The observant may have noticed I haven’t blogged for quite a while, nearly a year in fact.
This is for a number of reasons (a prime one here) but I have been microblogging, ok, just chatting on twitter, and exploring and commenting at, other blogs on the web.
So I’m only back for a brief announcement that I’m appearing at an Open University Workshop on Wednesday 12th February, details below.
Mediating Change workshop
An Inconvenient Tweet: How social media is transforming the communication of, and engagement with, climate change
The next Mediating Change workshop explores how social and other online media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and blogging have altered the landscape of communication and engagement around climate change science and policy in recent years.
The workshop will feature:
