"I wrote a thing" seems to be the modestly-acceptable thing to write when you actually sweated blood to get the thing to fruition. So here it is. I wrote a thing, with massive help from people much more brilliant than I: pnas.org/content/early/…

And here is a website I put together about relational mobility. PNAS paper data visualizations, relational mobility scale in 20 languages, and more! relationalmobility.org #relationalmobility #Datavisualization #openscience

Off to Cross-Cultural Psychology (IACCP) at Guelph, 100km south of Toronto. Direct flight from Tokyo to Toronto. From there, the bike ride to Guelph will (hopefully) help me kick the jetlag into submission. #conferencebybike

Made it 30km on my bike to the sleepy little town of Georgetown off the Tokyo-Toronto flight. Amazing to see the great Canadian multiculturalism first hand in the southern suburbs of Toronto. Here is a photo of a sunset. #conferencebybike #commuting

Standing room only at the #relationalmobility session at the Cross-Cultural Psychology (IACCP) conference in Guelph, Canada. I am 100% behind Joanna's call for other ways to measure relational mobility.

Exciting to see another multi-country study measuring Masaki YUKI's #relationalmobility by Matt Easterbrook at #iaccp2018. Study looks at how relational mobility explains why relationship between multi-group membership and self-esteem varies in strength btw. countries.

MAP CORRECTION | A small but important correction to the Iwanai-dake (岩内岳) PDF topomap we posted 2 days ago - Rob Thomson mistakenly indicated an old trailhead. Thx to Phil on Instagram for pointing this out - great to get feedback. hokkaidowilds.org/hiking/iwanai-…

We now have the lowest website access numbers since launch (red line). With international travel impossible, seems no one is Googling "Hokkaido" (light blue line) - searches for "Hokkaido" also at the lowest in the last 2.5 yrs. Interactive figure: hokw.jp/access-drop-HW

CANOE ROUTE | Tobetsu River (当別川) flows through a forgotten forested wonderland just one hour's drive north of Sapporo City. Expect gorgeous bed-rock riverbeds, white-tailed eagles, native deer, and plenty of fish. hokkaidowilds.org/water/tobetsu-…

We recently walked the length of the Daisetsuzan Range. Here's how we planned and prepared for walking the 8-day Daisetsuzan Grand Traverse in Japan's northern-most island of Hokkaido - with food and kit-lists! hokkaidowilds.org/daisetsuzan-gr…

Daisetsuzan Grand Traverse Day 1 Blog Post - A rather subdued, misty, but satisfying start to the eight-day trip, via marshes, gusty bush-whacks, and inspiring ridges. Amazing diversity in vegetation in this day alone. hokkaidowilds.org/daisetsuzan-gr… #daisetsuzangrandtraverse
