Editor’s Note ✍️
This week, we bring you an insight into the factors that affect gas prices and why they have been fluctuating upwards recently. You’ll also find an op-ed on democratising lawmaking and an explainer on Heatwaves and what they could mean for our heating world. Lastly, we bring you a new exciting fellowship opportunity as well as a course on spatial analysis!
