🌤️ Our #AI weather forecasting model has been published today in Nature 🤖

🥇the first AI weather model to learn directly from raw environmental observations

🌎 compared to existing AI models it is cheaper to train, uses less carbon and easier to deploy locally

What does Artifact Evaluation mean for the computational #climatescience community? The blog post below summarises a pioneering initiative that some of us in @climformatics.bsky.social embarked on to embed more #reproducibility and #fairsoftware in climate research.

Please share 🙏

Celebrating a fantastic year of @turingway.bsky.social!

Let me see if I can get a thread going from our #TuringWayCommunityForum event...

Starting with celebrating @arielleb.bsky.social being promoted to Senior Researcher at The Alan Turing Institute!

book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/co...
A slide with a picture of Arielle - a white woman with dark hair slicked back and red lipstick - and text on the left hand side. Text reads: Arielle appointed a Senior Researcher - Open Source Practices. Will be spending my time split between the Practitioner’s Hub delivery, JupyterHub EOSS work, and own work on open source practices. For day-to-day community not much will change! However look forward to being more visible and getting to know other aspects of community. There's a link on the slide which is also in the skeet.

New opinion piece from me on why we're failing on climate... too much compliance, not enough resistance. The AGU ought to be ashamed #AGU2024
