Had a fantastic day at the House of Commons today, launching the white paper for our BB-REG-NET project. Really proud of everything we’ve achieved and honoured to be part of such a brilliant team.

Had a wonderful day yesterday, giving a talk on the language of Ian Hamilton Finlay’s poetry in his garden at Little Sparta. Also managed to catch the exhibition of his work at Biggar museum afterwards. A beautiful selection of his work, expertly curated by Head Gardener, George Gilliland. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meeting MPs at Westminster today for our BB-REG-NET project and pleased to see Portcullis House has a well signposted closed system for the disposal of compostables! Also that the incineration end-point of general waste is foregrounded too. 10/10 👏🏻 @granthamcsf.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social
