RISHI SUNAK HAS CALLED A GENERAL ELECTION FOR 4 JULY.

It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

@CWSSch @RoySocChem Another problem is the additives put in all plastics to confer things like colour, physical attributes etc. Some are quite toxic and are readily released upon biodegradation of the plastic. How do we deal with that?

[Ian Bull @dribull]

@CWSSch @RoySocChem How is biodegradable defined? Many products badged as biodegradable cannot, for example, be composted under normal conditions.

@WycliffeCollege The Fairphone is a great idea but for it to be effective people need to buy it rather than the latest iPhone. How do we attract buy-in from the public?

[Ian Bull @dribull]

@PriorPark @RoySocChem Are there any alternative elements (or combinations of elements) that could provide viable alternatives?

[Ian Bull @dribull]

@MCol_Academic @RoySocChem Also, have you considered so-called Nature-Based Solutions towards carbon capture and how they might compare with your solutions in terms of effectiveness?

[Ian Bull @dribull]

@MCol_Academic @RoySocChem These are two excellent overviews of industrial processes for removing CO2 from the atmosphere. I just wondered how sustainable the forst process is as maintaining a ball of plasma sounds very energy intensive.

Happy to announce that the next SIMSUG (Stable Isotope Mass Spectrometry User Group) meeting will be 18th to 20th June 2024 @BritGeoSurvey

@Simon_Hammann You're missing out...

[Technician Commitment @TechsCommit]

A very warm welcome to our latest signatory, the British Geological Survey! @BritGeoSurvey envision a safer, more sustainable and prosperous planet and a future based on sound geoscientific solutions, all of which wouldn't be possible without their brilliant #technicians

@seis_matters A soul destroying activity.

[Ian Bull @dribull]

@Simon_Hammann So wrong!

[Ian Bull @dribull]

@StephenMerchant @BBCiPlayer Thankyou for this love letter to Bristol Stephen, a ray of joy in what has been a really shitty year.

[Ian Bull @dribull]

@Simon_Hammann Did you buy it?

If the UK government was serious about environmental research as they like to claim then they'd give it 0% VAT like medical research...
