Congratulations to Matthew Threadgold who is the winner of this year’s LIFD ECR Twitter image competition. You can see his tweet and image here, or below @MattThreadgold  If evaporation is sufficiently strong, salt lakes dry up to leave a salt crust at the surface. Subsurface fluid is forced upward by...

Ventilation and air cleaning in schools is still important with regards to covid, other infections and for wider health. Prof. Catherine Noakes and Dr. Henry Burridge have published a brilliant new article on the importance of air cleaning in schools, why it is an important component for good attendance and...

Competition closes midnight Friday 17th June Each applicant should submit a research image and use two tweets to explain the image and advertise any relevant publications. Specifically, the first tweet should contain the image and a caption for a general fluids audience. The second tweet can contain more specific scientific...
