My crowd-pleasing opener this morning: "Sustainability leadership is broken and will kill us all. Only you can fix it." #medinge
Anytime I need to explain user needs, user research and iterative design to someone I’m showing them this video 😂 🐸 ❤️ #design #ux #uxdesign
Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.
Climate diplomacy and the orderly transition: a progress report.
The science museum is a vital national institution, a place I have loved since a child. So it is with great sadness that I have decided to resign from my position on the board of trustees. thetimes.co.uk/article/hannah…
After spending a few years cutting through Big Tech's B.S. about AI ethics, I've created a glossary to help you decode what all of their favorite terms actually mean. I had way too much fun working on this! Threading some of my favorites below. technologyreview.com/2021/04/13/102…
Watching launch of @GreenAllianceUK #resourceuse report. Startling stat on #biodiversity impact – I thought resource use would be a big slice, but hadn't heard 90% figure before.. The report is at green-alliance.org.uk/resources/Targ…
What is your favourite example of interoperability working? Something that tangibly benefits people. Bonus points for examples from health and social care!
One of the most profound diagrams I have ever seen, from Jonas Salk, who created polio vaccine in 1955 Salk believed that the 20th century values of Epoch A must be replaced by the values of Epoch B in the 21st century More graphics from The Good Ancestor: romankrznaric.com/good-ancestor/…

👋 Hello everyone! We’re the @UKHouseofLords COVID-19 Committee. We’re going to be looking at what the pandemic might mean for us all in the long term - the challenges and the opportunities. Follow us, tell your friends and stay tuned to find out how you can get involved️
Holy caw. In the Netherlands, where LOADS of the datacentres in Europe are based, Dutch gov is paying up to 300 EUR PER TONNE of avoided CO2 emissions/fossil fuel usage for datacentre redesign, and re-use of heat. hyp.is/EZCNXq7rEeqffU…
.@MayorofLondon's bold new London Streetspace plan will overhaul our city's streets, transforming them to create new cycle lanes and wider pavements to accommodate increased demand for walking and cycling 🚲🙌london.gov.uk/press-releases…
So it turns out I *do* have an axe to grind. Several, in fact.
Now that #COVID19 is definitively #goingviral, @3blue1brown has made a typically excellent explainer on exponential growth youtu.be/Kas0tIxDvrg - I reckon the public could well handle a tiny dose of well-presented maths to defend against the #whippedupstupidity going around
Really impressed by balanced, concise briefings that have begun the #ClimateAssemblyUK process from @Bankfieldbecky and @ChiefExecCCC @UKParliament’s youtube playlist at youtube.com/playlist?list=… will be a great resource for anyone wanting to understand or explain climate change
So the UK government has just stopped publishing open data about the performance (quality, cost, volume) of about 800 services. Interesting timing. gov.uk/performance
The companies can repeat it til they're hoarse that the invasive use of people's data to "personalize advertising" is a benefit to their users, but their users don't agree. The vast majority want Big Tech's use of their data reigned in, according to our new poll in 9 countries.
The entire high-carbon industrial complex knew—oil and coal, cars and sprawl, feedlots and fertilizers, petrochemicals and plastics—and they did it anyway. The climate emergency is not some ancient curse. It's a set of decisions made largely over the last 40 years.
Last year in Chile, wildfires destroyed over a million acres of forest land. 3 border collies have been trained to run through the damaged forests with special backpacks that release native plant seeds. Once they take root, these seeds will help regrow the destroyed area.
This is the simplest graphical representation of ongoing, repeated foresight failure I've ever seen. . (graph: @CarbonBrief )
