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

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.baleta(a)exeter.ac.uk.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Best wishes
Katie
