✨We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of a brand-new OHBM online satellite meeting, co-organized by the Sustainability and Environment Action Special Interest Group (SEA-SIG) and OHBM.✨ Mark your calendars: September 2025! 🌱🌍

A very interesting paper about public trust in climate scientists. As neuroscientists that are interested in sustainability, what are the implications of these findings for us? Maybe we use our own voices to promote climate science? osf.io/preprints/osf/…

A large part of academia is conference culture. Sadly, this is one of the most carbon-intensive aspects of research. What can we do?! Thankfully, we at the SEA-SIG have a vision for conferences of the future 🌍! apertureneuro.org/article/87678-…

Weekends are a great time to let ideas percolate, so why not give @NickSouter's paper on "10 recommendations for reducing the carbon footprint of neuroimaging research" a read and let it sink in while you head outside and get some fresh air? direct.mit.edu/imag/article/d…

Thankfully, there are a number of avenues where neuroscientists can get involved in sustainable practices. Figure 1 from the article (pictured here) has a great quick summary. Let's get the conversation going! What sustainable practices have you incorporated into your research?

What is the relationship between neuroscience and climate change? At first these topics can seem very distinct, but this article by Rae et al. makes a very compelling case for why we should incorporate environmental awareness into our research practices. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23…

Seems like a good time to remind our followers that we are also on Bluesky: @ohbmenvironment.bsky.social
