Between physicists - there's an Easter bunny! Last Friday I went to Oslo, you know, the capital of Norway and home of the Vikings, to meet experimental physicist Tommaso Dorigo. Tommaso, who writes A Quantum Diaries Survivor  here on Science 2.0 had a few days earlier announced that he planned a visit to my country and asked for advise on what to see with his family while he was here.

 Last week-end I was being a good mother and drove my son to a party. We took off not long after the Sun had set. The last few evenings and nights have been crystal clear and completely mesmerizing here, on the countryside a little north of Oslo, Norway. This Friday was no different. As we approached the destination I noticed a very bright light in the sky. Even though it's been a while since I was a professional astronomer or astrophysicist, I maintain my habit of checking out the night sky (read: I do it ALL THE TIME) making 'meaningless' remarks about my observations. At least they are percieved as rather dull and meaningless to whomever I senselessly talk to, constantly forgetting that they do not care that much about extraterrestial matters as I do.

Do we really care about climate change? Since we do very little to reduce or limit activities that we believe we know cause climate change one could argue that we - do - not - in - fact - care.

Come again?!

I can almost hear you say.

At a AGU Town Hall meeting in San Francisco last night a group of engaged scientists discussed "Directions in Climate Change Education and Communication"

In the AGU program this meeting was introduced the following way:

Earth Science Bonanza is the best way of describing a meeting where 20 000 Earth science scientists gather from around the entire world. For a whole week San Francisco is saturated with scientists. The highest density can be found around Union Square more specifically at Moscone center. The yearly AGU Fall meeting has started....
