1/ SCAM ALERT 🚨 @StubHub is ripping off World Cup fans. My brother and I paid for tickets and planned a whole trip to Mexico for Uzbekistan vs Colombia (Match 24, 6/17) — StubHub claims they "transferred" them, but the tickets NEVER appeared in our FIFA account. We are not alone
3/ Every time we call demanding the refund, they HANG UP — three times now. And now that they finally answer, they keep PUSHING the deadline back, moving it to the 14th, just THREE DAYS before the match. This is how @StubHub treats paying customers. Make this right!
13/ Open access here: https://t.co/nD9WkDTATx. Thanks to the editor, the referees, and @claudferraz, @LeopoldoTweets, and @juanf_vargas for years of conversations on this one.
1/ New paper out in JEEM 🌳 with Lizeth Molina and @santisaap. We examine how political dynamics shape deforestation within a decentralized setting of environmental authorities. Turns out that when a mayor and the governor are from the same party, deforestation rises ~40%. 🧵
12/ Bottom line: decentralized environmental governance is easy to capture politically. But it's not hopeless — where green parties, independent board chairs, and civil society have a real seat, alignment stops mattering. Good rules about who runs the board are the lever.
I'm a data scientist @OurWorldinData and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸
We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.
The researcher who maintained it, Professor Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.
Post dé apreciación a Nairo Quintana que hoy anunció la presente como su ultima temporada.
20 de Julio de 2013, pleno Tour 🇫🇷. Sin banderas de Colombia ni favoritismos. Fue la primera vez que “El Cóndor” sorprendió al mundo.
