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 🌱

A great eye-opening presentation by keynote speaker @EstherPapies on what we can do as researchers to address the climate emergency #uksbm2024 #ClimateCrisis #climateresearch #Sustainability

Thanks @EstherPapies for an inspiring keynote on what behavioural science can deliver to secure human and planetary health at @UKSBM Annual Scientific Meeting 2024👏👏 #behaviourchange #climatechange

Looking forward to the first day of #UKSBM2024! Join @NWCoupe and I at 11:20 - 11:50 tomorrow (Thursday 14th **March**) in Megalithic 3 for an informal networking session for the new UKSBM Climate Change Special Interest Group 🌍 Hope to see you there 👋🏻 #UKSBM

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. nicholaspoggioli.files.wordpress.com/2023/08/poggio…

🥙 PLANT-BASED COMMITMENTS AT GLASGOW 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 On Monday, Plant-Based Universities campaigners at the University of Glasgow presented a motion calling for catering to transition to 100% plant-based at the Queen Margaret Union. 1/5

"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 🙏💚!!

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 💪. Drawing heavily on tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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. nature.com/articles/s4155…

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. oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/c…

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.

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 🌎 @ernscot #UofG

📢Recruiting a 3-year Postdoc for an exciting interdisciplinary project on plant-based foods: Maximising potential of plant-based convenience foods in real-life sustainable diets. Need psychology, qual and quant expertise. Please share 💚! jobs.ac.uk/job/DCO592/res…

@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. see below from chathamhouse.org

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…

What is THE most compelling fact you'd share to encourage a transition to plant-based diets? Evidence-based messages for a campus campaign. Thanks! @Bryant_Research @Elisa__Becker @GeorgeMonbiot @veganuary @PlantBasedNews @plantbasedhpuk
