I could not agree more. As Mike Ritchie said in his #ESEB presidential address: learned societies have never been more important than now! @eseb.bsky.social
In relation to positive futures, I would add:
✅ Join learned societies
✅ Publish in their journals

#SocietyJournals #SciPub
Six actions for ecologists in times of planetary crisis: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

✅Explicitly recognize and address the #biodiversity crisis
✅Explore positive futures
✅Defend academic freedom
✅Go political
✅Inspire society
✅Address the colonial legacy of ecology

This is a big innovation for #eseb2027 not without it's challenges (time zones, currencies, technical delays...) but with potentially HUGE savings in terms of carbon footprint. So well done @eseb.bsky.social, let's embrace the experiment and make the hub concept a success!

#eseb2025
Aurelien Tellier presenting the details of #eseb2027 which will be a hub meeting, with connected and local sessions in 4 hubs (Gothenburg, Munich, London, Istanbul) eseb2027.org #eseb2025
