🎉 New paper! This work has lived as a cool interactive @carbonbrief.org piece here: interactive.carbonbrief.org/how-uk-newsp... since 2021, but is now *finally* also a published academic journal article in Public Understanding of Science: doi.org/10.1177/0963...

Check out @jonathan-growcott.bsky.social's new paper!

It's always exciting to see what others in my PhD cohort are up to - ours is an interdisciplinary program so there's such a range of research going on.

I'm no expert on ecology, but these Loud Leopards seem pretty cool🐆📢

Our updated editorials analysis for 2024...

🚨 Record levels of opposition to climate action in 2024 UK editorials

🚨 This is the third year in a row that opposition levels have increased

Always a pleasure to work with the amazing @carbonbrief.org and @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social on this analysis!

Excited to learn that our poster was chosen as runner up for the poster prize 🥳 Thanks to everyone who voted on our two provocations and to the #AI4NZ conference organisers!

This is absolutely fascinating from the brilliant @profgillian.bsky.social and couldn't come at a better time as myself and @veronicaawhite.bsky.social are having many conversations with AI experts on Gen-AI imagery in a climate/journalism context

🎤 Great to present our paper "How does Gen-AI see Climate Change?" at the first ever AI for Net Zero Conference on behalf of the great author team!

💡 We were excited to bring some social science to the discussion & have already had great conversations
