Taking textiles from sky to space
The private space travel industry has seen significant milestones with Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin completing fully crewed flights. Tapis Corporation, known for developing high-performance fabrics for airline cabins, is supplying materials for the interiors of spacecraft from Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, SpaceX, and NASA. Tapis and Ultrafabrics have provided customized fabrics for seating and wall surfaces, ensuring comfort, stain resistance, and compliance with strict safety standards for flammability and combustion in oxygen-rich environments. The materials have been tested and enhanced to meet NASA's stringent requirements, contributing to the goal of space tourism and commercial crew programs.
Number of reusable cups used on campus doubles
The University of Sussex has reported a doubling in the use of personal mugs for hot drinks on campus, attributing the increase to a pricing strategy that encourages sustainable behavior by setting the reusable-mug price as the default and charging extra for paper cups. Dr. Ruxandra Luca, a marketing lecturer, explains the success of the scheme as a result of behavioral nudges and financial incentives. SussexFood, in partnership with Chartwells, distributed 4,000 reusable cups and joined the UK's paper-cup recycling scheme with Simply Cups. Catering Services Manager David Chick thanked the university community for their support, and law student Alexandra Dobney highlighted the importance of nudges in promoting environmental actions.
Celebrating LGBTQ+ month
LGBT History Month is being celebrated in the UK with various LGBTQ+ events in Brighton and at Sussex University. The month features prominent figures like Travis Alabanza and includes workshops, film screenings, and historical talks. Events are hosted by the University of Sussex Student’s Union and Brighton Museum, among others, highlighting LGBTQ+ history and culture.
