Did you know the official recipe for concrete just changed?
Concrete and cement are, as you’ll know if you’ve read 📖 Material World 📖, ultimately a recipe. That recipe (for Roman concrete) got lost for more than a thousand years. But the story is still evolving…

Asked a bunch of PGA Tour players: How will Jay Monahan survive this?

From one just now: "He won't. He can't."

Announced today, @Peak_Cluster is an innovative project that has the potential to reduce UK emissions from #cement and lime manufacture by 40%. Deploying #CCUS is a key lever in our industry's roadmap to beyond #netzero by 2050, and this news demonstrates further progress.

Today, all universities reopened in Afghanistan after winter break, but ONLY for men.

These brave young women are peacefully protesting outside Kabul University against Taliban BAN on women going to university.

Let us amplify their voices!

Delivering nuclear power on the scale of Government ambition will require a secure supply of concrete. With 95% of UK concrete produced within the UK, @claire_ack8 considers how it can play a vital role in helping deliver new, clean energy infrastructure: https://t.co/f5rE4BJZrD

I don’t have words to express how wrong this is.

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

“Education, work, freedom”

The world MUST NOT forget that Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world that BANS girls from school and women from university. The Taliban are committing crimes against humanity. The women of Afghanistan will NOT be silenced

So sad to hear the news of the passing of my mnd hero Doddie Weir. I'm sorry to say, how many more warriors die before this stupid government give the 50m they said they would give. I'm absolutely gutted to see my friendly giraffe die. You are the reason for being so positive RIP
