Today I spoke to WIN News about the importance of #ThirdPlaces.
More & more third places like #libraries are either reducing hours, changing hours to inaccessible times, or closing.
Research shows this disproportionately impacts children & teens, people with low socioeconomic status, & people who are chronically ill: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/…
As part of our #solarpunk season of @sci_burst@mastodon.social, @theEllamo@mastodon.social & I did an ep on the #science of third places. Head to your fav pod platform to tune in!
