Do #Barbie and #Ken ever get old? No! At least not in the perfect #Barbieland! How does it work from the chemical point of view? Degradation of poly(vinyl chloride)–used to make #Barbie heads-was studied in our recent paper published in #HeritageScience at rdcu.be/dhVWu

"Requirements include a 2:1, a can-do attitude... and savings of over 15k."
This will never be on a job advert, but if you're going to base the worth of your applicant on their class, it should be.
Enjoy my morning musings to start the day:

If drivers can't avoid bright orange bollards, what protection does white paint offer cyclists? More evidence that protected cycle lanes are vital.
If you DO support newly installed safe cycling infrastructure, email you local councillors & let them know
