Hi there! It’s been a loooong time, huh? Lot’s has happened since my last issue: I got fully vaccinated (yay!), I moved to my new home (YAY!)… and at my dayjob we released a huge project: the Interactive Atlas of the IPCC. It was three years of hard technical work by my colleagues, and involved over 100 people in the IPCC Atlas team. If you’re curious, you can read about how to use this portal to future climates at vox.com. Or you can reply to this e-mail and I’ll be glad to answer your questions 😁
It’s been a blast, but now that everything is more or less back to normal, I have time to send you some offers. And some music too: here’s canción de muerte y salvación by Zahara. She’s one of my favourite artists and recently a far-right party in Spain tried to censor her. So there’s that. As always, enjoy the job offers.
