Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the message on the list that shows your concern with the status quo. I agree we have little time left to fix a whole lot of things and need to use our scientist power to the fullest to be part of the solution.  As albert Einstein said "the people who have the privilege of knowing have the duty to act"

We as scientists have a lot of knowledge other people dont have and we are somewhat trusted, people look to us to see if we are panicing or changing our ways to know if this is really an emergency. So we have the duty to act like it is.

My personal contributions:

- used my climate lecture to tell the truth about climate change to my students
- started a environmental group called climate pirates at our field station
- engage in direct action
- write letters to the editor of my local newspaper
- give talks about the climate crisis and about being the change we want to see (e.g. my TEDx talk
https://www.ted.com/talks/dr_franziska_elmer_how_a_marine_biologist_turned_climate_pirate_dec_2020)
- write a newsletter with climate news, events papers to the climate pirate crew
- focus my research on how to use Sargassum algae for carbon capture
- organize virtual conferences that allow people to meet without CO2 emissions
- tell the truth about the climate crisis and about how tranformational the changes need to be, in the best possible way to motivate people to become more active in demanding change or making changes
- share climate news and thoughts on social media
- cut my own emissions

Nice to know you are in our team,

Franziska
