Finally caught up with the Gresham lecture on #microbial megastructures given earlier this week by @robinmay9. Includes a fantastic explanation of the work at Bath on use of #bacteria to heal cracks in #concrete. gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/micr…

Just fab to get ALL the staff and postdocs (including those that had left Bath) from the Bath @Materials4Life team together for the first and last time. Celebrating the end of what was an amazing project. #Research is #fun.

After 5 years @Materials4Life ends this month. It was great to have a final drink with fellow directors, Tony, Abir and Diane, in London last week to celebrate a transformation in self-healing and self-sensing construction #materials and work well done. Cheers all.

The first RM4L presentation is from Livia @Cambridge_Eng on her work to tailor microcapsules for self healing. Unfortunately she couldn't make it to Milan.

In Cardiff, we keep active in concrete mechanics after Prof Karihaloo's legacy: dissipation processes for cracking across scales (topic of my PhD), other colleagues are working in non-conventional concrete mechanics such as self-healing rm4l.com/ @Materials4Life
