Ever worked on an interdisciplinary science project and felt like you spent all your time talking (past each other)? Sinnika Lennartz shares her top five ways to improve interdisciplinary communication skills in academia in our latest blog post. Read more here 👉️ blogs.egu.eu/divisions/bg...

Five ways to improve your interdisciplinary communication skills

Oh, but you should know that… It is a short sentence, often spoken with good intentions. Yet in interdisciplinary conversations, it can bring a discussion to a complete halt. The moment someone says,…

Too many of us repeat the statement that trust in science is falling. Is it really the case? The data don’t support this conclusion in a straight forward way. Science may have an influence & comms problem more than a trust problem, in fact… but it’s complex 👇🏻 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Have people stopped trusting science? The data tell a surprising story

Some say there’s a global crisis of trust — but research reveals where the real problems lie.

The Trump administration shuttered Climate . gov last year. Now, former NOAA scientists fired during the DOGE cuts have launched Climate . us - a new home for trusted climate science and public resources. Science persists. ✊ zurl.co/GdVMU

Ex-NOAA employees re-create a valuable climate data site shut down by Trump

Former NOAA staffers have launched a new website that provides climate information. It replaces a government site that was shut down when the Trump administration took office.

To see how important US science is, consider measurements of changes in ocean heat content. US data are ~53% of the total. Over half! But removing the US data is worse than randomly removing 80% of the total data, because unlike other countries, the US makes measurements everywhere. 🧪🌊

Critical dependence of global ocean heat monitoring on the ocean observing system - Nature Climate Change

International collaboration has facilitated a global ocean observing system, providing data to measure ocean heat content at a resolution that enables the tracking of climate change. This study looks ...

Europe’s bottom trawling industry brings in an estimated of €180 million annually, but a new study finds its climate impacts cost society up to 90 times more. Scraping the seafloor releases centuries of stored carbon, creating billions in economic damage to human health and agriculture.

European bottom trawling costs billions every year in climate impacts, study finds

Europe’s fishing industry makes around 180 million euros ($210 million) every year in profits from bottom trawling, which involves dragging heavy fishing gear along seabeds. But a new study found…
