Fantastic to see @imperialcollege expertise featured in @BBCNews! 👏 Dr. Clair Barnes, lead author of a new study, highlights how climate change is increasing the risk of devastating LA wildfires.
29 Jan 2025
Climate change was a major factor that led to the hot, dry weather that gave rise to the LA fires.
Climate change made those weather conditions about 35% more likely, according to the World Weather Attribution, led by @Grantham_IC researchers 🔽

Yesterday we welcomed @peterkyle from @SciTechgovuk who visited @WCIDLondon to meet student startup @multusmedia🤝
They discussed the new Regulatory Innovation Office and how science and innovation can support new companies and growth 📈
We want to bring new technology to the public faster.
The Regulatory Innovation Office will:
✔Update regulation to drive innovation
✔Speed up approvals to bring new products to market
✔Ensure regulatory bodies work together
That's more innovation, jobs & a stronger economy.
