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…

All part of @RILEM1947 TC 287-CCS looking at cracking in concrete. It's amazing how much we still need to learn. And for my part how we can get cracks to heal themselves. rilem.net/groupe/287-ccs-ear…

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.

Replying to @zhirenz
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
