Thursday’s monthly Green Drinks
We have tried Green Drinks over several months now and have had generally quite low attendance. So it is with regret we will not continue the event.
Note – We had a brilliant talk in June by Nick Bromley on the Future of local transport services – attended by two of us. He has agreed to do a full presentation in the New Year.

All you need to do is find one climate change -related improvement to make to a Wikipedia article and email t.baleta@exeter.ac.uk of your proposed change using this template:

Over the course of 2024 a series of Wikipedia “editathons” will be hosted by the GSI, as part of the institute’s partnership with Wikimedia UK to mobilise research onto Wikipedia, filling knowledge gaps and combating climate misinformation in the process. Join other students and researchers at an editathon to learn how to edit Wikipedia and improve open source climate change knowledge. No Wikipedia experience required! Previous editathon attendees welcome. For questions and more information about the project, contact Tatjana Baleta at t.baleta@exeter.ac.uk
See 100 Days 100 Edits for more information, or email t.baleta@exeter.ac.uk
