This *and* they're hosting their annual meeting in a country where LGBTQ+ people cannot safely attend, and people from many non-western countries are having their visas rejected ? Not a good look for European Astronomical Society on the sustainability and diversity front 😕

Rendez-vous le mardi 19 septembre à 13h pour la 1ère intervention du cycle avec Leo Burtscher de Astronomers for Planet Earth

.American Astronomical Society (AAS) is looking for ideas on how to improve their hybrid meeting format. Can we help them? The Future of Meetings Vanessa Moss Astronomers for Planet Earth @DidierBarret

In the age of the #ClimateCrisis -- and internet meetings -- what reason can there be to demand an employee's immediate, CO2-intensive return or else terminate his contract? We stand with you, Gianluca, to fight for a better world! (It's the only one we have)

Thrilled to share an interview with Leo Burtscher from Astronomers for Planet Earth, a grassroots organization advocating for sustainability in astronomy. Read my article in Scientia Pakistan: shorturl.at/gnFH9 #carbonfootprint #Sustainability #A4E

Today I spoke to several conservative members of parliament ⁦CDU·CSU⁩ and opened my statement with our ⁦Astronomers for Planet Earth⁩ cosmic perspective. This resonated very well and led to a good discussion about the best ways to implement climate action.

How much did astronomers actually travel in terms of distance in 2019 in total? More than 300 times to the moon and back! Or, to put it in astronomical units: more than 1.5 AU! doi.org/10.1093/pnasne… My🧵summarizing our paper, written together with members of Astronomers for Planet Earth:

A study by our members, led by Dr. Andrea Gokus, calculates the travel #emissions to #astronomy meetings and discusses alternative meetings formats to reduce those emissions, which is essential to make astronomy more #sustainable, but also more #inclusive. 👉 doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…
