Very pleased to have contributed to the Humid-Heat Extremes Over Land section of the #StateofClimate2023 report!
"2023 emerged as a record-breaking year by a considerable margin for humid heat over global land, based on daily maximum wet-bulb temperatures".
@cabotinstitute
2023 was a year of new climate records according to the #StateofClimate2023 report co-ordinated by @NOAA

Well done Léo who led the data analysis in this lovely piece of work with UKCORI, looking to understand changes in research integrity in the UK and more widely.
Recently, Léo Gorman @_leo_gorman, James Thomas @JamesDoesData, and Dan Lawson from the JGI worked with UKCORI to analyse the Retraction Watch Database, to shed light on recent trends in academic retractions.

One of my favourite projects to work on and a great example of collaboration at its best.
DataFace has come so far in such a short time. It's been a pleasure for the JGI to work with @cheltfestivals, @scooksley, Karen Morris & CyberFirst developing resources for young people & their teachers + great to see this year's entries in-person at Cheltenham Science Festival!
