🌎 Rounding out our symposium from OHBM 2024 in Seoul 🇰🇷 is the wonderful @clarekelly.bsky.social "Rethinking academia in a time of climate crisis, or how to be a scientist in a world on fire." 🔬 🔥

➡️ Next up in our OHBM 2024 SEA-SIG symposium throwback series is a fantastic talk from our 2nd speaker, our very own Niall Duncan! "Considering global access to neuroimaging research in the context of the climate crisis."

While we're waiting for this year's FANTASTIC programming in Brisbane 🇦🇺, take a look back at our SEA-SIG symposium talks from last year in Seoul 🇰🇷 entitled "Rethinking (brain imaging) research in a time of socio-ecological crisis" First up is Gabrielle Samuel:

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/
