If you are interested in making potato plastics or glue from milk, the recipes are on our website 🧪🔬🥔 They're fun experiments for teaching about sustainability, use food safe ingredients and can be done easily in a kitchen! #chemtwitter #realtimechem

Had great fun helping some local schools at make bioplastics out of potato starch @GreenChemYork @ChemistryatYork 🧪 Might submit some of these for advanced testing in @CHAMPION_BBI just in case! #realtimechem #chemtwitter

Today is my last day at @GreenChemYork. These 3 years working on @CHAMPION_BBI seem to have gone by very quickly and I'm sad to say goodbye to everyone here. But I also can't wait to start working at @CrodaPlc in October! Thanks to everyone at the GCCE and see you soon 😁

[Dan Day @DanDayChem]

So happy to have won a poster prize for our @CHAMPION_BBI work at another excellent @RAPS_Org 😁 Sorry I had to leave before the presentations to mark @GreenChemYork final MSc presentations! Really fun 3 days and can't wait to see you all again soon

Great day representing @GreenChemYork and @CHAMPION_BBI for the PLF launch event at @RoySocChem I even bumped into a friend from @SOFI_CDT @denise1302_li #plfrevolution

Such a shame to be saying bye to @ThomasFarmer55 next week 😭 He is a brilliant person and his scientific achievements here at @ChemistryatYork speak for themselves. We're so excited to see what he goes on to do next. Good luck for the future, and see you soon!

@Justgiorgia @GreenChemYork @ChemistryatYork @CHAMPION_BBI @CeTPD_Dundee Hi Giorgia, thanks for the message 😊 Yes, I'd be very happy to share the recipe with you! If you email me ([email protected]), I can send the resources to you

[Dan Day @DanDayChem]

@MWakez @GreenChemYork @ChemistryatYork @CHAMPION_BBI It's a great experiment to do with kids and can easily be done at home too! I can send you the recipe if you're interested?

@VinTaresco opens up our internal polymer meeting - lovely to get us all together @TarescoGroup @IrvineGroup @uonhowdlegroup @cameron_alexndr #uonpolymersymposium

It is with great sadness that we announce that our dear friend and colleague Tom McLeish died peacefully at home yesterday lunchtime. Tom was very dearly loved and enormously respected. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family at this difficult time. @PhysicsofLifeUK

[Dan Day @DanDayChem]

@ThomasOllie 😅 I just hope the questions they ask you are as hard as the ones you used to ask me in teaching labs!

[Dan Day @DanDayChem]

@ThomasOllie @imascientist @GreatSciShare Maybe they asked the wrong question 😉 Glad to see you doing this @ThomasOllie, I think you'll be great at it!
