Posted: 4/11/2024 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Clayton Page Aldern published a new book, entitled The Weight of Nature. Climate change has had serious impacts on our world, including rising sea levels, extreme weather, and severe heat. Yet its effects on our brains constitute a public-health crisis that has gone largely unreported. In his book, Aldern synthesizes emerging neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics of global warming and brain health. Clayton Aldern is a neuroscientist turned environmental journalist whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Guardian, The New Republic, Mother Jones, Vox, Newsweek, The Economist, Scientific American, and Grist, where he is a senior data reporter.
