Encouraging book reviews from some of my energy heroes. My first go at popular science writing (normally write text books) and really enjoyed it. Loved ones ask me "how do you know it's going to be popular?" "It's the genre, darling" I say.

Am really looking forward to this. All new “Travels with Energy Goggles” mini tour of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow first week of COP27 this November. 2 years delayed from Ed Sci Fest via Belfast Sci Fest. Cant wait to perform and hopefully inspire.
Starting September, we will be hosting live Inspiring People talks for the first time since the start of the pandemic, featuring a stellar line-up of speakers befitting of the best national talks programme in Scotland! Read more: rsgs.org/blog/inspiration-st…

A few of the sights and goings on during the second week of #COP26 in Glasgow, courtesy of our observers - @StephenRPeake @EnvGeogSpeaker @RosalieFaithful @SabineGuendel and Gillian Mawdsley.
Take a look at their profiles for their insight on the key events this week.
Little Amal walks into #COP26 after a 9000 km journey. A moving, spell binding theatre experience for so long and so many representing all our displaced children. I recommend this radio backgrounder here bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct1td @OpenUniversity @OUScotland

David Pitt-Watson @CambridgeJBS looks at Adam Smith's work, explaining that he was a professor of moral philosophy, and viewed this as integral to his economics - an idea somewhat alien to the textbooks of today.
