Congratulations to Dr Yihua Hu, whose invention, the Home Energy Router, just won a Gold Medal at @Inventions_GVA🥇
Revolutionising the way we manage energy in the home, made together with DX Energy, the device could usher in a new age of sustainable homes. Congrats Yihua!🎉
ALT Dr Yihua Hu and his colleague at DX Energy smile as they pose next to their Home Energy Router invention. Text reads: Congraduations Dr Yihua Hu and partner DX Energy win the Gold Medal at the 50th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions

For #KCLWomenInSTEMM season, we're asking our KCL women about how we can support more women in STEMM!
See what Dr Tayebeh Mousavi, Lecturer @KCL_Engineering, had to say about what would help 🧵⬇️

Our latest manuscript, where we show that C-terminal amidation of an antimicrobial peptide increases its conformational flexibility, which improves membrane penetration, leads to faster bacterial killing & better selectivity for pathogens, is available. bit.ly/3Ct1PSm

Dusty May joked about a Michigan fan needing to update the Wikipedia entry on efficiency to include Nimari Burnett.
Somebody went and did it.
