Natural composites show the way forward

The Institute of Materials is a great centre of knowledge and networking on the industrial application of materials.  A major amount of their research is focused on mineral fibres (coal, steel, concrete, etc).  However, they have started to offer a more balanced approach to all fibres, and so they did a Natural Composites showcase [...]

Eating the planet, with soya?

As I was sorting out my photos from the last few months, I found this photo from an event I had attended in April.  Amongst my thousands of photos on my camera, picasa and flickr, this is one pic that got away.
The topic of the day looked at the effect our eating habits may be [...]

Hemp talk at London Vegan Fair

I am glad to inform all my readers and beyond that I have been given the opportunity to speak about hemp for food at the London Vegan Fair.
