Absolutely delighted to have been awarded best oral presentation at #OXLEAP24 yesterday!

It was fantastic to finally attend the @LEAP_Oxford conference in person and hear about all the brilliant food systems and sustainability research happening in this space 🌱

Why can't academics give up flying?

We identified cultural, individual, and organizational reasons academics think we can't decarbonize research production.

Especially relevant as more conferences & workshops return to offline-only formats.

"The Psychology of Climate Change" students nominated me for a @glasgowunisrc award as Best College Teacher.

This is not about me - it's about the conversations we had, creating a culture of care, and empowering each other to act 💪.

Thank you @UofGPsychNeuro students 🙏💚!!

[Esther K. Papies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @EstherPapies]

Looking forward to my keynote for the @UKSBM community about our role in addressing the climate emergency 💫!

Climate change threatens to undo decades of health progress - I'll discuss ways for each of us to help prevent this 💪.

Climate emotions permeate student learning and research activities, but their influence is poorly understood and often ignored in higher education. Our new pub in @NatureClimate shares recommendations for educators supporting students w/ climate emotions.

A better future isn’t a world away. But first the richest and biggest polluters must begin paying for the damages they’ve caused to people’s lives. Join me and take action now #climatejustice. https://t.co/fG17gvkVfC

We finally have a scientific health check for the entire planet! 6 of 9 planetary boundaries currently transgressed. This does not mean irreversible collapse, but we are losing resilience. We are putting the stability of the entire earth system at risk.

[Dr Tess Davis (she/her) @TessDavisPsy]

Come join the @HealthyCogLab at #Explorathon this Saturday (16th), Sunday (17th) and next Saturday (23rd) in the ARC to talk about all things plant-based! 🥦🥕🍅

We have loads of resources for anyone interested in transitioning towards a more sustainable diet 🌎

@DrNatLawrence @Bryant_Research @Elisa__Becker @GeorgeMonbiot @veganuary @PlantBasedNews @plantbasedhpuk Animal agriculture is an incredibly inefficient way of feeding people. 77% of agricultural land is used for livestock, which provides only 18% of global calories.

To prevent systems collapse, we need to feed people, not animals.

Still looking for a PhD student to come work on ecopsychology, community psychology, or developmental psychology with me here @PsychologyMIC - it’s fully funded and I promise I won’t dramatically sing at you…often…
