#RiskComm Insights Pt. 1: Timing impacts how people perceive & respond to risk ⏳. We are more likely to act when risks feel immediate, but with long-term risks (like #ClimateChange), urgency fades—even if the threat is real.

Are microplastics really a problem? Search Engine · Episode

Really loved the most recent episode of Search Engine talking about the science behind microplastics. Helpful to discern your personal risk, but really appreciated how they dissected how we as humans navigate uncertainty. Well worth a listen!

✨ Upcoming Workshop: Communicating Risk ✨

Every day, we all make decisions that require us to consider risk, but it can be challenging to communicate risk to others in compassionate, meaningful ways. Join us Aug. 8: buff.ly/2kO29Hr

Mind blown by this Nature paper on dopamine neurons! 🤯 (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) It reveals how our brains map future reward by probability & time. This is HUGE for risk communication – imagine messages tailored to the brain's own "language"! #Neuroscience #RiskComm

Want to learn about our #RiskComm workbook or the new Joining Forces network for academics & practitioners in Risk communication with @lr-foundation.bsky.social #IPUR @laramani14.bsky.social? Talk to @leonorsierra.bsky.social and Sam ElBadry at the #CurrentofChange symposium @asranetwork.org.
