Generally, "culture eats strategy for breakfast."

In the last two years, we've hosted several workshops to get scientists thinking + acting. In a new paper, we reflect on this process, and on the value of bottom-up culture change.

Check this paper, Anne. We did Resilience Thinking training on CUNY students to help them improve their resilience, promoting bottom-up culture change. #ecosky #edusky

This work is part of a growing literature on climate action amongst scientists. We take a rather personal perspective, combined hands-on advice for those wanting to do something in their own scientific spaces.

Now, we need some help: where should we submit this https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/um47d? The literature on scientific climate activism is quite distributed, and this paper is a bit unusual. Any tips welcome!
