Rats feel like a fact of life in most cities, but they don’t have to be!

I explore how Alberta eliminated rats to show that you *can* “just do things”, even if they seem really hard.

Next: NYC?

Updates soon on what's next, but huge thanks to the people who've made it possible: @benedictcooney and @jakobmokander, as well as @Tom_Westgarth15, @guywardjackson, @josephcbradley, @ZandermannKL, @KeeganMcB, and @kengoshibata for being the best team a gal could ask for! Onwards

Excited to be talking about @EndTheBacklogUK, the campaign to make it possible to book a driving test in Britain.

Looks set to be a fantastic event!

So this is public now, so: I’m officially starting a Works in Progress-style magazine focusing on the developing world!

It is called In Development, and first call for pitches will be coming at the end of the year.

This looks like a great event!

So far just 16% of entrants are women - and last year only one woman finished in the top 30.

Not only is @BritishProgress incredibly smart, agile and effective as a think tank, they also consistently throw great parties! 🥂

[Julia Willemyns @jujulemons]

Come work with us at @BritishProgress on one of our most exciting & impactful policy areas!

[Ellen Pasternack @pastasnack_e]

Women being more left-wing than men is not new, but the suddenness of the recent divergence is underappreciated, I think. Looking forward to this event!

[WiTT Forum @WiTTforum]
