Following my work with the National Emergency Briefing, I've been reflecting on climate and nature science communication and the approaches I have found most impactful. www.abiperrin.com/p/communicat...

Is your MP attending the critical National Emergency Briefing on the Climate & Nature Crisis? 👇 Enter your postcode on their website to find out and, if not, urge them to attend: www.nebriefing.org

🥼📣 If you are a #scientist and want MPs to attend this vital Emergency briefing, please sign our open letter. Not received this via academic channels? Email [email protected] with subject line "Send letter" for details.

MPs have not been briefed on the interconnected climate & nature crisis, and the threat of food shortages, NHS collapse and civil unrest. If you think they should be, so Government can protect the public, please ask them to come to the National Emergency Briefing - enter postcode 👇

Do you think your MP should be briefed on the threats from ongoing damage to #climate & #nature?

Please check if they’re coming on 27 Nov👉 www.nebriefing.org They’ll hear the evidence that genuine emergency action will make ordinary people much better off. #TimeToStepUp #NEB

"I've increasingly embraced an identity as both a scientist and an activist" At the @granthamcsf.bsky.social's Sustainability Summit, scholars and scientists explored what roles art and activism have to play in furthering serious action on climate breakdown 🪧 @sheffielduni.bsky.social

On 27th Nov we have a shot at creating a positive societal tipping point towards genuine emergency action on the #climate #nature crisis—action which will make us better off. Maximising MPs attendance is key. Please enter your postcode to see if your MP has confirmed yet. www.nebriefing.org

I urge all policymakers to attend this vital briefing on the climate & nature crisis, which brings the latest science from leading experts straight to the people in power. I’d like to see one in every country, & the organizers are open to sharing the model. More info: www.nebriefing.org

👇The briefing we need as-many-as-possible of our MPs and influential figures in society to receive. ⚠️ Visit www.nebriefing.org and ask your MP to get to grips with the Emergency we all need to confront together.

The age of warnings is over. The climate and nature crisis is already here, threatening our food, health and national security. On 27 Nov, top UK experts deliver the official briefing our leaders urgently need. Make sure your MP attends❗️ #TimeToStepUp www.nebriefing.org

Pleased to announce that @tristramwyatt.bsky.social & I have a new article out in @uk.theconversation.com, based on work with colleagues from @scientistsforxr.earth We outline "How scientists can contribute to social movements and climate action" Here's a thread with some background & key points 🧵

"It’s more important than ever that our professional bodies and institutions are emboldened by their membership to advocate for the public good that science brings, and the need to defend academic freedom, recognising that often means speaking truth to power."

📣 New post and article on Scientists and Emergency Action 📣 🥼 On the many ways we can take action... and why we're powerful when we do: abiperrin.com/p/scientists... 💬 On how we can support the movements that drive transformation, via @theconversation.com: theconversation.com/how-scientis...

To celebrate 40 years of indie publishing, we asked the O'Mara family to tell us their favourite MOM book that has been published over the years 🥳 From our list, Managing Director Lesley O'Mara chose her favourite title as #ScientistsOnSurvival. buff.ly/TMsDRce #BookSky @scientistsforxr.earth

A liveable & sustainable future for all is currently at risk. Scientists can act in ways commensurate with research evidence. On a spectrum from indirect to direct @abiperrin.bsky.social‬ et al. outline actions that scientists can take to catalyze change re climate & nature doi.org/10.1038/s441...

The audio book version of "Scientists on Survival" is now available. It's produced by @bolindaoriginals.bsky.social and you can get a preview including the foward by @chrisgpackham.bsky.social as well as introductory chapters by @abiperrin.bsky.social & @stucap.bsky.social youtu.be/Sc5yQoigxS4

🥼 In an escalating climate and nature emergency there are *so* many ways that scientists use our skills and influence positively. Want to know more? Check out Charlie's thread, and our brand new paper: www.nature.com/articles/s44168-025-00268-9

As Scientists, if we can’t take action ourselves, we have an absolute duty & responsibilty to support & promote those brave individuals who peacefully, creatively & radically carry our data… the message… to the media, the public, the decision makers

Our role as scientists is different now 🥼🌍 If decision-makers & governments had acted on the science we wouldn’t be facing climate & biodiversity collapse 🔥 Publications, data & presentations alone can’t save us 🔬📄 Taking action can

Very proud to join @just-stopoil.bsky.social at their last action ✊❤️‍🔥 Scientists & Health Professionals marched in celebration & solidarity with the brilliant & brave Just Stop Oil 🦺🧯 Joy, anger, fear, frustration, love & pride in equal measure on the streets 🪧 #ResistanceWorks #JustStopOil

An important book, by real scientists, about the biggest challenge we are all facing @scientistsx.bsky.social

" #Science generates evidence, which in turn informs policy and creates positive societal & global change. But now that social contract has been broken. So what does that mean for scientists? In a new book, 25 experts explain how they have had to change tactics in the face of the #ClimateEmergency"

‘What would it look like if we expanded our conception of what a scientist needs to be in the twenty-first century? What if every scientist were to stand up for science, joining thousands of their colleagues to demand the systemic changes we desperately need?’ - Abi Perrin #ScientistsOnSurvival

Scientists are our truth-tellers. Now they’re rebelling for life. www.bigissue.com/news/activis...

“The Power of Personal Stories” Great blog from research scientist @abiperrin.bsky.social reflecting on why she & the @scientistsx.bsky.social community wrote #ScientistsOnSurvival - Personal Stories of Climate Action 📕 & what it was like to co-create such a book: abiperrin.com/blog/the-pow... 🌍🥼❤️‍🔥

A must read!

‘It might seem like nobody’s listening when we talk of greenhouse gasses, 2050 and 1.5C, but maybe that’s not how best to break the silence. With a relevant story, a human angle and a little creativity, I think we can find ways to spark those crucial conversations.’ - Charlie Gardner

This is an absolutely marvellous and inspiring book that everyone should read All scientists who have yet to stick their heads above the parapet should read it and act accordingly There are no grant-awarding bodies on a dead planet
