Hi all I'm delighted to share with you all that we have recently hired our first-ever residency for climate. Tatjana Baleta has been recruited as Wikimedia Visiting Fellow at the University of Exeter, within the Global Systems Institute (GSI) academic community. Tatjana will work alongside several world-leading climate scientists, including those at the UK Met Office with whom the GSI has a strategic partnership. She will also be amongst researchers from other disciplines who are looking into climate impacts, climate justice, biodiversity and energy.
There's an announcement blog <https://wikimedia.org.uk/2022/10/new-partnership-delivers-wikimedia-uks-first-ever-residency-for-climate/> with more details, including a quote from Femke Nijsse who was essential in helping us form this partnership. There's also a blog <https://wikimedia.org.uk/2022/10/welcome-tatjana-baleta-wikimedia-visiting-fellow-for-climate/> written by Tatjana about her background in climate communications and conservation. It's very exciting to have a dedicated staff member for our newest strategic pillar, and I'm sure you'll all join us in welcoming her. Tatjana has joined this mailing list, but if you'd like to get in touch with her directly please use t.bal...@exeter.ac.uk. Let us know if you have any questions.
