If you are interested in making potato plastics or glue from milk, the recipes are on our website πŸ§ͺπŸ”¬πŸ₯” They're fun experiments for teaching about sustainability, use food safe ingredients and can be done easily in a kitchen! #chemtwitter #realtimechem https://t.co/iymjcoGwGY

Today is my last day at @GreenChemYork. These 3 years working on @CHAMPION_BBI seem to have gone by very quickly and I'm sad to say goodbye to everyone here. But I also can't wait to start working at @CrodaPlc in October! Thanks to everyone at the GCCE and see you soon 😁

Such a shame to be saying bye to @ThomasFarmer55 next week 😭 He is a brilliant person and his scientific achievements here at @ChemistryatYork speak for themselves. We're so excited to see what he goes on to do next. Good luck for the future, and see you soon!
