👇A National Emergency Briefing to #BringScienceToPolitics? Yes please. ⚠️ Visit www.nebriefing.org and ask your MP to be there.

Earlier this month ~200 scientists gathered to #BringScienceToPolitics. Hear why @chrisgpackham.bsky.social joined us. Part of the "increasing number of scientists realising that the job isn't done once the paper is published"? Follow us and help push for the evidence-informed policy we all need.

@chrisgpackham.bsky.social speaking to the New Scientist podcast about the @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social event last Tuesday, tune in from 8:52.

I had a great time at the #climateprotest last week - I know fun isn't really the goal but it was a beautiful day with inspiring talks and the reassurance of being around sensible people who care about the planet and are actually trying to do something about it @ScienceToPolitics.bsky.social #win

Great to meet my constituent Christoph Bourges this week, part of the #BringScienceToPolitics rally. 200+ scientists joined Chris Packham & others in Parliament Square calling for urgent, evidence-based action on climate & nature. 💚 @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

✊ Incredible day yesterday at #BringScienceToPolitics! 🥼 We stood with 150+ scientists demanding science-led policymaking. 📢 Scientists called on their MPs to sign the Climate and Nature Bill's Early Day Motion. Will you join them? 🚨 Email your MP today. 👉 action.zerohour.uk/write #CANBill

Wish it had not come to this - the UK's leading scientists are now protesting for #climateaction. Huge respect to all those who gathered in Parliament Square - although this unparalleled level of knowledge should have been invited INSIDE to brief politicians! @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social #science

Very uplifting to be part of #BringScienceToPolitics in Parliament Square this morning. Thank you to @tristramwyatt.bsky.social for spreading the word! @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social 📸 Denise Laura Baker

Proud to be part of a BTO trio joining other scientist friends at @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social today, and also had a really useful chat with @terryjermymp.bsky.social. Now let's hope the people with the power to tackle the climate & nature emergencies get serious, and fast! #NoNatureNoFuture

Scientists visited UK parliament yesterday(over 150 spanning 7 generations)to offer support to help MPs develop, understand, and vote on policies. Vital resource of impartial info to counter the paid lobbyists. @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

“Scientists need to step up to the plate” Former Government Chief Scientific Advisor Sir David King to massed scientists outside Parliament yesterday As scientists we need to hold Government to account #BringScienceToPolitics @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

I went to Parliament today with 150 other scientists to #BringScienceToPolitics. As Sir David King said in his speech, we are currently still accelerating into the polycrisis and we need those in power to put the brakes on immediately! #ActOnFacts @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

🌍 UK scientists stage historic climate protest at parliament Chris Packham joins over 150 British experts rallying in London to demand urgent, science-based climate policy By Brian McHugh @brianmchugh.bsky.social @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

It was extremely heartening to see and meet so many scientists out at Parliament today protesting to bring @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social and ensure our rapid response to the climate and nature crisis - I've contacted and green carded my MP, have you?

This morning I was in Parliament Sq with loads of other scientists and @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social Great speeches by @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and Sir David King. Why not join us next time so we can fill the square? #AcademicChatter

Chris Packham has led a demonstration of 150 scientists demanding politicians “bring science to politics”. @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

Great speeches by expert scientists, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and Sir David King, the former UK chief scientific advisor. Politics must act on facts. This is especially important when it comes to the #climatecrisis. #bringsciencetopolitics

Wonderful to meet so many scientists and activists today - great speeches on the importance of following the science not the hustlers and lobbyists (aka also hustlers) also a piece of chewing gum evolving into a trilobite
