Nexus Notes - Mismatched media on biodiversity and climate change, protected areas and more

It's Nexus Notes time!

Welcome to Nexus Notes. A bonus feature for paid subscribers every Monday (NZ time). These are quick thoughts from me designed to share things I’ve been up to, been reading or just any other random stuff I’ve come across I think you may enjoy for the week.

Where’s this? Hint: it’s a place where a famous ecologist spent a lot of time manipulating things. Scroll to the bottom to find out.

Hi folks!

It’s been a busy week here. I’m in the post-teaching catch-up period, trying to get on top of a bunch of overdue tasks, particularly some exciting student- and postdoc-led manuscripts we have on the go. Anyway, I hope you find something interesting in this week’s action-packed Nexus Notes!

Figure of the week

Copied from the paper: The top panel (A) illustrates the total number of media stories in the Media Cloud database for COP27 (blue line), COP15 (green line), and Taylor Swift (red line). The bottom panel (B) shows the total number of internet search trends worldwide for each of the three terms during the same period, according to Google Trends.
