Walking With Energy: Dr. Aimee Ambrose

The Energy Talk

Energy is a vital part of our lives but most times appears invisible to us, in large parts because we are disconnected from the key infrastructures and processes that are responsible for generating energy and delivering it to our home.

Dr. Aimee Ambrose joins us this week to explain how the concept of 'energy invisibility' inspired her research into how our relationship with energy influences policy and energy infrastructure. She also tells us about her new project called "Walking with Energy" which offers a guided experience through key energy infrastructure that appears invisible but power our way of life. Walking with Energy has been adapted to an online event due to Covid restrictions.

Curious about the Walking with Energy project? Why not join an online event on 25 March from 18:00-19:30 (GMT). In addition to taking a virtual tour of the SYSAV Waste-to-Energy plant in Sweden, you'll learn about how 'implicit association tests' reveal knowledge and attitudes about energy -- including your own!

Participation is limited to 50, so sign up early! https://bit.ly/3qTzRDm
