Flowchart für einen Weg durch unser Klima-Dilemma

Nach Mitarbeit an #AlanMoore|s »#Jerusalem« für den #CarcosaVerlag mach ich weiter mit Übersetzung der #BetterCatastrophe Flowchart von #AndrewBoyd für #KlimaEndspiel-Projekt vom Leibniz Institut, bzw. Institut für Meteorologie und Klimatologie Hochschule Hannover -> https://endspiel.website.
Höre gerade zum 1 x, wie ein professioneller Sprechhandwerker mit meiner Arbeit zurechtkommt.

Würde ja durchaus gern ganzes #BessereKatastrophe-Buch machen.

Thank you for the kind words! All praise to @jona, who created the interactive flowchart during his student research in the @uclab_potsdam, and to #AndrewBoyd, who wrote the #BetterCatastrophe book and reached out to us in the first place. We now have a joint paper under review for @jovi – so stay tuned.

In the meantime, you might also like the flowcharts by our students using the #InteractiveFlowchart:

Project Course · Interactive Flowchart · Fall 2023 · FH Potsdam

Results from a one-week block course devoted to the creation of interactive flowcharts. Students were tasked with creating and illustrating a flowchart about a dilemma of their choice, narrating a path through the chart using an audio recording, and making their creations interactive using a provided template.

A flowchart for navigating our climate predicament

Last week @jona Pomerance presented the interactive and narrated #BetterCatastrophe flowchart at #infoplus2023 in Edinburgh. For this occasion we also released Interactive Flowchart as a free reusable template with detailed explanations of its structure, a visual step-by-step tutorial, and 12 student examples covering a range of well-known personal dilemmas.

Schräg: #AndrewBoyd hat sein »I Want a #BetterCatastrophe« (2023) dieses Jahr auch an der FH Potsdam vorgestellt, die mittlerweile auch die wunderbare Flowchart technisch aufgepimpt haben. ABER es gibt derweil noch keine deutsche Version (außer von mir privat auf Anfrage) oder Aussicht auf Übersetzung des Buches.
»A flowchart for navigating our climate predicament« gibts nun also als ganzes, zum Entdecken oder mit geführter Audio-Erzählung.
