After seven wonderful months, it is now time for me to say goodbye to IPE institute and @paleoipe.bsky.social group. A lot of good multidisciplinary science is going to come out from my last postdoc (stay tuned).
This is not a farewell but just an "arrivederci" 👋.

Our new study challenges assumptions about urban violence in Africa.
Surprising finding: isolated cities face 4x higher violence risk than large, connected cities. Size matters less than connectivity.

I analysed the modal share of nearly 400 European cities, comparing those with a metro, only a tram, and without any rail system.
Large cities with a metro have roughly half the car share of cities served only by a tram.
