We landed on #Science today. Please check the letter @Milad_Haghani and I just published on Crowd Crushes lnkd.in/g9Vbvetf


I am very happy to go back to #China this week. I'll be helping starting the new association with Prof Hongyong Yuan from @Tsinghua_Uni and many others. The "International Association for #Disaster Reduction and #Emergency #Management" is about to born o-chearing it. @MasseyUni
My yesterday view of the C/2023 A3 Comet in Pinehill Auckland

A good outcome for #Science! Thanks to Pete Judo for the brilliant videos on this disturbing case. Thank to Zoé Ziani, Ph.D. for be so brave for spotting and reporting the fabricated data. Of course thanks to #DataColada for helping Zoe. Video Link 🔗: youtu.be/Q9tgyVPytBk?si…

A beautiful new case study on how #AugmentedReality can be used for #SafetyTraining. This prototype was developed and tested by Lorraine Ilda Domgue Kamwa here at @MasseyUni during her PhD visiting period. Read more about the results here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Plastic has no place in tunnels because its flammability poses severe fire hazards, endangering lives and damaging infrastructure. See images below from Hong Kong.
Se cumplen dos años de incendio del túnel de la autopista en Gwacheon 🇰🇷 en el que fallecieron 6 personas y 35 heridos, estaba diseñado para ser una barrera antiruido mediante paneles plásticos en su cubierta. Hoy en Hong Kong una nueva estructura similar ha sufrido un incendio.
A new #Scopus milestone this week! 100 documents 🥳 Here my Scopus profile: scopus.com/authid/detail.… School of Built Environment - @MasseyUni

An appropriate time to revisit the excellent study of behaviour in the King's Cross Fire, by @iandonald_psych & @ProfDavidCanter onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
Today marks 37 years since the tragic King’s Cross fire in the London Underground, which claimed the lives of 31 people. This disaster led to significant advancements in fire safety, not only in London and the UK but across the world. Among these was a landmark scientific…
Today I was interviewed on @radionz on how to estimate the size of crowds Here is the recording: rnz.co.nz/national/progr…@ I hope my Rutherford Discovery Research will help have less bias on the reported crowd numbers in future events! @MasseyUni @royalsocietynz

You can now register to our new free webinar on "Decision making and #evacuation behaviour by @makinate_ taking place on the 10th of Dec at 17:00 CET tinyurl.com/HBIF12

I am thrilled to see this groundbreaking paper in Science. It even made the cover, featuring a dramatic image of a house burning in a wildfire. Published in such a prominent journal, the paper might signal the beginning of a paradigm shift in wildlire science. This research…
The most dangerous wildfires are the ones that move and spread quickly. In a new Science study, researchers used satellite data to show that the growth rate of wildfires across the contiguous U.S. increased substantially between 2001 and 2020. Learn more in this week's issue:…

Well done to all the students of our Master of #Construction for completing their research projects here at the School of Built Environment - Massey University! Good luck with your submissions and publishing your results in the near future and hopefully see you back for a PhD 🙂
I will be Full Professor from Jan 2025 at @MasseyUni 🎉🎉🎉 This was possible thanks to all my supervisors, mentors, colleagues, collaborators, students and, of course, my wife and family in Italy and China

Research life can be rough! To avoid major surprises you need to think ahead about your #SampleSize. If you had problem understanding the last part, here a intro video on #PowerAnalysis. Video link 🔗: lnkd.in/gNHcACyn
