Dad sent me this picture. It’s 1 of 5760 saplings he just planted in our family forest in Finland. He’s 71. He said they’ll make a good #carbonsink. 🌲🌲🌲

Thanks for the opportunity to present, it was such a great event!
Research needs to be accessible to have impact, and while difficult and slow, you need to record and measure impact as well. Valuable advice for #postdocs from @martiskainen of @EDRC_UK at the “Influencing Policy as Researchers” event.

The #NHS review makes a clear link between poor quality homes & health outcomes. Making homes more comfortable with better #energyefficiency and ventilation can also help reduce #energybills. Investment in home improvements = better quality of life. https://t.co/Nlsbqv9By5

We need to improve homes by developing long-term programmes that target help to people who live in #fuelpoverty, also looking at energy market reforms.

"Energy prices remain about £700 above pre-pandemic levels – and are rising this winter – this poses a serious challenge. But the cheapest energy of all is the energy never used because a house retains its heat and stays warm in winter."

This is dire news as we head towards colder months. New govt report shows #fuelpoverty has not fallen 'to any meaningful extent' in 5 years
gov.uk
Fuel poverty has flatlined says the Committee on Fuel Poverty - current policies to reduce fuel poverty have not continued a downward trajectory in fuel poor households.
