Team KNT are out the office today for our Strategy Day!
Really enjoyed sharing an industry perspective to Lanark Grammar pupils as part of @UofGEngineering outreach. Wish I had more guidance at their age - anything I can do to give something that could be helpful is a privilege 💪🏻😊 @CDT_PIADS @UofGSciEngGrads

Great to meet pupils, and future scientists, from Lanark Grammar at today’s STEM outreach. Learning about careers in #STEM industry

According to biologists, the function of zebras' stripes is to ward off insects. Based on that idea, a team of scientists painted zebra stripes on cows. This reduced the number of biting flies on the cows by more than 50%. realclearscience.com/quick_a… Applied evolutionary biology!

A bit of good news - 2/3 of us want politicians to tone it down. I hope politicians from all sides take note and don’t continue to fight exclusively for the votes of the louder 1/3. We do still live in a predominantly civil country - it’s good to be reminded of this.
