Excited to be at another Oxford energy day on the timely theme of energy and data!

Tired of manually listing your co-authored papers for funding apps or internal admin? I built a semi-automated workflow using Scopus + BibTeX + LaTeX to generate a clean, numbered PDF. Try it here 👉 github.com/davidhowey/l...

Do you have a Hyundai Ioniq (2016-21)? I've got roof bars available to give away (collect from Oxford, UK) - perhaps for a small charity donation. YKS6 Yakima flush bars S6, 100cm x2, with YKK1144 smartfoot fitting kits. message me if interested.

wow, what a talent Charlie Chaplin was

Exactly as I said after the blackout: voltage regulation was issue, not a lack of spinning inertia, as so many quickly speculated (or asserted). It was an off peak spring day, plenty of cheap solar available, and the grid operator cut it too close, failed to commit sufficient voltage regulation.🔌💡

gosh, Andor is just some of the best TV I've seen in ages - visually spectacular, incredible characters, riveting dialogue, complex and emotional story.

NEW SHIFT KEY WHAT SPAIN’S BLACKOUT TELLS US ABOUT THE MODERN POWER GRID This is a *master class* from my cohost @jessedjenkins.com on how the lights stay on — and how operators manage supply, demand, voltage, and frequency to keep the world’s biggest machine humming. heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

We must stop focusing hydrogen research and investment into dead-ends. EVs out-sell fuel cell cars 1000:1. Find out what's hot and what's not as the famous @mliebreich.bsky.social Hydrogen Ladder enters the peer-reviewed literature. New paper in Nature Reviews: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

this is excellent news for Oxford - congrats @janrosenow.bsky.social

This (and getting solar panels, and a general desire to move towards not having any gas at all) is why we ripped out the gas hob and switched to induction. Induction is so, so much better (and easier to clean).

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

It's the weekend... time to make bagels!

I'm in Cambridge (UK) today and tomorrow. Shout if you want to meet up!

I've (finally) signed up for the PyBaMM conference www.pybmc.com which should be great fun. Are you coming?

Ginormous funding proposal submitted. I'm so tired of looking at a computer screen and using words like "significantly", "breakthrough", "unique" and "fundamental". Time for a beer... happy weekend y'all!

What a joy it was to visit my alma mater last week, beautiful Queens' College in Cambridge, and to be so warmly welcomed by the excellent @davidcebon.bsky.social (who *cough* taught me as an undergrad 😀). Looking forward to the next trip!

Massive away win for the little fella.

Friends, what's the latest projections for global lithium demand over the next 15 years? anyone got reliable thoughts on this? thanks #battchat :)

hallo bluesky! I've had this account for a while but been fairly dormant. Great to see so many friends and colleagues on here now. I'll try and hang out here a bit more often, and spout random thoughts about clean energy, music, running, etc. etc.
