London-based study finds "most near misses happen on roads without cycling infrastructure - junctions are particularly hazardous"
This is why our activists tirelessly call for safe cycle infra in every London borough 👇

Great to see this issue! Years ago your Yawning at the Apocalypse article by @cameronbrick.bsky.social & @profsanderlinden.bsky.social was pivotal for me in my gap year - it confirmed my suspicions that env. psych. was the right path for me. I hope this issues inspires others in a similar position

How FAIR is shared data in psychology?
We analyzed 11,384 datasets (2013–2024): They're findable, but less reusable!
What relates most to differences in FAIRness? #Repository choice.

Hi all! I’m looking for research jobs in social psychology, environmental action, & climate policy. I study pro-environmental action, moral and identity processes, scientist advocacy, and universities’ climate responses. I use qualitative and quantitative methods for research with real-world impact.

New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.
Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-ten chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it was a nine-in-ten chance

Fun fact: Many of the bus companies started when WWI soldiers returned (the learnt engineering and driving). There were so many that they ate into rail profit leading to the creation of the big 4 railway companies!
