#Engineering occurs at the frontiers of science and technology. At the frontier there is no prior art and no established body of technical science. There are no community expectations of performance as they have not experienced the technology to formulate an opinion on such...
Researchers from the University of Salford and the University of Cambridge found that a one day working week is all we need to get the mental health benefits of work. ⬇️

@tmpear Carbon Dioxide, however is not the only greenhouse gas, and the typical media coverage shows great plumes from water cooling towers, not the small plume from the chimneys. Though water is a greenhouse gas, who is monitoring this?
Life draws resources from the environment, thus changing the environment. Life exhausts waste back to the environment. Thus changing the environment. Tomorrows environment can never be the same as yesterdays.
@tmpear Not realists. There seems to be some silly notion we can undo what has been done, backtrack to some earlier state and move forward without changing the environment. We have to adapt to environmental change.
@ThirlwallAssoc We have significant tree laws to protect trees. Even though problem with reactive clay soils, and a bush fire hazard. Unscrupulous developers remove them and pay the fine.
So your organisation has done digital transformation? But how well prepared are you for the post-digital era? Interesting new report from Accenture. https://t.co/LkAZXYjeZT
We’ve teamed up with @RAEngNews and @ucl to understand whether and how global responsibility impacts on decisions in the engineering profession - we’re now looking for people to get involved in this study. Help us improve engineering practice! https://t.co/Q5VlQXBlJ2
An independent review can only be properly executed if there has been a deliberate intent to make a proposal suitable for purpose and a defendable assertion to that effect has been made.
