@mariapopova Perhaps the #BertrandRussell archives at #McMasterU might be of interest to some? https://www.mcmaster.ca/russdocs/russell.htm

My med-mastodon #introduction. I’m a #nephrologist at #McMasterU in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I also have provincial roles in multidisciplinary #CKD care and #indigenous #kidney health where my clinical and knowledge generation interests also lie. Views are my own. I live and work upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas.

A masterful online lecture on the origins of the #PeriodicTable by #UCLA Professor #EricScerri just wrapped up at The Origins Institute at #McMasterU.

This is what you should know: electric and hybrid cars will not save the world if we do not change our deeply ingrained habits of substituting high #mobility for poor #accessibility.

Transitioning to electric bicycles, electric transit, and high accessibility development patterns is where we should be putting our money. But that would require social science research and alas that is not where the money is.
