New published research from @DuncanOlly, @captain_ion and @Dr_Tom_Allen 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) 👇

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 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/…

UK spending far more on polluting policies than green ones, says WWF

Just £145m of budget went on environment with £40bn spent on emissions-increasing measures, says charity

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? 😤
