Calls for #climate action often emphasize the need to reduce harm (e.g. by eating less #meat). A more productive approach may be to encourage people to do more good (e.g. by eating more #plantbased), i.e. to encourage desired behaviors rather than discourage undesired ones: doi.org/10.3389/fcom...

Scientists, given more time and flexibility, often stumble upon unexpected discoveries—like Alexander Fleming, who saw a mould had killed the bacteria he was growing, paving the way for antibiotics. Recent study analysed such findings—more of them than you'd expect. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
