Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

🔍 Ever wondered where migration research is taking place?

➡️ 75% of migration research centres in Europe & N. America

Lorenzo Piccoli shares insights from a new tool that maps migration research & explores what this imbalance means for policy and future studies.
