Great to give evidence to the Science, Technology and Innovation Select Committee (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) about the importance of fungi & the ways that the UK government can support 1) fungal conservation, 2) fungal research, and 3) fungal education. See link in bio for longer edit.

#Hempcrete innovation update! Geopolymer binder (70% clay, 30% CSH) = highest strength, but lower thermal & acoustic results Hydrated lime + calcined clay + limestone = best acoustic & thermal performance ๐Ÿ“Š XRD confirms stable structural phases doi.org/10.1617/s11527โ€ฆ
