Outside the British Museum in London, someone’s customised an old-school phone booth. A stuffed fox in a suit is making a call, a squirrel’s looking scandalised, and all the prostitution cards making puns on different woodland creatures. #london #publicart #Taxidermy #art #streetart #BritishMuseum #vice

“Our motivation behind the research stems from our interest in exploring both protective and adverse environmental factors which could impact mental health. I am hoping that our exploration of some of these factors could be used to influence the future planning and design of healthier cities,” said lead author Ryan Hammoud (@ryanhammoud), a PhD candidate and research assistant at King’s College London. #Birds #MentalHealth #Nature
