Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Agreed, the FDA is/will be immune from any unrest as a result of the election. Any unrest will be localised to the redneck states. USA is an enormous country and the chances of widespread chaos as a result of a close (or not so close) election are IMHO very small. An interesting (silly) fact: it is further from NY to LA than from London to Lagos.
"East Japan Railway (JR East), Hitachi and Toyota have signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of a prototype rail vehicle which employs a hydrogen-electric traction system."
I flag this from International Railway J. to make the point that AFC needs a heavyweight firm to help it develop. Too small on its own. AFC has great products, but lacks the clout to commercialise IMHO
Not all plastic is bad, It has many uses where there is no obvious replacement, particularly in food industry. But they have used it without thought and use far too much. Now we have PHE to clear up the mess. If the DMG mousetrap works reliably and long term then the matter becomes controllable. I take it that as far as PHE is concerned, all types of plastic are treated in the same way?
AGL is easily my biggest punt, and it will be v good if you are right. As I am paranoid about US behaviour, I worry (wrongly, I hope ) that the fda can come under pressure from big bio in the US to delay approval while they get their act together with their rather inferior ctDNA tests. Tell me I wrong, please, with reasoning!
guardian article. A very good find, many thanks.
“PAS 9017 is the first stakeholder consensus on how to measure the biodegradability of polyolefins that will accelerate the verification of technologies for plastic biodegradation.”
SYM must surely have been involved - and then , again, perhaps SYM is too dopey to have realised that this was happening, and maybe they have not heard of it.
If they are invovled then it was worth an RNS to point out their involvement, and the fact that there now is a UK standard, which did not exist previously, in an area where there was much claim and counterclaim about efficacy.
So either 0/10 for not being involved or 0/10 for not making their invoilvement public.
