@Keir_Starmer ...and now I'll have to pay £ks more in stamp duty, thanks Keir!

If you work hard, the least you should expect is the security of a roof over your head. The Tories broke that contract when they failed to build the homes Britain needed. My Labour government is fixing it. metro.co.uk/2025/02/13/kei…

Change.

RISHI SUNAK HAS CALLED A GENERAL ELECTION FOR 4 JULY. It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

@CWSSch @RoySocChem Another problem is the additives put in all plastics to confer things like colour, physical attributes etc. Some are quite toxic and are readily released upon biodegradation of the plastic. How do we deal with that?

@CWSSch @RoySocChem How is biodegradable defined? Many products badged as biodegradable cannot, for example, be composted under normal conditions.

@WycliffeCollege The Fairphone is a great idea but for it to be effective people need to buy it rather than the latest iPhone. How do we attract buy-in from the public?

Henry, Abigail, Conrad and Athina from Years 9-11 have entered this poster into the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Top of the Bench competition. They have researched the elements involved in the making of smartphones and what happens if they run out! 📱🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

@PriorPark @RoySocChem Are there any alternative elements (or combinations of elements) that could provide viable alternatives?

Here is the winner 🏆 Well done to David (U5), Layla (L5), Ollie (F4) and Reuben (F4) on their winning poster! @RoySocChem #topofthebench

Seven teams from Prior have competed competed to represent the College in the @RoySocChem ‘Top of the Bench’ competition. Our winning poster will be revealed shortly 👀 Find out more about the competition below ⬇️ edu.rsc.org/enrichment/top…

@MCol_Academic @RoySocChem Also, have you considered so-called Nature-Based Solutions towards carbon capture and how they might compare with your solutions in terms of effectiveness?

@MCol_Academic @RoySocChem These are two excellent overviews of industrial processes for removing CO2 from the atmosphere. I just wondered how sustainable the forst process is as maintaining a ball of plasma sounds very energy intensive.

Happy to announce that the next SIMSUG (Stable Isotope Mass Spectrometry User Group) meeting will be 18th to 20th June 2024 @BritGeoSurvey

@Simon_Hammann You're missing out...

A very warm welcome to our latest signatory, the British Geological Survey! @BritGeoSurvey envision a safer, more sustainable and prosperous planet and a future based on sound geoscientific solutions, all of which wouldn't be possible without their brilliant #technicians

@seis_matters A soul destroying activity.

@Simon_Hammann So wrong!

@StephenMerchant @BBCiPlayer Thankyou for this love letter to Bristol Stephen, a ray of joy in what has been a really shitty year.

All six episodes of The Outlaws now on ⁦@BBCiPlayer⁩

@Simon_Hammann Did you buy it?

@emzyholl Echoes!!!

After leaving some of my texbooks behind in 🇳🇱, (flying cheap=suitcase limits!), it's good to see them back on my shelf ❤️📚❤️

@Darren_F_Mark Cooker

FFS... Integrated fridge-freezer crapped out on us Friday and tonight the washer-dryer has catastrophically failed... what's next!

If the UK government was serious about environmental research as they like to claim then they'd give it 0% VAT like medical research...
