We also held our own roundtable "Neuro(science) in Resistance"! We had a number ofstimulating discussions on this topic, spearheaded by talks from @clarekelly.bsky.social, Maximilien Chaumon, and Fernando Racimo! We were so happy with the attendance and engagement we got for this session 💗

A good conversation I had this week with Owen Jones from the UK, about the ongoing heatwave www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikvf... @owenjones.bsky.social

Great, climate goals it is then.

Join author Fernando Racimo for a discussion of his book Science in Resistance, a first-person account of the Scientist Rebellion, a global movement of scientists and scholars rising in collective resistance for climate and social justice. Learn more and register: regnet.anu.edu.au/event/scienc...

This week in May 1965 was the biggest teach-in during the Vietnam war, driving 30,000 people to @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social's campus. Next week 28/5 I'll give a talk at Berkeley on the topic of teach-ins & the challenges of organizing academia for socio-ecological liberation. Come one, come all!

I haven't seen a documentary that summarizes the fascist, racist and extractivist logics behind degenerative intelligence as well as Ghost in the Machine. If you watch one documentary about "AI", make it this one: kinema.com/films/ghost-...

we are conditioned to trust AI to know what kinds of lives we should prefer and the choices we should make. Véliz argues instead we should embrace the uncertain to build resilience, to prepare for contingency but not be determined by what we cannot see, and to foster curiosity and imagination.

Academic journal corps like Elsevier are not just funneling away public research money.

"Speaking out of place" is probably one of the most important things we need to be doing now, so I was very happy to be invited to @palumboliu.bsky.social's podcast to discuss my book Science in Resistance and paths to liberating and democratizing education institutions @ucpress.bsky.social

David Palumbo-Liu@palumboliu.bsky.social · 4mo ago

We talk about the connection between power and knowledge, between ecocide and genocide, and the need to democratize education and research if we are going to have the kind of world we want to both live in, and to pass on to other generation

Today Nordea voted to continue financing new oil from the Arctic. Nordea's claim to be a sustainability leader has watered down - they not only continue to be the biggest investor in fossil fuel companies in Finland but also retracted from their climate pledges. Our polar coalition is not happy.

Worried about the role of science in a world on fire and under rising fascism? Then come to my lunch talk tomorrow, Jan 21 at 12 PM CET, with @jeannetteeggers.bsky.social on Researcher's Desk, where we'll talk about my new book Science in Resistance. Open to all! us02web.zoom.us/j/6639856178

May I once again not-at-all-humbly reiterate what I said back in 2022: the centrist brain-worm that "energy security" comes from crawling from dependence on one fossil fuel supplier to another is absolute bullshit: Europe could and should have been reducing gas reliance faster for the past 3 years

Clean Energy Wire | CLEW@cleanenergywire.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Fears grow over Europe’s soaring dependence on US gas imports American LNG was meant to be a safe alternative to Russian gas. That’s no longer a given, with transatlantic relations in crisis

Today @ferracimo.bsky.social visited #Læderstræde20 to discuss his new book ‘Science in Resistance’ w/ @frederikappelolsen.bsky.social “Science is never neutral” was one of Racimo’s arguments for scientists engaging in activism. And, I reflect: Not objecting to status quo isn’t neutral either.
