Our brains are wired for the familiar, but changing this wiring can transform your life. Neuroscientist Nicole Vignola explains how deeply rooted beliefs, often shaped by upbringing and natural biases like negativity and confirmation, can limit our potential and keep us trapped in old thought patterns.

However, our brains are capable of change at any age. By practicing metacognition—observing our thoughts—and challenging automatic beliefs, we can rewire our perceptions and create empowering new narratives. This approach helps us break free, fostering a mindset for human optimization, health, and peak performance. Read more from Nicole Vignola here.

On June 24, 2018, an interfaith gathering for Immigrant Justice protested President Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon. Participants prayed, sang, and read scripture, opposing the internment of 123 refugees and the separation of parents from their children.

Despite officials portraying objectors as "radicals," diverse Portlanders united, led by love, to condemn the policy as immoral and support detainees. Freedom for Immigrants (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/) offers data on detention, highlighting it as a major industry. This event was filmed by Ruth Ann Barrett.

Fast fashion significantly contributes to global carbon emissions and waste. Shifting to sustainable fashion demands systemic change, from how materials are sourced and produced to how we consume and value clothing.

UK designers and collectives are finding local solutions, putting communities at the heart of sustainable fashion efforts. Marking Fashion Revolution Week, Patrick Grant and Zero Waste Leeds join the RSA to discuss how caring for our clothes can benefit makers, wearers, and the environment. They will explore UK production's potential to boost local economies, create quality jobs, and produce durable clothing.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the authoritative source on climate change, responsible for effectively communicating vital information. Nearing the end of its Sixth Assessment Cycle, it's an important moment to reflect on past communication successes, challenges, and lessons learned for future reports.

International media and science communities are invited to mark the launch of a new Topical Collection (TC) in the journal *Climatic Change*. This TC focuses on Climate Change Communication and the IPCC, showcasing expert research and policy insights relevant to the IPCC's work.

A diverse panel of authors will present key findings from three TC papers on public understanding, engaging young people, and democratizing knowledge. IPCC Vice Chair Thelma Krug will offer critical reflections, followed by a Q&A session and a 'pitch contest' to conclude the event.
