Honestly that's all people want. Health care without worrying about the cost. Low bills (why electricity is still tied to gas prices I don't know!) Good public services (transport, recreation, community spaces)

Interesting new analysis by the UK Energy Research Centre, which suggests that most of the increase in electricity bills since 2021 is still because of gas. Nice wrote up by @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org www.carbonbrief.org/expensive-ga...

The energy transition will only succeed if it works for everyone. New blog by Vicki Sperrey, Nick Eyre, Uttara Narayan & Sarah Higginson explores how UK energy systems can disadvantage racialised communities and why everyday energy use matters for justice and net zero. www.edrc.ac.uk/news-blog/wh...

So... I've created a starter pack of UK government organisations currently on Bluesky: go.bsky.app/JHsY1Wz (Currently includes all those listed under ministerial and non-ministerial departments here www.gov.uk/government/o... - let me know any I've missed, or got wrong)

I’m thrilled to share a blog I co-authored for #WDPD2025: “Why Preserve? The UKERC Energy Data Centre Team Contemplates…” We each tackled the big question "why preserve digital energy data?" from our own perspectives. www.dpconline.org/blog/wdpd/bl... #DigitalPreservation #OpenScience #UKEDC

Yesterday was World Preservation Day! To mark the day, the Energy Data Centre team all answered the question: "Why Preserve?" Read their responses in our latest blog. ukerc.ac.uk/news/why-pre...

A big thank you to everyone for making our very first event such a smashing success! As the current landscape of Data Stewardship in the UK continues to evolve, we hope to be continue being a support system for the Data Stewards community. Until next time! 🚀

The Energy Data Centre has been running for 20 years, watch below as I talk about building a FAIR enabled API for the service and taking the next steps in helping the world of energy research #EDC #UKERC #stfc #energy #technology #API #FAIR www.technology.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/Highli...

FAIR-IF in a nutshell: In #OSTrails, we’re working closely with the EOSC FAIR Metrics Task Forces to make FAIR assessment seamless and scalable: The ultimate goal? A powerful FAIR-IF engine driving assessments, invisible to researchers, but essential for FAIR outcomes.

@manutdwomen.bsky.social must be time to get verified status on bluesky now it's available. (and get the men on here too please 😁)

@flashes.blue hello everyone, how is it going over at flashes? Your feed has been quiet for a few weeks now, how is the android app coming along, do you have any updates to share?

💾 UK energy researchers are working to improve how data is shared, stored & used. At the latest Cross-consortium Engagement Meeting, 20 research centres from the UK discussed challenges & next steps toward better, more open data management. Read the blog: tinyurl.com/4b6hbu9k @ukerc.bsky.social
