In #Sustainability and #heatpump stories. 2.5yrs ago I bought a tumble dryer with a heat pump. Today the engineer informed us it was completely broken and a new heat pump would be £300 more than the dryer cost. We haven’t made our money back on this. I feel cheated.

I feel like every day now, I read/hear something saying "We don't talk about what's POSITIVE about masculinity; what's GOOD about men and boys." So: what IS the best stuff about boys, and men? Honest, celebratory question.

My eldest son just bought his first pair of DMs and when I laced them for him, I was informed that my lacing was a bit centre left. How you lace your DMs determines your political leaning? This led to a discussion about cargo and corduroy trousers. #holidaychat

Minding my own business at WGC station waiting to come into London when this absolute beauty came past. What a privilege. #sirnigelgresley #steamlocomotive

Off to York with Sir Nigel Gresley today. Lovely to travel behind an ‘A4’ on its stamping ground again. This is also the first time a ‘Streak’ has been at KGX since September 2018.

I’m with Hannah on this. Even if you don’t like the idea of climate change (who does) we have polluted every waterway, our air kills people early, wildlife is being lost at a terrifying rate, our soils are being sterilised and our forests disappearing. We need less of this.

As a scientist, and as a citizen, I am almost at a loss. This is not just another news story.

This year I have been bagging trig points with my Welsh Sheepdog Morys in memory of my Dad who died in 2019. We’ve done 52. Anyway today, on a bit of a busman’s holiday I took him to look at #porttalbotsteelworks he wasn’t sure about the whole thing. #EnergyTransition #fuelswitch

Very good event with great examples of the variety of routes into engineering. Nice to see a good gender balance in the audience too

A morning panel @UKHouseofLords for #NationalEngineeringDay with @RAEngNews was a lot of fun discussing energy and access to engineering. Followed by an afternoon in @IMechE, both allowed me the opportunity to catch up past team members. Manager for life!

Word of the day is 'blutterbunged' (19th century dialect): dumbfounded, confounded, and open-mouthed in amazement. (Not to be confused with 'dumfungled': utterly exhausted.)

‘The UK is the most wildlife-depleted country of the G7 nations. Solving our biodiversity crisis requires a more holistic approach beyond merely protecting a few endangered species.’ How forensic newt-hunters are leading the battle for #biodiversity thetimes.co.uk/article/cb414…

Fascinating couple of days away with @InfraCommCymru exploring the role of natural upland peat bog restoration for water, methane and carbon storage as well as management of flood defences and forestry in North Wales. #climatechange #flooding #naturebasedsolutions
