Evidence: receiving gratitude improves cardiovascular stress responses, boosting resilience and performance by turning threats into challenges.
Being thanked fortifies our bodies along with our bonds.
Hello everyone! Now out to the world, the @CentreNetZero approach for how cities tackle their energy challenges across demographics, investment, urban structure, and consumer engagement.
Now - for putting it into practice! Advice is at the ready for the energy transition⚡️
📣 NEW: Today we're releasing ‘Clean Energy Cities: A data-driven framework for the transition to future energy systems’

🤵♂️👰♀️ my past and present in one tweet - I was in the room as @ONS created the mission for the Integrated Data Programme and now I'm focused on energy and climate @CentreNetZero
Last week ONS launched a new version of their climate change portal for COP27. https://t.co/7bEr4tA7Do One of the many cool projects colleagues at @Swirrl@TPXimpact have been beavering away at as part of the Integrated Data Programme. <3
“just after the cheap rate starts” is totally rational human behaviour, but in a future world full of EV chargers that are about 7 times more powerful, we’ll need to stagger our street times to keep energy resilience up - see our research at https://t.co/PYEMhsMjlm
Moved to a 'cheap overnight' rate with @OctopusEnergy but our washing machine doesn't have a timer :-(
Thanks to a recommendation from a fellow IBMer, I got a @SwitchBot which now 'presses' the 'start' button on it just after the cheap rate starts.. There is always a way!

BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Senate passed the #InflationReductionAct with historic climate and clean energy measures. If signed into law, it would put the U.S. within striking distance of its 2030 emissions reduction target.

France: All new buildings in commercial zones to be partially covered by greenery or solar panels. This will prompt energy innovation as different consumer preferences and export offers emerge. Could others require this on publicly-owned land? https://t.co/aL7zVMFIzM
Best thing I heard a @BHcityleaders professor say today to a group of city leaders:
"You have to have a stomach for complexity. In your roles, you have to have a stomach for partial solutions that allow some progress."
