The Initiative’s website has software in place to stop spam comments, but sometimes a genuine comment may be marked as spam by mistake (for example, if you have included multiple links in your comment). Please contact the Sustainable Conferencing Officer to have your comment approved.

Unfortunately not.

If you add a website address, after your comment is posted anyone clicking on your name will be directed to your website. This is a good way to provide an easy link to your blog or to your lab’s website.

If you would like to express your approval for a post or comment, you can give it a thumbs up using the symbols at the end of each post/comment.

Just follow the link at the bottom of our latest email.
