UPTHINKING….thinking can be taught and learned. Discover more at this year’s Systems Thinking Conference. PM me if you’d like to chat about Systems Thinking ahead of the conference.

This 17-year science contest has produced some of America's brightest young minds. Learn about the incredible accomplishments they have achieved since winning the annual competition and their vision for the future. Read on in the article linked below. #3Mer https://bit.ly/3YR0zRm

?? We are thrilled to announce that one of the OARS Co-leads, Prof Steve Widdicombe, has been shortlisted for the #FrontiersPlanetPrize, for the research article: ‘Unifying biological field observations to detect and compare ocean acidification impacts across marine species and ecosystems: what to monitor and why’,?(co-authored by Kirsten Isensee,?Yuri Artioli,?Juan Diego Gaitán-Espitia,?Claudine Hauri,?Janet A. Newton,?Mark Wells,?and?Sam Dupont). ?? Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/eaynsR-X #oceanacidification #monitoring #biologicalobservations #ecosystems

"The center is home to the “Broader Impacts Toolkit.” This resource includes a Guiding Principles document for BI, a BI planning checklist, the BI Wizard and a BI Project Rubric, which acts as a roadmap for researchers to follow when describing the societal impact of their proposed project — a key component in successful projects that receive funding from the NSF." #broaderimpacts #BI

?? ?? Reflecting on Berlin Science Week 2024: A Hub of Innovation and Dialogue ?? ?? Looking at this year's Berlin Science Week, it's inspiring to see how the festival serves as a vibrant platform for scientific exchange and societal engagement. Two events I attended were held at Holzmarkt and WZB, each contributing uniquely to the festival's theme of "Common Ground." Circular Economy (CE) by INAM at Holzmarkt: This event was a beacon of innovation, showcasing how new materials and technologies are paving the way for a sustainable future. The discussions highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing the CE, emphasizing the need for a "value change" alongside the value chain. Glad to have met movers in this space, Oliver Hasse and Barbora Balcarova, who shared their insights on what's up next in the scene of CE and Open Innovation. I also appreciate learning from IHK Berlin's Andreas Kubala that #digitalization and related infrastructure is a real need according to 66% of their survey's respondents. "Bedrohte Wissenschaft" at Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin fuer Sozialforschung (WZB): This event tackled the pressing issue of threats to scientific freedom and the role of science in bridging societal divides. It was a call to action for participants to explore their beliefs and engage in meaningful dialogue, with quite a few, even poignant, questions raised by the audience. Check out the upcoming Berlin Science Week events until the 10th November via https://lnkd.in/ezg8ehum Let's continue to build on these conversations and work towards a future where science serves as a unifying force in our society ... and perhaps, we'll have a chat (in person) soon! #BerlinScienceWeek #CircularEconomy #ScienceCommunication #Innovation #Sustainability

?? An important day for #Mainz and for science: As part of #Curious2024, the Mainz Science Declaration was signed by the Lord Mayor of Mainz Nino Haase and the Minister of Science and Health in Rhineland-Palatinate Clemens Hoch on july 10th. ? ?? According to the slogan of the Future Insight e.V. initiative 'Make Science Not War', Mainz is also setting an example for a better future through science and technology. ? ???? It is a global call to action to all nations, organizations and societies to devote more resources to the advancement of science and technology to enable humanity to solve the problems of today and to realize the dreams of a better tomorrow.
