Need an overview of how #AI, #ML & #NLP can help in reviews and evidence synthesis? Check out our environmentally-focused review on the use of these tools for evidence synthesis in conservation. Led by guru @harpactes.bsky.social with a team that's been wrangling literature for decades

The impacts of natural climate solutions: we analyzed millions of scientific studies for a comprehensive analysis of *what* evidence exists for NCS and impacts to people and nature. New work out in @naturesustain.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s418... #ncs #naturebasedsolutions 🧪 #NLP #ConservationAI
Evidence map for natural climate solutions and co-impacts to people and nature, ranging from more to less evidence with growth rates shown over each square.

This week @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social, we began our last “Environment and Society” class with Wendell Berry. After, a student told me, ”I didn’t know I needed that.” Leaving this here in case you might need it, too.
