@helenezillig.bsky.social presents her research at the #ENLIGHTConference2025! She merged over 1,400 nighttime visits to #BlueSpaces with satellite data measuring Artificial Light at Night ( #ALAN) to explore how the brightness of a location relates to perceived #safety and #wellbeing. 🌃

"Researchers found that artificial pollution at night increased ecosystem respiration: plants, microbes, and animals released more carbon dioxide. However, there was no corresponding increase in photosynthesis, the plant process that removes it from the atmosphere." www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

@helenezillig.bsky.social is a student assistant, supporting the #ZeroPM project and helping classes on #EnvironmentalPsychology run smoothly for both students and lecturers. In her Master’s Thesis, she investigates how people’s #nighttime experience of #BlueSpaces is impacted by artificial light. 💡

Wichtige Potenziale unausgeschöpft: Neue Studie der #univie und der @bokuvienna.bsky.social zeigt Lücken in Österreichs #Klimapolitik 🌍🌡️ Im Bereich Verkehr und Wohnen zielen nur wenige Maßnahmen auf direkte Vermeidung von #Emissionen ab. Mehr dazu: ⤵️

Our poster from the @univienna #WelcomeWeeks orientation event for new students interested in learning about the different teams and labs at the Faculty of #Psychology. 🎓 Thank you @helenezillig.bsky.social for putting this together! Sapere aude – Dare to know!

#TogetherForTheSDGs Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Sustainable Development Goals! Together with the UN Global Compact Network Austria we are raising the SDG Flag to show our sustained commitment to climate action, gender equality, biodiversity, and decent work! 🌍

Der Sternschnuppenschauer der Perseiden erreicht in der kommenden Nacht seinen Höhepunkt 💫 . In diesem Jahr erschwert der helle Mond 🌖 die Beobachtung der Meteore. Allerdings huschen die Perseiden noch bis etwa zum 24. August durch die Nacht 🌠. 👉 to.wetteronline.de/sternschuppe... #Perseiden

Writing is thinking. We get students to write so that they learn how to think and use their brains. Using LLMs to do your work is like trying to be an athlete by getting someone else to do your training for you.

Das Sommersemester hat begonnen! Das Center for Teaching and Learning der @univie.ac.at bietet wieder Schreibmentoring an, von der Aufgabenstellung bis zur Abgabe! Alle Termine und Standorte sind hier zu finden: ctl.univie.ac.at/angebote-fue... #UniWien #Studium

Inspiring & fun 2 days lie behind us. 🧠🌱💡 We had a joint #EnvironmentalPsychology meeting with the @scanunit.bsky.social at @univie.ac.at & the Consumer Decision and Sustainable Behavior Lab coming all the way from Geneva. 🚆

Research foci were presented, future avenues discussed and the freedom of science was protested for at #MarchforScience #StandUpForScience @s4fat.bsky.social. 📢

❓ Why is psychology central to fighting climate change? ❗ Last November, @janakoehler.bsky.social and I answered questions like this one as part of the Kiss The Globe-Event. I summarised the most important points for the @envpsyvienna.bsky.social blog. ⬇⬇⬇ shorturl.at/EP6fU

❓ Welche Rolle spielt Psychologie in der Bekämpfung des Klimawandels? ❗ Diese und weitere Fragen haben @janakoehler.bsky.social und ich bei KISS THE GLOBE beantwortet. Für den Blog von @envpsyvienna.bsky.social habe ich die wichtigsten Punkte noch einmal zusammengefasst. ⬇⬇⬇ shorturl.at/Evg8L
