Presentation from Barnaby Smith, Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Media Relations Manager given at the British Ecological Society Citizen Science Special Interest Group meeting, July 2014
A presentation by Dr Gareth Old of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) on monitoring work at the CEH River Lambourn Observatory and research into chalk river systems.
The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has been measuring daily rainfall, sunshine and temperature at its Wallingford, Oxfordshire meteorological station since 1962. Observations are also made of cloud cover, present weather and visibility.
This presentation was made to members of the Royal Meteorological Society's Meteorological Observing Systems Special Interest Group on 25 July 2014. Read more on the CEH blog: http://cehsciencenews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/royal-meteorological-society-members-visit.html
This document provides tips for using social media and altmetrics to increase the impact and citation rate of scientific publications. It recommends (1) tweeting about papers within 3 days with relevant hashtags and links, (2) uploading outputs to repositories like Figshare and Slideshare to passively generate traffic, and (3) working with communications teams to promote outputs through blogs, media coverage, and social media. Monitoring tools like Impactstory and Google Scholar can track a publication's citations and discussions online over time.
Professor James Bullock of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology was one of the speakers at the 2015 Oxford Farming Conference, held at the Oxford University Examination Schools from 6-8 January.
- Climate change poses risks of catastrophic and uncertain impacts from rising carbon emissions. Estimating appropriate prices for carbon is challenging due to uncertainties but crucial for risk management.
- Standard utility models used in climate economics calibrate risk preferences too low, underestimating appropriate carbon prices. Higher societal risk aversion, as seen in equity markets, implies much higher carbon prices to account for hard-to-predict climate risks.
- Delaying reductions in emissions increases future mitigation costs and disaster risks. Higher carbon prices now can lower total costs by incentivizing early emissions cuts and new technologies.
1) The document discusses the benefits of including decision-makers in early project planning, highlighting the AMMA-2050 project which aims to improve understanding of how climate change will impact the West African monsoon and help societies adapt.
2) The FCFA programme will produce climate science focused on Africa to ensure it impacts human development on the continent. Pilot studies in Senegal and Burkina Faso engage decision-makers to support climate-resilient agriculture and urban planning.
3) Findings from scoping studies in Accra and Maputo show the need to consider non-climatic factors and interact with decision-makers to identify suitable adaptation strategies. Understanding viewpoints, legislation, and innovation is key to
Human activities like deforestation, overpopulation, waste production, pollution and overuse of natural resources are negatively impacting the environment. Key factors of environmental degradation include deforestation for fuel, livestock or commodities which removes forests; overpopulation exceeding the carrying capacity of regions; and waste such as household trash, hazardous, medical and industrial waste. Pollution from fossil fuel use and agriculture introduces harmful substances into the air, water and land. Energy production from sources like coal mining, oil drilling and reservoirs also damages the environment, as does over-extraction of natural resources through mining, fishing and logging without concern for conservation and sustainability.

This document appears to be an exam for a high school English proficiency test. It contains multiple choice questions and short answer questions testing reading comprehension and vocabulary related to topics including eating disorders, science and technology museums, and technological gadgets. The exam addresses various types of eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and their causes and effects. It also includes information about upcoming events at a science and technology museum and the work of the museum's curator to improve its financial situation and collection.
Media communication demands a more dynamic approach in a fast changing world of public and social media. Journalists, including those representing the quality media, are becoming more assertive in their approach. Deadlines are getting ever shorter while online-reporting and blogs are on the rise. News websites, radio and television have an immediate response in public interaction through social media, where the distinction between fact and opinion blurs easily. Interaction or the lack of a dialogue on social media on politically and socially sensitive issues can lead to reactions and positioning in the political arena. Issues can escalate very fast and very far.
So the questions arises: what would you do? And are you prepared?

This document discusses the benefits of children with special needs spending time with non-disabled children. It argues that special needs is a wide range that should not be a barrier to interaction. Both groups of children want friendship, respect, education and future opportunities. While children with special needs may take longer to complete tasks, they can still participate in the same activities with extra support. Bringing these groups together in school helps reduce isolation and uncertainty for parents of children with special needs.
The document discusses social media strategies for journalists and public service broadcasters. It outlines 10 uses of social media for journalism including breaking news, finding sources, distributing content, and continuing conversations. Social media allows for more interaction and transparency but journalists must balance personal and private accounts. Overall, social media is a tool that can maximize the impact of content when used strategically for different audiences. The future of media is increasingly online so journalists must embrace new tools and think of content distribution through new processes.
The UK Science Museum brought the controversial "Grossology" exhibit to educate the public about the human body using humor. Critics said it inappropriately "dumbed down" science. The museum launched a PR campaign using multiple channels to reach new audiences, generate positive media coverage, and increase attendance. They secured endorsements, hosted previews, created viral content, and doubled their attendance goals, demonstrating the campaign's success in engaging the public and refuting claims about dumbing down science.

