  1. Are ‘express buses’ equitable?
    Deweese, Sanata Palacios, Belikow, & El Geneidy tackle this question in an #OpenAccess #JTLU paper by assessing the distribution of #accessibility benefits of express bus routes in #Montreal.
    Through a novel analytical approach, they find that Montreal’s express bus service saves travelers 620 hours/day during the morning commute alone. (cont)...

  5. My proposal is: "Advancing Equitable Cataloging: Marginalized Community-Based Participatory Cataloging in Galleries, Archives, Libraries, Museums, and Special Collections" and here is the official entry: vanier.gc.ca/en/scholar_search

    there will be some articles soon talking about what it means! Most importantly, hugely excited to have my field (#critcat #critarch #critlib) recognized among the highest levels of doctoral research. This is significant because

  6. Dans une démocratie équitable, il serait bon que les déclarations d'Emmanuel Macron soient décortiquées avec le même souci du détail que les déclarations de Marine Le Pen. Or, les journalistes ont déjà choisi leur camp. Démocratiquement, c'est gênant. #NiMacronNiLePen #VoteBlanc

  9. #GeneTherapy #CellTherapy ➡️ we must ensure equitable access.

    “… if we fail to take advantage of that narrowing window, everyone loses: The inevitable hodgepodge of coverage approaches will leave many without access to transformative treatments; companies will abandon promising therapies that they can’t actually sell; and new technologies will never really take flight.”

  11. Some other projects of note:

    Equitable Letters in #SpacePhysics (ELSP) equitableletterssp.github.io/E Bias is everywhere and everyone has #Bias (Find your #ImplicitBiases at implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/) And this comes through and impacts recomendation and nomination letters. Our service helps provide a review to improve these letters using best practices and help remove implicit bias. Check it out!

  12. Juan Mateos-Garcia of Google DeepMind wants equitable use of their tools like AlphaFold. They solved protein structure prediction in 2020 and this is helpful for drug discovery, but researchers in LMIC have barriers to adoption.

    Used OpenAlex & PDB to study 20.6K papers citing AlphaFold. LMIC researchers are underrepresented, but study of diseases affecting LMICs is overrepresented - esp. work on natural products.

  13. In an effort to imagine a more equitable future, a big thing that comes to the front is the idea of circular economies.

    Really it's about eliminating waste. If we want to live and adapt with climate change, and change how we interact with nature and stop extracting resources, we can instead aim to reduce waste, and material production as much as possible.

    This touches on a bunch of other ideas like #localization but it would be cool in a near future, to have modular and recyclable components used to build everything from furniture, to garden beds, to event spaces, really anything that we need. A standard for manufacturing so any part can be reused. Lego is an example that people use for modularity, but the big thing is making most of the parts also work with existing things.

    With standard parts you can both mass produce and have localized production with free plans that anyone can make or 3D print. If you have a desk and instead want a sleeping loft, then you can move parts around and have one. We can make the parts from recycled plastic, taken from landfills, waterways, or floating around in the countless areas of litter and trash.
    Wood and other materials can come from salvaged areas, or through thoughtful coppicing.

    Even better, manufacturing can be done at a more local level. Instead of relying on complex supply chains and capitalist systems. Fabrication Labs can spring up, that might host tool libraries, but also help produce things, and recycle items to make them useful again. Imagining a fablab run as a worker co-op, where the central goal is to meet the basic needs of everyone in the community. Old plastic is melted down and used to create new modular pieces. When something breaks it can be quickly repaired instead of thrown away. Anyone can make their own designs and collaborate on what works best. Using the local materials around them to make new and old things. Moving away from consumption to waste >> and towards reuse and modularity.

    For a concrete framework on this openstructures.net has a great idea of orienting parts in a grid, that can connect to others in a bunch of ways.

    This book by Ken Isaacs, "how to Build Your Own Living Structures" really inspired me to think about this. (images are also from the book) (publiccollectors.org/LivingStr
