Ella’s first ever trip to a fashion show and the simplicity of Ed Hawkins’ climate stripes
Katharine Hayhoe’s new book Saving Us and climate optimism vs. climate pragmatism
Dan and Ella’s thoughts on Twitter and how they approach receiving negative comments there
Ella’s YouTube videos about responding to climate deniers
The need for physical understanding when applying statistical techniques to environmental datasets
Dan’s new review paper on machine learning and oceanography, led by Maike Sonnewald, in Environmental Research Letters
A recent climate education summit organised by the University of Reading, and chaired by Ella.
