Featuring my thoughts...

[Lloyd's Register Foundation @LR_Foundation]

Data shows the safety gap between developing economies and the developed world is increasing. We want to change this by identifying where engineering skills are needed most, and direct funding to support effective and long-lasting interventions. Read now: https://t.co/gNwKARQ6pO

[Lloyd's Register Foundation @LR_Foundation]

We are pleased to share our Director of Skills and Education; Dr Tim Slingsby has co-authored a recent article by the @wef, which shares insights on why skills development is vital for shipping’s green transition. Find out more: https://t.co/r4N8Gi8gLL

Question of the year so far yesterday in a Y3 Rocks and soils workshop;

“Atomic Tom, why does this sh*t rock have a swear word name?”

“That’s a great question, it’s actually pronounced schist”

“Ahh, yes that makes more sense”
