Being an international organization, we typically meet over zoom. 🧑‍💻 Last weekend @leo Sebastian, Adrienne Cool, and Sarah Maria Wagner (four of five members of the charity board) finally met in person! 🤩 They took the opportunity and held their meeting in the Bavarian alps (Wendelstein) with plenty of time to stargaze and enjoy nature. 🏔️ Many new ideas were born and we are starting the preparations for our five year anniversary meeting on the 21st November. 🥳 Stay tuned!

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine@twitter.com today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.