John A. Pollock - How People Learn: Stories from Transmedia for STEM and Heal...SeriousGamesAssoc
Presenter: John A. Pollock, Partnership in Education, Duquesne University
This presentation will provide advice through examples of successful and not so successful interactive media projects. Our perspective is from an academic world, where evaluation and assessment are integrated into the entire logic model of development and workflow. Out goal is to produce innovative and engaging resources that enrich STEM and health literacy. While our target audience are late elementary through middle-school tweens, projects are developed with a general public audience in mind. Many projects have benefited from development carried out in concert with co-development of exhibits for local science museums, which then transition to schools and general public use. The materials produced have included animated digital dome, group interactive media, single-player video games, Apps, and interactive museum exhibits, tangible exhibits, comic books and broadcast television. Published studies on statistically significant learning will be discussed along with the imperative undercurrent of the need for the gaming experience to be fun.
Climate Change in the Media: Where have we been and where are we headed?Mike Schäfer
This document summarizes research on climate change communication in the media. It discusses that the research field has expanded over time and diversified to analyze different countries, media types, and issues. However, television remains understudied. Past research found that media coverage of climate change has increased globally and is triggered more by political events than climate/weather events. Coverage has also shifted from a focus on science to more societal and policy issues over time. However, differences remain between countries in topics like the portrayal of skepticism. Future research opportunities include further examining newer media, entertainment coverage, visuals, audience reception, and conducting more international comparative analyses.
This document provides an outline for a presentation on science and technology communication by Gensei Ishimura. It introduces Ishimura and his background working in science communication. It then discusses the definition and importance of science and technology communication, providing examples of practices at CoSTEP including science cafes and consensus conferences. It also outlines CoSTEP's education program for training science communicators, which aims to provide students with practical experience alongside theoretical knowledge through a curriculum integrating education, practice, and conceptualization.

This document discusses effective strategies for communicating wildlife conservation information to the public. It emphasizes that communication is an important conservation tool for raising awareness, educating people, and influencing decision-makers. It outlines various online and offline channels for sharing information, such as websites, social media, publications, events, and interpretation centers. Key recommendations include keeping messages simple, using visual aids, and showing real examples to engage people. Citizen science programs and nature education are highlighted as ways to involve the public and increase understanding of environmental issues.
The document summarizes the National Honey Monitoring Scheme (NHMS) run by CEH to monitor changes in honeybee foraging and health over time using citizen science. In year one, 400 beekeepers participated by providing honey samples that were analyzed using DNA sequencing to identify pollen species. Results found the top pollen species included bramble, field mustard/oilseed rape/brassicas, and sweet chestnut. There was regional variation in pollen diversity and species surrounding hives. The NHMS aims to expand methods to better determine floral origin of honey and continues to rely on citizen scientist participation.

This document discusses a project that aims to advance the understanding of marine ecosystem values, particularly in response to management interventions in the Celtic Seas. It outlines that 40 stakeholders from the west coast of Scotland and southwest England were interviewed to understand their relationship with the marine environment and the values they associate with managing it, such as interdependence with nature and protecting habitats. The interviews found that stakeholders experience curiosity, excitement, and variety in the marine environment and gain knowledge and skills. The project will use scenarios to explore trade-offs between ecosystem services and human activities in spatial planning, including for marine protected areas.

The document discusses concerns about chemicals in the environment in the UK. It notes that more than 80,000 chemicals are used daily, many contaminate soils, rivers and wildlife, and some accumulate in humans and wildlife with adverse effects. The chemical market is also growing by around 2,000 new compounds per year. The UK is particularly vulnerable due to its high population density and limited water available to dilute waste. Historic chemicals like DDT and TBT caused significant environmental damage. Current challenges include endocrine disrupting chemicals, antibiotics in the environment, and mixtures of chemicals. Tighter regulations could significantly increase costs but are needed to protect the environment and human health.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. A brief history:
The Centre for Ecology &
Hydrology, the media and “citizen
science”
With lessons learnt on the way…
3. Springwatch 2005
People across the UK were
asked to record the arrival of
spring in their neighbourhood,
by noting arrival dates,
Bumblebees, Peacock
butterflies, the 7-spot ladybird
and the Swift.
The largest such one-off survey
in the world (at that time).
5. 2009 - Becoming famous (for 15 mins)
'Ladybird, ladybird:
Unravelling the story of
an alien invader'
Royal Society Summer
Science Exhibition 2009
Lots of Press coverage:
On the day most of the
press coverage occurred,
30 June, www.harlequin-
survey.org received over
5000 visitors, a 20-fold
increase from normal
visitor numbers.
6. Lessons learnt (1) – media engagement
• Take advantage of every opportunity (and
follow up)
• Reply immediately to journalists
• Don’t be scared of live TV and radio (although
being a little nervous helps!)
• Don’t take things personally (e.g. when
dropped/misquoted)
• Have a plan (even if you have to change it!)
11. Lessons learnt (2)
• Work out what success is (and stick to the
definition)
• Be proactive (but not pushy)
• Be flexible (but use your resources and time
wisely)
• Be creative (but recognise some things works
and some things don’t)
17. Lessons learnt (3)
• Think about your audience(s) - what do you
want to achieve
• Take care of your ‘citizens’ (it’s their time and
you should act responsibly)
• Remember the ‘human’ element (to engage
media and wider public)
• (most of…) the media will believe what you tell
them – so be careful how you use this power!
18. WHY BOTHER TO ENGAGE
WITH THE MEDIA?
BECAUSE IT’S A GREAT
WAY TO REACH OUT TO
CITIZEN SCIENTISTS
