Working from home whilst sick is never fun, but I will admit it's nice to llisten to my cat's little snores whilst writing SOPs

🛣️Resurfacing works at Lodge Hill Road incorporate our groundbreaking carbon-negative solution for asphalt.
✳️The work was completed in partnership with @RedbridgeLive + Kenson Highways.
✅Using ACLA® reduced the project's carbon footprint by 68%

How can we make our building industries more eco-friendly?

@LowCarbonM created a new carbon negative material to use in concrete in construction.

With government support from the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, they are scaling up and commercialising their product 🏗️ Learn more:

When I was younger it was a case of going to school no matter how sick you were. Now as an adult I spend any sick day stressing myself out about being off and not being productive, rather than getting better.

So excited to be involved in the development of this carbon-negative aggregate #Sustainability

[Low Carbon Materials (LCM) @LowCarbonM]

🚨LCM has partnered with @NationalHways in the development of a carbon-negative aggregate which can be used in asphalt mixes to achieve carbon-neutral asphalt.

🛣️This new material innovation will help tackle the carbon footprint of the UK’s roads.

Becoming ill at the same time as the weather gets this hot is not ideal

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Researchers at @Harvard have developed a method to cheaply produce heart valves in minutes, compared to the weeks or months that currently available implant technologies can take. The valves were functional immediately when tested in sheep.

Counterpoint: I can't sleep anyway and pizza makes me happy

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Eating a junk food diet made up of pizza and chocolate can disrupt our brain's electrical activity during the deepest stage of sleep, potentially affecting sleep quality. https://t.co/0JOdWKBvMA

Innovation never ceases to amaze me

[Chemistry World @ChemistryWorld]

A new method has been developed to deliver vaccines and biologics in a needle-free format via air jet gun and metal–organic framework coating. This approach has the added benefit of stabilising pharmaceuticals and removing the need for refrigeration.
