Well, it would be rude not to.🎄

I wonder what’s been happening in the lab this week!! Matteo Ciantia 🇬🇧🇮🇹 👀

At the UoD Geotechnics we have access to some excellent equipment for material characterisation! In this case Mercury intrusive porositmery and XRD were used to check out the pore space and material composition respectively! Can you guess what one has a high clay account?

In a couple of weeks I am doing a 24hr bike race in the highlands of Scotland. I am raising awareness and money for Mental Health Foundation and would love any donation you may be able to give! Here is a link to my just giving! justgiving.com/fundraising/th…
