Pedro Pascal as IPCC assessment reports and iconic figures: a thread

On Monday, I shared an essay about climate and biodiversity for Scientific American on six different social media platforms & tracked proportional engagement (likes+shares+comments/followers). The winner? MASTODON. Second place? INSTAGRAM. Last? FACEBOOK. See below for more.

The intro to the special issue: 👉Detecting and attributing the causes of #biodiversity change: needs, gaps, and solutions #OpenAccess royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… We summarize the fantastic set of contributing papers Royal Society Publishing Eden Tekwa Mary O'Connor @ZurellLab

Just published in Conservation Biology We ask how the new 1st US Natl Nature Assessment can become not only an information resource but also a vehicle for broader engagement of researchers, practitioners, and society with strategies for reversing biodiversity loss doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

Releasing a new Google #EarthEngine workshop titled "Creating Publication Quality Charts with GEE" with completely open materials and code. A structured guide to help you create beautiful and informative visualizations from climate and earth observation datasets. A thread (1/n)👇

This week I gave a presentation about flying and offsetting in academia for the Climate Action Research Institute Swansea University. Here's a short 🧵 of the main points...

Our new #openaccess paper in Conservation Biology draws lessons from the UN Biodiversity CBD COP15 on how to make scientific engagement in policy processes more effective, but it's also timely to the ongoing UN Climate Change climate #cop28 conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

To be a good geospatial data scientist, you need good tools. My tool of choice is R. Here are the packages I can't live without: #rstats

Global trends and scenarios for terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services from 1900 to 2050. Our paper Science Magazine shows declines in biodiversity and regulating services driven by land-use can be slowed but climate impacts are accelerating #1/ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Wow... this Atlas of Climate Change really is FANTASTIC! An EXCELLENT resource for teaching about climate change. Beautiful clear visuals. Thanks Glen Peters for the recommendation. Link: factsonclimate.org/atlas
