Deputy Director AI Policy Analysis @SciTechgovuk. Views my own.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion.

I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

Today’s challenge: a hands on innovation session with Govt Office for Science & x-govt colleagues on future of the subsurface, exploring issues like water management & geothermal energy. Our stellar multidisciplinary Lab team includes @aemathers2 @CelynBricker @SGRBennett

🗣️"We knew that a project so heavily focused on society would only be strengthened by having a public dialogue as part of it."

NEW: commissioners of a Sciencewise supported Net Zero Society public dialogue share reflections from the process on our blog👇

We've just published a new Foresight report - Wireless 2030 - a set of scenarios to help policymakers develop resilient policies and strategies for wireless connectivity. Hopefully this is of use if you're working on wireless infrastructure or wireless-enabled public services

[Government Office for Science @uksciencechief]

Today we published the Wireless 2030 report which looks at how public service demand for wireless could change in the future. You can read it here ➡️ https://t.co/irHzqBBgCv

@iwengraf @vonredbeard Have you tried the TAG data book?

[Jack Snape @jackasnape]

@iwengraf @DrGregMarsden @DrMalcolmMorgan @jillian_anable Pretty sure you’ll find scenarios for this in the CCCs 6th carbon budget data publication (there are also assumptions in TAG but they might just be based on current policies rather than net zero consistent). https://t.co/SfavapGIkk

Systems thinking approaches allow us to understand complex problems and create better solutions. Check out new work by the Government Office for Science which will help civil servants use systems thinking more 👉 https://t.co/wUi484IVb5

We'll be exploring this issue in our Net Zero Society project - https://t.co/HNHmV95Y9e

[Jack Snape @jackasnape]

Interesting new report from @CREDS_UK on the impact of home-working on travel demand - headline is it doesn't always reduce demand. Also, a new term for me 'tele-sprawl' - a risk to future emissions & energy demand:

@ae_baldwin Congratulations! Let me know if you want to chat about our Foresight project on long term resilience

@GlennLyons2 Did you hear the men's business suit has just been removed from the ONS inflation basket of goods?

[Jack Snape @jackasnape]

Looking for micro-mobility demand scenarios for 2030 (ideally for UK). Obviously very speculative, but any analysis of potential market size with a logical methodology would be a good starting point! @asymco @azeem Any suggestions?
