Dr. Meredith Glaser w/ The Urban Cycling Institute

In Ep 116, I reconnect w/ Meredith Glaser, Ph.D., Program Director of the Urban Cycling Institute w/ the University of Amsterdam, who provides an update on what life's been like living in The Netherlands through a pandemic as both an ex-pat and a parent. We reflect a bit on the impact of Dutch cycle network study tours and some of the other initiatives of the Institute. She also describes some of the new course study opportunities she's involved with that will be coming online soon on Coursera and also a new joint Master's degree program with Dutch, German, and Swedish universities combining forces.

Background:
Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.

Since 2010, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."

The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.

Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful.
