RT @SynBiologue How much lab research can be done over a summer by a group of students? #iGEM teams have managed to achieve fantastic results over the years, developing novel ideas to solve real problems @EdinburghOG2017 @EdiGEM2018 @SBSatEd #engineering synbiologue.com/2018/10/25/i…

Throughout the publication process, the editors @nature were amazing. We felt that they 'got' our work, and this editorial really confirms that. Funny you quote 'heaven in a wild flower' - because we joke that the dandelion has a halo (= SVR). nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

The way our economy currently operates - taking stuff out of the ground, making something out of that and then ultimately throwing that thing "away" - cannot run in the long-term. It's time to create a new vision. #circulareconomy

Please don't tell me that introducing new #biobased #plastic packaging will confuse UK #recycling system. It's already confused! 🤔BBC analysis shows Councils use 39 different sets of plastic recycling collection rules! Yes 39! 😟bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

The technology is already there to rethink plastics and make them great again. Great to see this topic being a central theme at #NSLive today!

To fight #plasticpollution, we need to rethink the whole system. @LBNet_NIBB identified the top 10 biobased alternatives to petroleum-based chemicals - not only are they an environmental imperative, they're also a business opportunity. theengineer.co.uk/green-alte…

Want to learn more about sustainable chemistry? Our CEO @PaulMines1 will be speaking at @univofstandrews next Wednesday afternoon - and give an answer to the burning question, are plastics wonder materials or existential threat?

The circular economy starts by thinking about materials as circulating through two distinct flows - biological and technical - derived from the #CradletoCradle design concept. ellenmacarthurfoundation.org…
