Marilyn C | π¦ π± βοΈ πThis article on @TheConversationClimate is about how different climate messaging had different impacts with different people. There's a link to explore the data yourself, and you can filter by country, age, education and more. Some of the sample sizes for a filtered demo end up fairly small, but it's really interesting to explore nonetheless, especially if you're planning environmental programming or communications.

Essi Aarnio-LinnanvuoriToday's program: some citizen science with scouts. We measured water temperature and Secchi depth and search for small (meso) litter in the sand. Such enthusiastic 10-12 years old researchers! #partioscout #scouts #citizenscience #enviroed #environmentaleducation
Our staff have been hard at "work" testing out board games with ecological concepts and issues built into the game play (later this week we'll be holding our first little trial event for students to come join us). The co-operative game "Endangered" was a big hit, bringing to together office staff, comms staff, and grounds crew to save tigers from extinction!

Ep 66 - Bogs and moss
Conversation with Joshua Styles from British Botany and the Northwest Rare Plants Initiative. We talk about bogs, their importance for carbon storage, and about some of the amazing plants that live in these harsh habitats. Full notes at KnowingNature.cc
My first ever international key note speech will be tomorrow morning at 4.20 Finnish time / 11.20 Korean time! I will be talking online, and the actual speech is recorded - but I will be waking up and join the live conversation at 4.45. I do not expect any friends or colleagues in Finland to watch, but if someone closer to Korean time zone is interested, please feel free to watch the YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/kElEYlBIKrE?feature=share There are many other interesting presentations in the program as well.
P.S. I did not claim to be a professor - on the contrary, I quite clearly wrote on my bio that I am a university lecturer. π
