Could this be the beginning of the end for your energy bill? writefirstdraft.co.uk/could-this-be-… How little can you invest and still end up with a negative annual energy bill? Can you get there without extra insulation? Why would you put solar panels facing north?!

@cbdontsurf Strange for a new build to be draughty, but either of those firms will sort you out.

@writefirstdraft Thanks David. I’ll look them up now. We’ve got a heat pump in a new build but think we have a big problem with drafts annoyingly. I want to pinpoint where the heat loss is to try and rectify it

@writefirstdraft Hi David. Did you write the heat pump article in the Telegraph today? You mention a firm which measures the rate of heat loss in homes and was just wondering if you could point me in their direction. Cheers. Charlie

Going by the poll of @Telegraph readers following my pean to the heat pump, it seems my work is not yet done! telegraph.co.uk/money/net-zero…

Never thought I'd read an article like this in the Telegraph. So I wrote it!

@Joy_Schmeer Thanks Joy! Glad it helped.

Workshop of the week... 'writing science for a non-expert audience' by @writefirstdraft really helped me to think about writing about my research in accessible and engaging language! It's all knowing your story and keeping it short & simple. #sciencecommunication

Nicely written piece from @DAaronovitch. Insightful and funny. Well worth your time. davidaaronovitch.substack.com/p/some-are-whi…

Aside from anything else, Liz Truss's aspiration nation commits the sin of the double suffix. One might even say it is a communication abomination. Don't do it, kids! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Doh!

Great to launch the @bhamenergy report on decarbonising domestic heat yesterday. birmingham.ac.uk/research/energ… Massively important and timely, and I'm happy to have helped out. @carolinelucas @EdwardJDavey @alanwhiteheadmp

A monumental piece of investigative journalism. The title is the thesis and she's proved it.

Johnson's claim that he "always thought" it would be hard to get a US trade deal is surely an outrageous reverse ferret. Of course the craven @BBCNews lets it slide. Do your work, @ByDonkeys

"The father of two children, found dead along with their mother and another child, said he was heartbroken." Tragic news indeed, but @bbcnews has mangled its headline with two confusing and unneeded commas.

Nicely written piece on corporate architecture since 9/11. "Resembling financial bar charts, [the Twin Towers] looked like what they were, banal machines for maximising land value." £ ft.com/content/2c6355…

Heading to Sheffield to lead writing workshop for #solar PhDs at @cdtpv. So looking forward to it. First live gig and only second time out of London in two years! #writing #sciencecomms

Scientists report rain on the peak of the Greenland icecap for first time ever. They had no rain gauges because it was so unexpected. #ClimateEmergency

Sir David King, ex UK chief scientist: in 30 yrs 80-90% of Vietnam will be under seawater at least 1x/year. 100m climate refugees. After first inundation, the world's third largest rice producer will produce no more. #ClimateEmergency #StopCambo #WakeUp ft.com/content/5804b9…
