Had an amazing catch up today with Dr Peter Irga UTS and Luowen Lyu chatting all about microbial contributions to phytoremediation in green wall systems - very excited to see this research progress! UTS Research Biological Sciences

UTS Green Infrastructure Lab launch! Thank you for giving me an opportunity to waggle on stage 🐝 and chat about the positive impact of enhancing solar panel performance with green roofs! #UTSGILab #greeninfrastructure #ecofriendly, #cleanenergy, , #solar, #renewableenergy

Exploring some green walls in Manila Philippines. Simple set up - very effective. #verticalgarden #greenwall #manila #philippines #itsmorefuninthephilippines

Happy to have contributed to this guide for increased Biodiversity for Solar Farms. 🌞 🐞 #renewables #natureandrenewables #solarpower #biosolar #greenenergy👍🐛🤝

This is amazing! After some months of designing, they are ready to acquire airborne bacteria.
