📢 Upcoming! Join us on Wednesday 18th March @royalsociety.org for an evening discussion on the case for responsible science activism. Book your free, in-person or online space here: bit.ly/46p6YGQ #climatechange #NetZero #Scienceactivism

How do scientists balance science with protest? My new piece for @theconversation.com, explores how scientists transition into activism and sustain their engagement. This is based on my recently published ethnographic paper journals.plos.org/climate/arti... theconversation.com/how-climate-...

How climate scientists balance the tension between research and public protest – new study

Researchers said they tried to manage how their activism was perceived by clarifying their expertise and acting alongside other scientists.

MPs have not been briefed on the interconnected climate & nature crisis, and the threat of food shortages, NHS collapse and civil unrest. If you think they should be, so Government can protect the public, please ask them to come to the National Emergency Briefing - enter postcode 👇

The age of warnings is over. The climate and nature crisis is already here, threatening our food, health and national security. On 27 Nov, top UK experts deliver the official briefing our leaders urgently need. Make sure your MP attends❗️ #TimeToStepUp www.nebriefing.org

Earlier this month ~200 scientists gathered to #BringScienceToPolitics. Hear why @chrisgpackham.bsky.social joined us. Part of the "increasing number of scientists realising that the job isn't done once the paper is published"? Follow us and help push for the evidence-informed policy we all need.

Wish it had not come to this - the UK's leading scientists are now protesting for #climateaction.

Very uplifting to be part of #BringScienceToPolitics in Parliament Square this morning. Thank you to @tristramwyatt.bsky.social for spreading the word! @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social 📸 Denise Laura Baker

Proud to be part of a BTO trio joining other scientist friends at @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social today, and also had a really useful chat with @terryjermymp.bsky.social. Now let's hope the people with the power to tackle the climate & nature emergencies get serious, and fast! #NoNatureNoFuture

Scientists visited UK parliament yesterday(over 150 spanning 7 generations)to offer support to help MPs develop, understand, and vote on policies. Vital resource of impartial info to counter the paid lobbyists. @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social
