I am very sympathetic at minimizing costs on well being. I don't have nearly as many travel opportunities as you do, but with special needs in my family each and every travel bears a big cost.

But regarding the carbon footprint I am skeptical. The US need high speed electric train and a renewable energy mix to truly make an impact on climate change (amongst other solutions). Traveling habits of scientists don't matter in the big picture I am afraid.

From Minerva’s class experiences, maybe asking small interactive questions, making small polls, or even making jokes during the talk are good ways to increase engagement, ‘active learning’; sometimes wonder why talks have to be long and lecturing
-
yes! though jokes can be dangerous - I find that the only safe jokes are ones that are at my own expense.

Great stuff Russ. Will add to http://flyinglessresourceguide.info/ Any suggestions on slide sharing while presenting digitally?
-
screen sharing with zoom has always worked well for me. in some cases I have put my slides up on figshare before the talk and given the link so people can download and see them during the talk

But when we do seminar visits, it's not just a seminar. It's one on one conversations and meals (and drinks) with scholars, often those of a different cohort you haven't met before.
-
yep, that is hard to duplicate (especially the drinks!). But I have found one-on-one virtual meetings to be surprisingly good

Absolutely agreed on the motivations, very good advice. Will try to keep that in mind, but.. .. There is still a long way to go. If you haven't made a public announcement to stop flying but rather quietly reduce, answers from organizers are often unenthusiastic. Needs to change
-
yep - even I occasionally get requests to speak, write back pointing out my commitment and offering to speak virtually, and then get no response at all.
