In this episode, I speak to Dr Jürgen Knödlseder on the following topics:
– What are the components of a carbon footprint in science, particularly in astrophysics research?
– How was the lab’s carbon footprint estimated?
– How do we continue to do research and minimise our carbon footprint?
– What are some new ways that conferences are being conducted?
– Looking at new research with “old” data
– Are there enough astronomers to justify all the new instruments coming online?
– How increasing co-operation and reducing competition will help reduce wastage
– A rundown on Dr Knödlseder’s foray into local politics from the lens of environmentalism
