It's @ExRdFestival this weekend! Events involving Mech Eng people include "Bedtime Stories for Very Young Engineers" https://t.co/qkRjEPwqtI and “Engineering the conservation of art” in the Creative Science zone at @RGS_IBG https://t.co/9xOf1BdaKH

NEW EPISODE! This week we attempt to untangle #sepsis - its many definitions, vast history, and complicated current status. Joining us is the fantastic Katy Grainger from @SepsisAlliance who shares her harrowing sepsis experience. Tune in today! Pic: Wellcome Collection

It's important to share what *hasn't* worked as well as what has worked - paraphrasing @AlkaSashin at #QEvent22, when discussing digital improvement in healthcare. As with science and design, you learn a lot through failure, it's extremely valuable information.

'COVID-19: managing an obstetric emergency' - an interesting example by @MaryDixonWoods of @THIS_Institute at the #QEvent22 involving a rapid-response consultation exercise for a #PPH emergency when the mother has #Covid. @theQCommunity

This sounds great!

Naa Harding is a #MechanicalEngineering student at @imperialcollege & is the lead researcher for this Dufatanye sanitary pads project, aiming to create sustainable, affordable, quality #period pads using fibres from banana trees in Rwanda. @ImperialMechEng

Plant dyes - all the colours achievable from leaf, flower and root within around a five mile radius. The red hot poker root was a gift from a friend on Skye but that’s only several miles across the water…

The stories in this report are so impactful; even more so because they're relatable. They're not unusual, one-off events anymore. 'Fixing the NHS: Why we must stop normalising the unacceptable' - @AoMRC. #NHS #AdverseEvents

Using #watercolour, as a more ambiguous medium than the standard fine-liners used in #design #drawing to encourage multiple interpretations of drawings of speculative concepts. Used during 'Design Conversations' when two people draw different objects then create merged #concepts.

"In 2019, the time it took an average debt client to pay back their debts was projected to be 39 years. In 2022, that figure has risen to 190 years" - Horrific statistic by @CitizensAdvice on @channel4's 'Broke: Britain's #Debt Emergency: #Dispatches'.

@DesignMuseum @V_and_A And a few more from #LDF22. Human hair spun into rope by Sanne Visser. Chair at Two Kettles, No Sofa. Graphic tiles at Huguet x Pentagram. #TomDixonTWENTY.

@DesignMuseum @V_and_A Sony’s Into Sight #LDF22 - an interactive room inside a room. Really fun to people watch!

@DesignMuseum Squeezed in a quick sweep of #LDF22. Material experiments by Omer Arbel @V_and_A, melting down glass & metal objects, then blowing glass moulds to pour molten metal into. When cooling, the glass cracks / explodes leaving a metal sculpture. Performance art meets material science.

First time in London since 2019 (still felt like home) (away from home). One day of #design submersion. Felt honoured to be in the same room as Ai Weiwei @DesignMuseum.

Whilst looking for a litter picker to do a beach clean I discovered Waterhaul who make products out of 'ghost gear' (abandoned fishing gear and nets) salvaged from beaches. Turning waste into resource and reducing 'ghost fishing' #designoutwaste @SNTechUK https://t.co/QfMK6ha7eG

Upcoming Q event 🙂

For people returning to work after pregnancy, this experience can be difficult at the best of times before additional pressures such as covid and the increasing cost of living. Employers please consider having "support processes in place as a matter of urgency". @imperialcollege
