Die Freiheitsstatue umhüllt von Rauch aus den Bränden in Kanada. Was für ein Symbolbild für die Klimakrise.

Das Erdklima bewegt sich gerade in einer Freakzone extrem unwahrscheinlicher Ereignisse. Das bekommen zu wenige mit, deswegen kommen hier all die krassen Klima-Charts, die ihr sehen solltet 🧵

In this study, AI was more accurate than two thirds of radiologists, yet when radiologists had AI help their diagnoses did not improve. Why? Humans ignored the AI’s advice when it conflicted with their views. A big barrier to future human-AI collaboration blueprintcdn.com/wp-content/upl…

Summer has arrived in Europe & with that many people start thinking about what book will be the ultimate #BeachRead? Well EGU Science for Policy Manager Chloe Hill @chloehill.bsky.social has you covered with her list of the best #SciPol books to read this summer! Read her top picks: egu.eu/9E4SHO/

I'm tired of the lazy reporting on loneliness: "We have a loneliness epidemic, it's making ppl miserable & killing them. Probably due to social media, phones, suburban life, or smthg. Let's go back to meeting in real life!" No! Yes, we do spend more time alone:

We have a new commentary in Behav. Brain. Sci. explaining how individual-level solutions may support system-level change if they are internalized as part of one's social identity cambridge.org/core/journals/… We agree that system-level change is crucial for solving society's most pressing

🎯 Call for all scientists and practitioners working on democracy! We want to hear from you on what we can do better in the EU. Apply to our call and work together with us to design a future-proof democracy.

People express hatred because it is connected to their sense of morality. Hate isn't the lack of morality, but the inclusion of it. We found this pattern in several lab studies and a content analysis of hate groups onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Happening now, science for policy conference discussing how to increase science uptake in politics but also more policy relevant science. dgrtd.blumm.it/s4p-conference. #Science4Policy #SFPIE2023 #ScienceAdvice

Science - by definition - cannot answer a political question. It can only provide evidence to help define the policy problem and costs & benefits of policy options. Interesting discussions on the limits of science in the policy process here 👇 …for-policy-europe-conference.blumm.it/s4p-conference

Understanding citizens' values through #MachineLearning 70+ researchers are joining forces to bridge the gap between citizens' values and political aspirations. Learn more about the project: knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu/projects-activ… #Science4Policy

Proud to be leading this initiative. Policymaking needs to improve it's understanding of what citizens want. We try to help using #science and #AI
