RIP Stan Lee who was told "No one likes spiders", just goes to show if you follow your passion and do it well, people will change their minds.

A nice step toward waste-free and recyclable plastic materials sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/… #plasticfree #plasticpollution

It's the Northern Launch of our book, if you are in or around York come along!

Super excited to go down to @OxZooDept today for our FLIPT Horizon 2020 project meeting with all our partners @SpinnovaLtd Anthony J Ryan OBE Oxford Silk Group @itqbunl VTT IPFDD iNANO - Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center Materials at TUoS Sustainability at Sheffield

Great way to finish a successful Horizon 2020 6th FLIPT meeting. Fascinating presentations from three of our partners, Chris Holland , @CrisSiPereira and Thomas Vosegaard @[email protected] taking place Oxford Materials. Thanks for the hospitality Oxford Silk Group

Excellent to have the ShefBiomat research in progress talks back up and running. Thank you to Chris Holland and Helen Wright for their engaging talks on cellulose/silk processing and CoV2 glycosylation. Great work from Thin Sam the fat man in organising. I've missed you all!

So a great way to end the week, just seen the piece @gillians_voice did on #Springwatch2020 about spider silk and its great to see our science being communicated so well, thanks Gillian! bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… 42 mins in.

NMA Today’s NMA lunchtime seminar on biomimicry - such a fascinating subject, introduced by Chris Holland. And coming up in August is a focus on construction!

V. Excited to have our new PhD student El joining us today to work on hair. Welcome El!

We've got another FREE 1hr seminar next week on natural materials as biomaterials. Join us as 4 experts each give 7 minute quickfire presenations and learn about the state of the art! #iom3 Materials at TUoS #biomaterials NMA Jellagen iom3.org/events-awards/…

Very Excited that our paper on venom flow properties has been chosen as the cover for Journal of Experimental Biology! It's been years in the making and a surprising result: Unexpected lack of specialisation in the flow properties of spitting cobra venom jeb.biologists.org/content/224/7/…

Our next event is coming up, 1 hour to celebrate #earthday so please join us! NMA Lunchtime Seminars: Focus on Earth Day iom3.org/events-awards/…

Really excited to have our paper published in Advanced Functional Materials. It's been a while in the making but well worth the hours and hours spent collecting data and carefully crafting the narrative to make it as accessible as…lnkd.in/eVT_qgg lnkd.in/eafZq-W

Our research into the often debated and elusive appearance of "voids" whilst silk is spun has just been published in Nature Communications! doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Materials at TUoS #silk #research #sheffield
