@MoiraZellner @sinafazelpour @saiphcita @HeydariSys "Collaborative modeling processes are situated within social and governance structures... The extent to which the participatory model-building process can enhance deliberations towards implementable solutions will thus be a function of this co-evolutionary dance" - @MoiraZellner

Proud of my @VTMURP students for hosting Roanoke H.O.P.E. High School Students last week here at @virginia_tech. MURPs designed a serious game to help students learn some neighborhood #planning, #facilitation, and #parkdesign considerations.

@RalphPHall @VTSPIA @VT_LiberalArts @toddschenk @VTMURP @VTSPIA_UG @YangZhang08 Andddd just on the bus back to Bburg now. The kids were awesome, so enthusiastic to get started, and had great energy! Can’t wait to introduce them to our MURPs in a couple weeks~ @NSFCIVIC

@toddschenk I like the idea of a workshop here with students to solicit ideas about gaps and in courses. Might be useful for both our DEI and studio planning~
Explore the future of urban planning! Students at @UMich crafted the Radical Planning course, challenging norms and prioritizing community-led initiatives. Discover how they're reshaping the planning landscape.

This book has been so key to helping me think through my career and community engagement this year. Reflections by @valeriestahl Robert Beauregard show how colleagues in diff career stages relate to the work.
"In her new book Mapping Possibility, Leonie Sandercock arranges some of her most significant writings along the trajectory of her professional and emotional life." @valerieestahl and Robert Beauregard review:

An excellent reflection on Science Policy over the decades. Incl explanation of how we find ourselves in current anti-expert anti-elite culture. What role has our “belief in” science as separate from/superior to values & interests played?

@jer_science this is the pub I mentioned before in this thread. The users performed well using the red-blue colormap, but really didn't "like" it in our study...
In a clear majority, people preferred the blue->red color ramp which I agree is more intuitively related to temperature. This will help us train people to use @flir thermal cameras to document green infrastructure solutions that target high surface temperatures in cities. Thanks!
