Seems like scientific publications are now also participating in the β€œrace for breaking news.”

It’s WAY harder to produce quality stories and research when you’re forced to have a quick turnaround. Kudos to the scientists and journalists who are still doing remarkable things in these conditions.

(1/2) Our first Temperature Check survey was the first report of its kind that focused on trends in climate communication across various fields. We found most respondents (scientists, journalists, PR & corporate folks) thought climate comms’ biggest challenge is the complexity of the climate crisis.
