How can we use behavioral science to shift consumers to be more #sustainable? Our new @HarvardBiz says use social influence, shape good habits, leverage the domino effect, decide whether to talk to the heart or the brain, and favor experiences over ownership!

I grew up here in #Gstaad and learned skiing on this slope in the 70s. Back then scientists had evidence that fossil fuel causes warming. This is Jan 1, 2023. Climate science is my profession, but this is where it gets personal. When do we understand that we need to change?

@WhyJenWhy @iamastrangebool Is there a particular one that you would recommend?

George W. Bush: "The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq — I mean of Ukraine."

@claudiaiglesias @SchulichSchool It was really great seeing you Claudia!

These are all true learning facts (but surprise many instructors) 📝Low-stakes testing is good 📘Rereading is not 📅Spaced out learning beats learning at once 🧩Learning styles are a myth 📱No one is good at multitasking, and multitasking hurts learning 2/ onlinelearningconsortium.org/read/internati…

With all the cute, quirky #dalle2 AI images that have been circulating these last few days, I wanted to share some other images* that DALL-E 2 also made that you may not have seen. *Warning: these are quite distressing 1/ 🧵

@yestiseye Yes, you're right, not technically renewable. Should have said low carbon.

@rishhabib Well yeah, "low carbon" anyway which is the important thing …not everybody agrees about it being "renewable" but that's just a label in the end. app.electricitymap.org/zone/CA-ON Still better on a bad day than California on its best day.

Looked up Ontario and 95% of power is from renewable sources! cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analys…

"Europe has been home to some of the worst wars and worst war crimes in human history. I mean, the Holocaust! So why this surprise that bad things are happening in Europe?" Me to @AymanM on media coverage of Ukraine versus the Middle East:

This is a civilized city! They're blue-eyed and blond-haired! This is Europe, not the Third World! Tonight on @MSNBC, @AymanM and I discussed some of the awful and, frankly, racist coverage of the Ukraine war & Ukrainian refugees compared to the MidEast:

Great thread of the blatant racism in recent media coverage. This is just the "quiet parts out loud". @CBS @BBC @SkyNewsBreak @AlJazeera maybe don't include these obviously biased correspondents in the future?

The official visuals of Ukrainians blocking Africans from getting on trains. #AfricansinUkraine

@SanjithG_ @nytimes Wow didn't think the NYT would resort to sludge but they must be fighting to keep the few subscribers they have. @dilipsoman have you seen this?

Liz Dunn and I co-created the Happy Climate workshop that uses the science of sweet spot approach to increase happiness while reducing carbon emissions! This workshop can be run in any group anywhere with anyone. Give a try here: happyclimate.org @DunnHappyLab

@VinceInSK Thank you Vince!

Yesssss congratulations Dr. Habib!!! 🎉🎉🎉 @rishhabib

@cbcgeek @White_K8 @UBCSauderSchool @ubcprez Thank you Heather! =)

@White_K8 @rishhabib @UBCSauderSchool @ubcprez Woot! Woot! Congrats, Rishad. Hopefully you'll have some downtime soon to catch your breath.

@White_K8 @UBCSauderSchool @ubcprez Thank you Kate! Could not have done it without you and wish I could have been there!
