How do scientists balance science with protest? My new piece for @theconversation.com, explores how scientists transition into activism and sustain their engagement.
This is based on my recently published ethnographic paper journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

Menschliches Verhalten treibt den #Klimawandel voran – doch wie kommen umweltrelevante Entscheidungen zustande? Daria Knoch & Annika Wyss zeigen in @natrevneuro.nature.com, warum der Blick ins Gehirn den Klimaschutz wirksamer machen könnte. Mehr in uniAKTUELL: www.uniaktuell.unibe.ch/2026/mit_bli...

Very cool work alert! It’s concerning that the most influential comms strategies did not nudge proenv beh, when we have found climate disinfo *decreases* proenv beh, even against some of the “successful” comms strategies www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We still have room & need for improvement!
Can nature relieve pain 🌳🧠⚡️? Our latest preregistered neuroimaging study, now out in Nature Communications, suggests it can. We find that virtual nature exposure reduces both subjective and neural pain responses, even when compared to matched control environments. A 🧵 1/6 doi.org/10.1038/s414...
What better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change 🥳💚
We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support.
Let me tell you all about it🧵👇
Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, important and downright strange discoveries about how the human brain, one of the most complex objects in the known universe, works, and 2025 didn’t disappoint. Here are 10 of the most fascinating brain discoveries of this year:

🚨New paper out!
We show that Deep sleep in the TPJ is linked to implicit racial bias! 💤
➡ Our results suggest that local aspects of sleep may account for inter-individual differences in social cognition. 🧠

Snapshot of US EPA's "causes of climate change" webpage as of 12/8/2025. Human causes are no longer mentioned anywhere on the page.
It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

A comparison of data from 64,000 individuals in 64 countries with their self-reports of well-being suggests LLMs cannot provide valid predictions for subjective well-being, in part due to biases rooted in global digital and economic inequality. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/yHIt50XC4z3
Do climate disasters change us? New research with Hoenow & Karki (RWI Essen) examines Germany's devastating 2021 Ahrtal flood. We'd expect a disaster in your backyard to spark urgent climate action—but does it actually? Our findings: it's complicated. 🧵
