Worried about the role of science in a world on fire and under rising fascism? Then come to my lunch talk tomorrow, Jan 21 at 12 PM CET, with @jeannetteeggers.bsky.social on Researcher's Desk, where we'll talk about my new book Science in Resistance. Open to all! us02web.zoom.us/j/6639856178

May I once again not-at-all-humbly reiterate what I said back in 2022: the centrist brain-worm that "energy security" comes from crawling from dependence on one fossil fuel supplier to another is absolute bullshit: Europe could and should have been reducing gas reliance faster for the past 3 years

On Wednesday Jan 21 at 12 noon, Fernando Racimo will present his new book “Science in Resistance: The Scientist Rebellion for Climate Justice” at a @researchersdesk.bsky.social lunch seminar. The Zoom link is: us02web.zoom.us/j/6639856178. Welcome! bsky.app/profile/rese...

"It’s far from unreasonable to expect scientists and the academic community to act in line with their own knowledge and warnings, and I think it’s fair to say that (like most other parts of society) academia isn’t responding robustly to a world that’s literally and metaphorically on fire."

My interview at @ceis20.bsky.social in Coimbra is now online! I talk about my book Science in Resistance, about how universities must stop being ruled by extreme hierarchies, and the crucial role of collective action and labor power in this transformation, which is needed now more than ever.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Science in Resistance: The scientist rebellion for climate justice by Fernando Racimo. Maybe not very surprising, after all, it was reading a paper by Fernando that made me join Scientist Rebellion three years ago. 🧵

Today @ferracimo.bsky.social visited #Læderstræde20 to discuss his new book ‘Science in Resistance’ w/ @frederikappelolsen.bsky.social “Science is never neutral” was one of Racimo’s arguments for scientists engaging in activism. And, I reflect: Not objecting to status quo isn’t neutral either.

Singing "Dies Irae" from Verdi's requiem, with Scientifiques en Rebellion @scientifiquesenrebellion.fr and the fantastic Orchestre de Nouveau Monde orchestredunouveaumonde.fr was a perfect way to take notion of government and private sector inaction during the 10 years since the Paris Agreement.

I recommended reading this book after having seen a near-final draft and I have now read it again. Fernando's account is a fantastic achievement and highly recommended reading for anyone who wants to understand why so many scientists now leave their labs and join the protests for a better future.

The new book ‘Science in Resistance’ written by @ferracimo.bsky.social features stories of scientists taking action. London, 12th Dec, likely at Queen Mary (TBC) with @scientistsforxr.earth Details will be posted by @scientistrebellion.bsky.social
