Proud Mamma and proud Prof today. My kids loved #BangGoesTheBorders science festival… their favourite activity - my lab’s building with bacteria! Thanks ⁦@mjcapeness and⁩ 🦠 team - you were awesome! ⁦

[Faraday Institution @FaradayInst]

Kudos to @LeHorsfall & Virginia Echavarri-Bravo from @EdinburghUni for being highly commended in the @FaradayInst Community Awards! 🏆👏

Their method of using bacteria to recover metals shows great promise for sustainable battery recycling.

Thanks to the IBioIC facilities and engineering expertise for accelerating the development of this exciting emerging technology

[IBioIC @IBioIC]

Bacteria may hold key to solving EV battery headache.

We were delighted to be able to work with the Edinburgh Genome Foundry on this project that used bacteria to extract critical metals from an EV battery.

It is both #BiologyWeek 🦠and #RecyclingWeek♻️

Here are 3 (of many) applications of biological recycling at @EdEngBio:

1. Upcycling of metal waste to nanoparticles #ReLIB
2. Enzymatic conversion of plastic to vanillin
3. Biomass processing to fossil fuel free hydrocarbons

[Louise Horsfall @lehorsfall]

I thoroughly enjoyed it - thank you for the invitation and for hosting such an individualised celebration of talent. It was clear how much the FI values each and every one of its fantastic PhD students.
