My best books of 23. The very readable Ravenous by @HenryDimbleby + the thought provoking Doughnut Economics by @KateRaworth. On which note, I'm logging off twitter. Find me at @mastodon.london (if I ever manage to figure it out) or LinkedIn (which I'm still trying to figure out)

@EstherPapies This looks super interesting - have just downloaded!

A new bra company Brealth states that underwire bras cause breast cancer (THEY DON’t!) and that bra manufacturers are hiding the secret from us all. There is NO evidence to prove this. It’s great they’re giving 10% profits to @BreastCancerNow but their bras don’t stop breast cancer

@ajamesgreen These look great! Well done Limerick high school students! ☺️

Will be interesting to see if this talk is as bleak as Eric's keynote at #BFDG2023! @LucyMPorter @shahina_begum1 @Elisa__Becker

Great thread - that aligns with our recent experience of installing an air source heat pump.

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

Social media and newspapers are flooded with myths about heat pumps.

Let's take them one by one in this thread.
