Further to my tweet about the PhD opportunity - it isn't as obvious from the advert, but the funding unfortunately isn't guaranteed as the project goes through a competitive process for funding following applicant selection.

celebrated my phd graduation a few weeks ago! pictured here using my degree certificate to hide my pregnancy! while I’m overjoyed, it’s also been bittersweet for a reason many people (esp. British academics) would do well to care more about:

Great article by my colleague @jess_few on the bill savings and #energysavings from adjusting the thermostat temperature in your home @EnergyDemand @energysaverstew @SaveEnergy_EU @YES_SaveEnergy @beisgovuk @SmartEnergyGB

📢Just published in @ConversationUK 📢 My article on how much 💰 is saved by homes with 1C lower thermostat temperatures 🌡️? 🔗theconversation.com/energy-b… @SERL_UK @UCL_Energy

Energy bills: how much money does turning down the thermostat actually save?

Massive 13,000-home project investigates how much energy is typically used at different temperatures.

Staggering new chart from the IMF. We all know that increasing energy costs hit low income households hardest, but in the UK that impact will be the second biggest in the world, and the differential with the best off will also be the biggest. What is the gov’t going to do?

What is causing the energy crisis? Why can’t the government just make it go away? It’s complicated, so let me try and explain. Including what the government should do, could do and can’t do. 🧵
