Great piece and thanks to @bridges_tom for joining us from the word go in championing the profound ways that #textiles continue to put #Leeds and #Yorkshire on the map

Wonderful letter by @monkeynut_coat in today’s FT about how the strengths of #Leeds and @UniversityLeeds in textiles innovation contributed to the discovery of DNA. 🐑 🧬
