It’s always great when you see companies move to recyclable packaging. This morning I spotted that Waters sent us a new capillary tube in a paper envelope compared to previous plastic ones 🎉

Forensic science is already not readily funded anymore. Sad to see that now the Leverhulme Research Centre of Forensic Science is at risk of closing next year, despite producing impactful research and educating the public since it’s opening in 2016. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

All 24 jobs at Dundee University’s Leverhulme research centre could be axed because of £30m budget deficit
