Visualising Climate 2026

"Visualising Climate is the first global conference on data visualisation for climate and environmental sciences. Bringing together scientists, artists, communicators, and journalists, this event will serve as a meeting point between data and storytelling, evidence and perception, art and science. Over three days of talks, workshops, and informal conversations, participants will delve into how data can be visualised to inform, engage, inspire action, and influence policy. This summit is a space to share tools, techniques, and case studies that push the boundaries of visual narratives, foster interdisciplinary collaboration and co-creation, and empower change through data visualisation."
  • Where: Bologna, Italy

Field Sources: An Environmental Source Desk

"Environmental stories are undercovered in part because the experts are hard to find. Naturalists, science communicators, curriculum designers, field educators, and community-based practitioners are doing work that is directly relevant to the stories journalists are pursuing — but they don’t appear in the usual source databases, and they usually don’t have communication specialists on staff. Field Sources is a personally-curated roster of environmental and sustainability practitioners who have agreed to be available to journalists on deadline." The service is for:
  • Journalists: You’re working on a story that touches environmental education, sustainability practice, informal learning, or community-based science. You need a credible, responsive source — and you need them quickly. Field Sources is free for journalists. You bring the angle. I do the matching.
  • Practitioners: You have expertise that journalists need but can’t find. You’re willing to be interviewed, you can speak to a deadline, and you want your work to reach a wider audience. Inclusion in Field Sources is by invitation and application — not open enrollment.

Lights Out: Protecting Birds From Light Pollution

SciLine

"Every year, billions of birds fly across the U.S., but city lights are getting in the way. Artificial light is disorienting migrating birds, sending them off course and into deadly collisions with buildings. How many birds are affected by light pollution near you? How can communities protect thousands of birds from light pollution? Astronomer and light pollution expert Dr. James Lowenthal (Smith College) explains how artificial light threatens migrating birds, disrupts wildlife, and what simple steps your communities can take to fix it. TV bundle includes:
  • Soundbite (SOT)
  • VOSOT script (can be used as-is or modified)
  • Raw, full-length interview video & log with timecodes (upon request via form below)

STEM Ambassador Program Workshops

Association of Science Communicators

"Wondering how to make your public engagement more effective or engaging? Or maybe you're interested in getting started by aren't sure where to begin? Our upcoming workshops are designed for you. ASC, in partnership with the University of Utah's STEMAP program, is excited to offer two workshops focused on conducting public engagement grounded in social science research. The first session is geared for early-career professionals or those with little to no public engagement experience, while the second is tailored for more experienced science communicators. STEMAP brings a theoretical, evidence-based approach to SciComm that translates directly into practice–ideal for busy practitioners who want to apply research insights without having to dive into the full body of the literature."

Media Briefing: Data Center Planning — Municipal, Utility and Community Considerations

Accelerating demand for new data centers means many communities are being asked for the first time where and how to permit their construction. SciLine’s briefing covered considerations being weighed by state and local governments, utilities, and communities as part of the data center planning process. Experts discussed the local resource-use implications of data center energy demands; the types of infrastructure projects and upgrades that often accompany new data center facilities; and how large-scale data center projects can affect broader local sustainability goals. The briefing featured short conversations with three experts, followed by a moderated Q&A, all on the record. Includes a transcript.
