Hello Bluesky! I'm seeking research, evaluation, case studies on heat pumps in social/public housing - with focus on solutions (service/engagement/policy/technical/etc.) to accelerate uptake + improve tenant experience. Is there anything you recommend I look at? Suggestions and shares appreciated!

Among a range of others, I spoke at length with the Times Higher journalist about student number controls for this piece, and I'd say it gives a balanced account. It comes on the same day news breaks that we anticipate as many as 10,000 jobs going in HE *this year* alone.
Is it time to reintroduce student number controls in England?
The removal of recruitment caps in 2015 was hailed by ministers as a boon to institutions’ and students’ ambitions. But the tuition fee’s declining value and the Russell Group’s ever-growing market sh...

Hi friends, can anyone recommend short/long reads on the ecological consequences of AI? I'd like a couple of links in the rotation to share with people who've started using it "to raise awareness" about plastic pollution and other eco issues who don't seem to know about the environmental impact.

What if innovation were rethought as if people, rather than firms, are the things that matter most?

![Rather than accruing benefits only to a small, socially elite group of innovators, a truly modern innovation economy must seek to create more plural, more equitable opportunities that are accessible beyond major research institutions and massive tech corporations, that prioritise regeneration over extraction, and that uplift and empower people and communities in their diversity.
"Small" in this case does not mean a lack of ambition; it denotes a lack of concentration - a tendency towards pluralism, and an embrace of many possible, parallel realities and futures that are imagined within limits.
The resource intensive nature of modern technologies at scale make these steps urgent, and it seems likely that a shift to smaller-scale and more distributed approaches to computing will become an imperative over the coming decade.
