A good day at the SuperGen Network Risk and Resilience Day. Managed to wear both hats today for once, talking about last years RMetS State Of The Climate for Energy Sector report, and my University of Edinburgh and NGET work on heat extreme impacts!

A fun evening at the @carbonbrief.org quiz for team @rmets.org - glad to see us avoiding shame with a solid midfield finish (along with beating various ex-colleagues in rival teams as well!) - Congrats and thanks to all for the entertainment!

The first RMetS Energy Insight online event is this afternoon at 2pm, with 4 talks about the methods we can use to determine the resilience of a future grid and a Q&A after. Feel free to share this amongst anyone who will find this interesting! To register sign up: www.rmets.org/event/lesson...

Speaking of increased posting of things I've done, as part of my new position, I've been one of the lead authors on the latest RMetS State of the Climate for the UK Energy Sector 2024/25, which was released last week! The summary and full report are now available here: www.rmets.org/publications...

It's been a while. I should do an update post: I've now taken a part-time Energy Engagement Fellow position with the @rmets.org alongside my University of Edinburgh research. So there may be some more promoting of events, work and reports in the future!!

Join us for the State of the Climate for the Energy Sector Report launch, 20 October, London. Produced by RMetS and supported by AECOM, the report offers evidence-based insight into how weather and #climate events are affecting the UK’s #energy system. Register here: www.rmets.org/event/state-...

On the peak of the increasingly shortening time cycle of something frustrating happening in the world and thinking I should probably be more active on various social platforms, before forgetting they exist again...

Any day in which there is a new @gamechangershow.bsky.social to watch is a good day (yes, I'm 3 days late, but it's been a busy week). It may be because it's one of the few things more chaotic than reality at the moment, and for some reason, that's comforting.

Am I the only one that cannot find the Google calendar app on their phone at the start of every month because my brain has spent the last 18-21 days being used to the logo having two numbers, and when it changes to one it becomes completely invisible to me?

Another partial solar eclipse, another cloudy day. Given my luck with them, I'd advise never going on a trip to see a full one with me. Hope it's slightly better for everyone else

Officially migrated across (suitably late!) Interesting start, I wonder how BlueSky knew about my nickname as "The Bollard" (AKA The immovable object in defence) from my PhD 5-a-side days when it started recommending accounts to follow...
