Sports Engineer 🏂 is not overly thrilled with his new #WFH desk lamp... although it has definitely exceeded all my wildest dreams!!! 🦄💡

Dr. Deepti Gurdasani The Tories appear have been covering up the number of new cases in schools (because of elections?) and they seem to have lots of willing helpers on twitter. If things get out of control in a few weeks wait for the comments on tv, "poor Boris he did his best". #FBPA #FBPPR

I recently heard someone say that deadline extensions represent a ‘slippery slope’... A slippery slope to what? Compassion? Empathy towards other people? Recognising that there are a million major ongoing events that might mean people have other priorities in their lives? 😤

Congratulations Samuel Capp on the first published paper from your thesis! And thank you to the team of Prof Pete Kelly, Craig E Banks and Dr Zaenab Abd Allah. Great to have this out. The effect of TiO2 coatings on the formation of ozone and nitrogen oxi... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We can’t just budget x amount on reducing emissions and allow the rest to do the exact opposite. Every penny spent must have a considered cost to the climate theguardian.com/environment/20…

Inspiring and bracing day out at Little Woolden Moss filming awesome new poems by our Carbon Poet in Residence Clare Shaw with Modify Productions and team from Lancashire Wildlife Trust

Very pleased that Durham Uni has now moved to require mask wearing for all (except exempt) in classrooms & for moving thru uni buildings. UCU, GMB, Unite & Unison have been very clear in demanding strong health & safety protection for workers & students. This is a win!

We have a #funded #PhD #PhDposition (3 years UK/home fees) starting in spring with Jake McClements Shayan Seyedin Bioinspired Materials lab where we will develop #polymer #sensors #bioelectronics to improve #foodsafety. Email for info (link to lab video below): youtu.be/A0HVHX5D5T4

The centre have had TWO successful applications to the Royal Society Research Grant 2022 Round 1 - from Zaenab Abd-Allah and @EdwardRandviir

Zaenab's award is titled “Tailored plasma-catalysts process for nitrogen fixation into NOx for fertilizer production.”

While @EdwardRandviir 's award is titled “Creating Value Added Products from Textile Waste”

📢Our🆕paper, @DuncanOlly and David Sawtell, in IOP Publishing Developments on #auxetic closed cell #foam pressure vessel fabrications doi.org/10.1088/1361-6… via IOPscience

New published research from @DuncanOlly, David Sawtell and Sports Engineer 🏂 who investigated closed cell foams fabricated using pressure vessels - methods that haven't been explored for a long time! Sometimes the old ways are the best (Pickering emulsions being a great example) 👇
