It was an honour to be part of this year's #SummerScience Exhibition by @royalsociety. It was a pleasure to answer the rigorous questions about @BumpByMimica posed by the inquisitive minds that showed up.
It's so important that free public talks on science are accessible to all!

[Solveiga Pakštaitė @DesignBySol_]

Next Thursday I will be speaking at the @royalsociety Summer Science Exhibition.

Learn the secret behind your food’s expiry dates, how they're determined and why they matter more than you think.

Our rabbit likes to sleep at the top of the stairs.
En route to the bathroom last night, there she is.
I approach her slowly and pet her very gently.
But instead of fluff, I was feeling rugged fabric & laces.
I was caressing my husband's boots in the blackness of the night.

For this year’s #FoodWasteActionWeek, @LFHW_UK urges #ChooseWhatYou’llUse by opting for loose produce! Multipacks may seem tempting, but they often lead to excess food waste. With #BumpByMimica, ensure freshness and maximise multibuy deals!
