  1. Astronomers share climate-friendly meeting solutions

    "In addition to pure #VirtualMeetings, Gokus and her co-authors propose hybrid formats and meetings held at a small number of physical hubs, which can then be virtually linked.

    This approach has the potential to reduce long-haul travel in particular, which contributes the majority of #emissions.

    These choices not only make astronomy meetings greener, they also can make astronomy more inclusive as a discipline."
