Today on my way to the @PhosphorusESPP White #Ammonia Recovery Meeting. Which was hugely informative, reconnecting to people from @EawagResearch., @waterclimatehub, @INSAToulouse and Colsen b.v.. I came across that poster. How topical.Let's go #GreenNewDeal and #CircularEconomy.

What medieval castle toilets looked like

The first modern flushable toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harrington, who installed one for his godmother, Elizabeth I.

Occasionally, some brave knights would conduct sneak attacks by entering the castle via the shaft connected to the garderobe.

Throughout history, there have been a number of famous people who died on the toilet. Several of them were stabbed from below while in the process of defecating.

These people include:
- King Edmund I of England (30 November 1016)
- Jaromír Duke of Bohemia (4 November 1035)
- Godfrey IV Duke of Lower Lorraine (circa 26-27 February 1076)
- Wenceslaus III of Bohemia (4 August 1306)
- Uesugi Kenshin (19 April 1578).

Yesterday @Timvwinckel and I were invited by the @PortofAntBruges to brainstorm on the future of our #WaterREACT tool. Key questions were: How can we better exchange water in the harbour and what are the barriers to it. Thanks to @AntwerpU and the @PortofAntBruges for funding!

[Marc Spiller @MarcSpiller]

We had a great @SUSFERT_BBI project meeting. Seeing our #sustainable #fertilizers innovations taking shape. Thanks especially to our host @GroupeRoullier. Expect to see @SUSFERT_BBI webinars and final conferences coming your way soon...

A big happy birthday to @Siegfried_Vla of @BirUantwerpen and @CaptuREsources. We surprised him today with a delicious koffiekoek 😃.

[BIOVEXO Biopesticides to fight Xylella fastidiosa @BiovexoProject]

⚠️Worrying #information from #Portugal🇵🇹 #Xylella has been detected in 7️⃣5️⃣ plant species, including citrus, olive groves and #vineyards.
☹️ This endangers the country's #biodiversity and #agricultural production.

[Marc Spiller @MarcSpiller]

@BirUantwerpen @roetsenrico05 @Siegfried_Vla Look at that. Just started and already research results on #Proteintransition, #Nitrogen and #Sustainability Very happy to have on board.
