  1. Provinces failing their their cities on #UrbanWater is something of pastime in #CanadianPolitics. Even so, #DougFord and his minions stand out in their reflexive distrust of expertise and utter lack of interest in actually governing for the public good. Mike Harris and his cronies were close, I suppose. These are simply not serious people. #UrbanWaterFutures #SwimDrinkFish #OurGreatLakes

  2. A presentation on #UrbanWater and #MarathonSwimming that some very patient urbanists and philosophers endured on Friday, at a wonderful 10th anniversary meeting of the Philosophy of the City Research Group at Brooklyn College. This might be the weirdest take on a classic marathon swim: urban swimming as flâneury!

  3. I am thrilled and honoured to announce that I have been appointed as the next Director of the Water: Effective Technologies and Tools (WETT) Research Centre at #RMITUniversity (starting from the end of January, 2023).

    I look forward to building on the excellent prior leadership of Prof. Jega Jegatheesan and previously, Prof. Felicity Roddick and to working with current and future members of the #WETTResearchCentre to expand and further strengthen our research, innovation and translation in water science, engineering and technologies at #RMIT.

    I look forward also to working collaboratively with water industry partners and stakeholders (including Aboriginal Traditional Owners) to provide sustainable solutions for water management and usage and to protect our natural waterways, bays and seas.
