"Anything else you’re interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water. Don’t sit this one out. Do something. You are by accident of fate alive at an absolutely critical moment in the history of our planet." — Carl Sagan

#showyourstripes day - using data to drive conversations about #climatechange Global warming since 1884 The risks are enormous and the challenge is immense, but we do have solutions at hand. Time to act with urgency #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice

'Extreme heat is the engine of planetary chaos. We ignore it at our peril.' Such a great piece from Jeff Goodell on confronting horrors, and maintaining hope, in our heating world. nytimes.com/2023/07/08/opi…

We're committed to improving the sustainability of medical research, so we want to hear your views and experiences on the challenges in this space so we can better support the medical research community in improving environmental sustainability ➡️ orlo.uk/tGVqk

when someone you love gets sick, you get an immediate shot of clarity on what's important in life we need to feel that shock, and jolt of perspective, but for the whole planet .....because all those important things are currently at risk theguardian.com/science/2023/j…

We finally have a scientific health check for the entire planet! 6 of 9 planetary boundaries currently transgressed. This does not mean irreversible collapse, but we are losing resilience. We are putting the stability of the entire earth system at risk.

It was great to join the Bicycle Therapeutics Green Festival to present on sustainable science and hear about their environmental work (and lovely living wall)!

Brilliant talk from Al Gore - hard to fathom that $7 trillion was spent subsidising fossil fuels last year #climatereality ted.com/talks/al_gore_…

Lysosome damage triggers direct ATG8 conjugation and ATG2 engagement via non-canonical #autophagy, say Jake Cross (Jake Cross), Oliver Florey Oliver Florey Babraham Institute and colleagues: bit.ly/3rNoN17 Jo Durgan David McEwan #Biochemistry #Organelles #lysosomes

114. 114 epic, world-leading researchers contributed to this year's The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change report, driven by the firm belief, that through a health lens, we can tackle climate change, and deliver a thriving future for all. And you can now read it, below: thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Thanks Manu De Rycker for visiting Babraham Institute and for a great seminar - fantastic drug development work on important, neglected diseases

Lovely piece - brings back very happy memories of London & NYC (& Fig 3), Alan’s incredible science, kindness and humour, and all the great friends made in his lab.

Awesome to see you speaking about this important research Katherine Fletcher - well done! Oliver Florey Babraham Institute

We were happy to join this nature Spotlight on Sustainable Science – thanks Chris Woolston with Jo Durgan, My Green Lab, @ThomasFreese3, @ProfSmyth and Carbon Neutral Laboratory Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN nature.com/articles/d4158…

""Earth for All" shows it's possible to move not only towards a sustainable future, but to do it fast." We spoke with Johan Rockström of Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK, just as Earth may have breached the 7th of 9 planetary boundaries. Why does he still see a pathway to a "safe landing"? Watch now⬇️

Cross et al. Oliver Florey demonstrate that non-canonical #autophagy activation, and not lysophagy, is responsible for the majority of ATG8 lipidation observed upon #lysosome damage. hubs.la/Q02_59LX0 Part of the Year in Cell Biology: hubs.la/Q02_5lWS0 #CellBio2024
