@bensb @academicchatter Funders eg Wellcome Trust increasingly require that this data be made available in a public repository in which case “forgetting” to do so is a breach of funding conditions.

@bensb @academicchatter It seems like the journal might take this seriously so a good place to start. I've been down a bit of a rabbit hole about US research integrity and it is quite robust, at least for gov funded projects. Good luck!

Stumbled across this bus picture from METRO A Line BRT in Minneapolis, MN 🇺🇸 in this article https://www.kimley-horn.com/news-insights/perspectives/bus-rapid-transit-design-efficient-urban-transit/

At one level “oooh easy way to carry bikes on a bus”

At another level “imagine you're a pedestrian and get hit by that, and what about the driver's line of sight”

I'm pretty sure this would not be allowed in Europe

@jon 30 or so years ago they changed school bus design in North America to make the fronts flat rather than having the engine sticking out front. This was done as a safety measure so that the driver could see kids crossing in front more easily. This strikes me as a massive step backwards.

Also, I didn't really see until I expanded the image, which earned it a massive WTF??
