How cell biology can save the planet - Nature Cell Biology

Jan 16, 2024 | nature.com | Karla M. Neugebauer

Climate change affects us all, and tackling it requires a concerted effort, but it isn’t always evident how cell biologists’ work can impact climate change. Here, I share my experience addressing climate change as a molecular cell biologist and educator. Today, many 17-year-olds urgently want to save the planet from the disastrous effects of global warming. They wonder why they should go to college.
Biochemists face the climate challenge

Sep 14, 2023 | asbmb.org | Karla M. Neugebauer

Everyone knows coral bleaching occurs when seawater gets hot. Biochemists ask: How? Corals die when their photosynthetic algal symbionts experience heat stress and exude hydrogen peroxide, causing coral tissue to expel the algae. Thus, coral bleaching is a biochemical process that we can understand and engage with, imagining new solutions to climate changes that degrade our planet. Abstract submission begins Sept. 14. If you submit by Oct. 12, you'll get a decision by Nov. 1.
