Want to speed up scientific progress? First understand how science policy works

Good piece in @nature

TL;DR:

1. Spend time working in government to understand how policy works
2. Look for ways to collaborate with think tanks (or in my experience, policy units in govt/NGOs)
3.Work to change academic norms to value use-inspired research (which to some extent is the reason I've been blogging about #ClimateServices this summer)

Musings from a hot summer: what can 2023 teach us about adaptation to #ClimateChange ?

Featuring #AMOC , #heatwave, #Antarctic #SeaIce, #SeaLevelRise, #IPCC and #ClimateServices

Some thoughts as I prepare to get back to work from the #Summer2023 break.

Features input directly lifted from @sorenhave @ZLabe @micefearboggis @rahmstorf + @EleanorFrajka @OceanTerra + @BassisJeremy
+ probably others ...

This #ClimateCoffee will be ace. I share an office with Mark and he's a great speaker. The subject, how to convert #ClimateScience data to #ClimateInformation, is extremely important, embodying the challenges for the next phase of #ClimateChange adaptation as we start to provide #ClimateServices as well as #science

About time I did an#Introduction: Hello all! 👋
I'm a #climate scientist at the UK Met Office, based in south-west England.

I work on developing better + more usable seasonal forecast #ClimateServices, through better application of climate dynamics, statistics, and communication.

This has often been for #energy sectors in the UK, Europe and China. ⚡💡🌍🌏

I had a background in supercomputing astrophysics/cosmology 🌌✨ using Fortran 90+...

but nowadays I'm all on #python! 🐍👨‍💻📊📉📈

The (worldwide) status of #ClimateServices for the #EnergySector was also recently summarized in a report of the World Meteorological Organization (#WMO):

At today's DWD #ClimateConference (15. #Klimatagung), I spoke about the 'socio-economic relevance of #ClimateServices for the #EnergySector' and illustrated the topic using examples from DWD's work activities.

@BassisJeremy @hereidk incidentally do you know this paper?
I think we're getting better in providing #ClimateServices as a community but there's a long way to go yet..

"Climate services promise better decisions but mainly focus on better data"

@hansbrenna @AlaskaWx @hereidk there is a lot of work going on now in the #ClimateServices space about this. We have done a tonne of work with all sorts of different users and communities in Denmark in the building up of our #KlimaAtlas (#Danish #ClimateAtlas) it's been a very interesting but yes definitely iterative process!
