Very busy day at the Bangor University science festival. Haven't stopped making paper all day! @BCBangor @BangorUni @TransFIReHub #Paper
One of the good things about this job is being able to examine a very good thesis and then congratulate a good candidate on passing their viva examination. Congratulations Dr Kupfernagel! @BCBangor @BangorUni
Today our PhD student Carlo will defend his thesis against rigorous examination from two eminent wood scientists Callum Hill and our own @Scifencer Simon Curling

Good to see so many people excited to hear about the advances being made with paper packaging at Bangor University community day, despite the draw of face painting and sea life! @TransFIReHub @BCBangor @BangorUni
Getting to the start the Bangor University community day where we are talking about alternatives to plastic packaging, including the work we are doing on paper with the Transfire project. @TransFIReHub @BCBangor @BangorUni

Did you know we have a National Archive of Wood with over 5000 species @BangorUni? Our intern Kim is using hyperspectral imaging to create NIR fingerprints for wood identification. This database will serve as a valuable online resource for forest and timber researchers #timber
