The need for creative, out-of-the-box thinking on climate change communication and messaging, especially with scholarly engagement from disciplines beyond the climate sciences and with attention to empirical evaluation, has never been stronger. Spearheaded by Professor of Environmental Sciences and Policy at Duke University and returning ITP Grant Partner Nicole Heller, this project will bring together a group of scholars and practitioners predominately from the Duke University community in neurobiology, behavioral economics, climate and earth science, and the arts. They will explore experimental understanding to date and possible new research and education avenues at the intersection of art, cognition and climate science.
Returning ITP Grant Partner and Climate Scientist Nicole Heller of Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment, along with several neuroscientists and artists recently gathered for a two day retreat in North Carolina. Their coming together may change the way we receive the climate change message. Read about their "pause" here.
