth. A textbook example of “community washing”as the social twin of “greenwashing”? Curious to know the provenance and credentials of the board’s “five British directors who lived locally”.

@joeblakey @Pol_Geog_Jl @RuthMachen @derekruez @MedinaGarciaP got it

[Gerald Taylor Aiken @gtalux]

@AdamPolitics Yeah, I don't know if it's a global institution thing. I've been less bowled over by national/local experiences

[Gerald Taylor Aiken @gtalux]

I presented this at the Just Transitions event last week. Nice when research and policy timelines go together for once

That said #BonnClimateConference is great - so many good and passionate folk

[Gerald Taylor Aiken @gtalux]

The more time I spend with UN peeps, the more I see the challenges to academic collaboration with policy - it's not just the language - it's expectations, pace, meetings, worldviews

[Gerald Taylor Aiken @gtalux]

@DominicMHinde There are multiple reasons for this!

[Dr Cat Button @Cat_Button]

Book published TODAY! "Over Researched Places: Towards a Critical and Reflexive Approach" edited by @gtalux and me. Amazing chapters about places all over the world https://t.co/ZQXwF3QGwV

I realised on the way in that our Chemistry teacher from @BuckieHighNews took us past this building on some widening participation programme in 4th year. Pretty weird to be back giving the opening keynote at @aberdeenuni today
