Another great blog by @mastroianni.bsky.social www.experimental-history.com/p/face-it-yo...
Impressive and encouraging results on applying AI for systematic reviews ๐
๐ Check out this technical note on some early work-in-progress on accelerating evidence synthesis with AI
We're exploring OpenAlex and OpenAI LLMs to extract structured data from 1000s of research papers ๐ฅต

Could seeing a heat pump in action encourage more homeowners to make the switch?
Last year, we launched Visit a Heat Pump to connect the heat-pump curious with local heat pump owners.
A year on, it's seen 1000+ bookings with 90% of visitors recommending the service. Find out more:
The surge in funding signals rising confidence in the commercial future of low-carbon heating and heat pump tech.
More trends + signals from research & policy in our full Mission Radar update ๐

๐ฌ๐ง Mixergy (ยฃ12M)
Smart hot water storage compatible with multiple energy sources (Nesta is an investor)
๐ก Why it matters: Particularly useful when space constraints make it difficult to accommodate a full-sized hot water cylinder alongside a heat pump

โจ Q1 2025: Venture capital highlights on our radar
These startups stood out for their potential to accelerate home decarbonisation ๐
3/n
๐ Between 2020 and 2024, early and growth-stage VC investment in heat pump ventures grew by over 1,100%
That made heat pumps the most heavily backed low-carbon heating tech in that period 2/n
๐ Whatโs new on the Mission Radar?
In our latest innovation trends scan @nestauk.bsky.social, we tracked VC signals in low-carbon heating- and the trajectory is exciting! 1/n

It was great to participate in the AI evidence synthesis workshop organised by ai@cam this week!
Amazing to see so much interest and activity in this space (and very impressed by the work done by the Conservation Evidence team)
Looking forward to contributing more to this topic in the near future
Oligarchic control and subservient justice & security systems are lessons Russia has for Americans, & another is the neutering of the Russian Duma, which abdicated most of its powers to Putin and soon had the rest taken away. The GOP looks ready to become Trump's United Russia.
Very interesting @jeremycliffe.bsky.social Are there any articles or papers where I can read more analysis about the Spanish economic success of the recent years? Thank you!
๐ก Last autumn, @helloaidank.bsky.social had a spark of an idea: a gen AI chatbot to support heat pump installations.
Fast forward, and itโs amazing to see how that idea has grown into an actual feature on a real-world platform. Excited to see what's next! ๐
