Wolf "M237" has been tracked walking nearly 2000km(!) across Europe. kora.ch/en/news/longest-know… 800km more than Slavc who's 1200km trek from Slovenia to Italy was my favourite story in Where the Animals Go. 👇Map of Slavc with the 🐺 populations of Europe

Getting to the Point? Rethinking Arrows on Maps: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… @cartohype and I took a deep dive into how arrows came to be used on maps...and what they've come to mean. It's a fascinating history!

Classic “campus greening” outside my office this morning. There’s a dead tree on the concrete where the temporary staging normally goes (I guess for Instagram) so staging is now wrecking fresh (living) turf that we’re not allowed to walk on 🙄. Why not swap them @UCLEstates?

I think we'd be great friends, but very boring co-authors by the looks of things

Not only has AI reassured us it isn’t coming for our jobs, it is also keen to defend our pensions. 😂

Given how over the top some TV election graphics have become I'd welcome back the guy with a paintbrush and stepladder (from 1959).

Move to Central London, get married, move out... One of my favourite maps to reveal the dynamics of the city. From 2021 Census Data.
