5 Websites To Follow on Feedly

I have been using the Feedly app for a number of years now, discovering it while searching for productivity tips.

It is a powerful read-later app especially when integrated with Pocket.

Besides the peer-reviewed journals I read as an academic, here are the sources of my commute lit – short articles that occupy me while in transit.

Citylab and Planetizen

A little bit of cheating here. Urban planning in the Philippines is an emerging issue because of the tragedy of traffic congestion.

These sites give me inspiration of how the local issues can be resolved. It is my dream to write for a blog managed by Filipinos.

There are pieces existing, with the PIEP facebook posts and articles of urban planners (EnP Jean and Prof. Juanico are top of mind).

However, I believe that a repository of city planning strategies fit for the Philippines must be accessible to the public, especially planners in the local government.

I like the Asian Scientist because it inspires me to continue scientific work.

Environmental issues are “evil:”  they are not simply solved by technical ways.

Harvard Business Review

The world is a system. And the system is running, whether we like it or not, because of businesses and powers.
