Heartbreaking watching young environmental protestors driven to direct action and the risk of arrest. Professor Vanessa Andreotti told us about a young person who said: 'It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion'.

"I think it's a crisis of community".
We need to find new ways of empathising with each other. As academics, that involves finding new ways to engage with the public.
Next week, we're launching a toolkit on just that topic. Sign up for a first look here: facultyforafuture.org/engage…

"When does incremental change become systemic change?"
@Matthew__Green on the shortcomings of media coverage of the socio-environmental crisis.

We have some ideas: facultyforafuture.org/engage…
Peter Friederici: many academic colleagues, looking at the long history of reporting various crises to little effect, are apt to give up. "The first thing we have to break through is that we can't give up."
F4F exists to help academics through this.

Sarri Bater: "We need to build our muscles for courageous discomfort".
Faculty for a Future exists to help academics do this.
