@jbond Have you watched 1923? I thought the second half of the second series was disappointing. Helen Mirren is also good in whatever she does.

Dear journalists, if you're writing/publishing/broadcasting about the Los Angeles wildfires and you don't mention the role of #climate change, you're not doing your full job.

On my trip across New Zealand in October, I toured this all-electric farm. Brilliant stuff, with so many interesting and exciting advances. Inspiring #energytransition stories abound there. Really smart grid integration for solar & storage as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcGytiFU8qM

People frequently ask us how to get their blog or podcast on Feedle faster. The easiest way is to simply write about us on your blog. Yes, that's right - write about Feedle and link to us. This will also help us reach out to more people. Win - Win.

@MichaelBishop I'd half agree with your mum!! Our zero waste is circular! Pigs do the garden, chickens get veg waste!! And I still get to enjoy my bacon and eggs!!

PhD students wanted! My institute #DIW Berlin is looking for the next cohort of doctoral students. After a one-year training phase, you can join one of DIW's departments.

For my research area "Transformation of the Energy Economy" I'm looking for PhD students keen to do research on the renewable energy transition. If you’re passionate about highly renewable, low-carbon energy markets, energy storage, electric heating and electric mobility, this could be for you! ☀️🔌 🔋

I'm looking for a student for an M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Calgary. *This is a fully funded position.*

The project: building tools to help understand how "retro" video games were made under amazingly constrained circumstances. While it's a CS position, this is interdisciplinary work done in collaboration with archaeologists and others.

Needs: strong coding skills, good writing abilities. Ideally: low-level, reverse engineering, or compiler experience.

Open Research Europe (ORE) is poised to become a decentralized #openscience network, supported by funders and institutions:

https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/3603e219-6a65-11ef-a8ba-01aa75ed71a1/language-en

I have a suggestion: EU funders develop a policy that they only fund applications from members of institutions that support ORE. This policy does not cost a single cent and incentivizes good scientific practice.

Scientists at #Oxford Uni have developed a revolutionary approach which could generate #solar electricity without the need for #solarpanels. 💡 😎

Instead, their innovation works by coating a new power-generating material onto the surfaces of everyday objects such as rucksacks, cars, and mobile phones. 🎒 🚗 📲

Sport unites us all.

From Paris to Athens, here are some of our key initiatives to promote sport in the EU:

💪 Erasmus+ for sport enables staff mobility and supports not-for-profit European sport events.

🦾 The European Week of Sport promotes sport participation in communities across the EU.

💪 SHARE 2.0 encourages sport organisations, experts, and public authorities to work together.

Let's ensure everyone can join the game. This is our best gold.

Here's how: https://europa.eu/!qmxvFK

Only 10 of the world's dozens of dependent territories (like #PuertoRico, #HongKong, and #Guam) are allowed to send their own teams to the #Olympics. Learn why in our "countries in the Olympics" explainer: https://www.polgeonow.com/2012/07/olympics-parade-of-nations.html
