"We can no longer afford to subsidise research for environmentally destructive, socially exploitative or military-linked industries in the name of increasing European competitiveness." - @jenniecstephens.bsky.social

Wildfires in Europe so far this summer have led to Spain's deadliest in decades, with temperature anomalies peaking around +9°C in France and Germany and a high of 45.1°C in southern Spain. But how is the UK 'fire wave' after its first 'megafire' that burnt for four days in Dava Moor in May? 1/n

Not just that people focus on this, but they focus on it to the exclusion of almost everything else! Like the amount of f'ing language analysis from the left & academia *dwarfs* the amount of, say, *power* analysis. Y'know ... power? Anyone? Power?

Imperial UCU members are on strike today and tomorrow. This action covers all parts of the College — academic, technical, administrative, and operational. It’s about fairness, dignity, and pay that keeps pace with the cost of living.

Tomorrow: Scientists Responsibility Summit! What is the appropriate stance of scientists in the polycrisis? Let's develop practical paths for a transformative role of academia. 🏛️Attend in-person at HU Berlin: blogs.fu-berlin.de/scientistsre... 💻 Streaming (Webex): tinyurl.com/nh5kpt4e

Coming up this Thursday! Find out how you can be part of the movement to end fossil fuel sponsorship at the Science Museum. You'll hear why parents, educators, arts & cultural workers have all joined the Science Museum Boycott. Join us: zoom.us/meeting/regi... @cultureunstained.bsky.social

In this new piece I argue that the climate crisis cannot be solved within capitalism. I think we need to take this fact seriously and consider what it means for the climate movement. Link in the reply.

"This report...finds over half of minerals designated as ‘critical’ by the UK play ‘no major role’ in the green transition, and that the often-harmful mining of these resources is being driven in a large way by militarisation." www.globaljustice.org.uk/resource/mat...

Culture, education and academic boycott of the Science Museum until Adani & BP are dropped as sponsors! 🎨👩‍🔬✍️ We - writers, academics, performers, artists, scientists, musicians, culture workers - refuse to contribute to Science Museum events and activities and will refuse contracts with the museum…

Imperial College London Action for Palestine will be on Queen’s Lawn today at 12.30. Climate justice is anti war and anti colonisation.

Thrilled that the panel discussion at the end of day 1 of FoLaT included *multiple* student voices talking about #sustainability education. (We hear that this isn’t always the case across Imperial initiatives and events.) Thanks @imperial-edu.bsky.social @ic-cep.bsky.social and others!

We are here - with a poster on Fossil Fuel influence in education! Check out the article on the work in Felix: felixonline.co.uk/articles/a-c...

While I don’t fly, don’t eat meat, etc I feel the most important things I can do as a scientist to combat the climate & ecological emergencies are activism & advocacy

Totally agree. Educators have a sad duty to perform, at all levels. Imperial College has an optional non-credit bearing course on climate change - but it's very shallow. Plus, it has its head in the sand when it comes to techno-fixes. Are we doing our students a disservice? Join us on Tuesday...

This looked great! In related info: here's some great analysis from Felix felixonline.co.uk/articles/her... which also mentions the win from Plant-Based Universities felixonline.co.uk/articles/pla.... Join ICA at our Sustainability Fortnight event next Tue: forms.office.com/e/2HG8FFmYdP
