Have you heard of, or are you experiencing, eco-grief or climate anxiety? For many STEM researchers, including those in the mathematical and data sciences, this is becoming a very real thing as they explore and tackle problems and questions about the environment and climate. But just how serious of a problem is this for the STEM community? A group of women, who met as part of their involvement with the Homeward Bound project, have decided to team up and find out. They just completed of survey of researchers to find out how climate change is affecting the people who study it. In this episode, we explore some of what they have already uncovered. Plus, some tools and some messages of hope they have for anyone who might be experiencing these feelings. Our guest is Dr Alexandra Knight, an Ecologist and Environmental Sociologist at Charles Sturt University. Our host for this episode is Rose Crocker, an applied mathematician with the Australian Institute of Marine Science. NOTE: We understand this discussion may affect some of you.
