@SeaFury is looking for a job. Please boost this post for her. Thank you.
“Looking for a job. My dream job is in #quantitative #research. I am #specialised in climate data and #buildingscience, especially #mould and #condensation #simulation.
If I can’t find a job in this area, I can also #design (#architecture, #graphic, #web and #software) and #teach (architecture, #cad design).
I am also open to leaving my area of expertise for another field of research as I have a lot applicable skills. I am looking for work in #Sydney, #Canberra (woo!) or #Launceston. Will consider #Melbourne if it comes up. Boost me for eyeballs

"In an attempt to grasp and reckon with the historical moment that he was living in, #CharlesJencks, the legendary father of #postmodernism, developed Evolutionary Tree drawings. These #drawings, which are somewhere between a #diagram and a #map, laid out six ideologies that allowed him to categorize all the “-isms” of present, past, and future architectural culture.
"The exhibition #Chronograms of #Architecture showcases Jencks’ key diagrams, spanning from 1920 to 2000, along with eight newly commissioned diagrams by 8 teams of contemporary architects, researchers and graphic designers, reflecting on the historical moment that we live in today."

Just used some of this today. I have to say I was dubious about the results having been disappointed by other cleaning products like shower cleaners.

Did you know some houseplants can curb mould growth in your home by absorbing excess air moisure and purifying the air? Here are the varieties to go for...

Mushrooms, mould, mildew, yeast and lichen would all receive elevated protection under a new plan which will soon be submitted to the UN convention on biological diversity.
A guide for building mould free buildings in Tasmania. I did the drawings back in 2016 and now I’m a researcher in the field.

#Cheese lovers beware: the days of Camembert could be numbered. A lack of microbial diversity risks driving the famed French cheese to the brink of extinction. Researchers say a single #mould strain known as Penicillium camemberti, which is essential for the production of camembert, is now unable to reproduce. This has led to a collapse in its genetic make-up, threatening its survival and that of the iconic cheese along with it.
UPDATE: Okay, I'm officially chickening out on attempting to clean my #Brita #filterbottle well enough to ensure there is no more mould contamination.
As this design has otherwise met my needs and I already have several unused filters and new, uncontaminated silicone mouthpieces en route, I am going to suck it up and buy a new bottle, but add it into the rigorously-clean-each-compent cycle I do with my #CPAP.
Still, #ick.
TL;DR:
#Brita #filterbottle mouthpieces are removable from the screw-off cap.
They can grow mould in the parts that are normally snug against the cap casing.
Even if 'clean' on all visible sections of the mouthpiece, the mould may be there.
REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE online.
I've just ordered some asap for overnight delivery. Meanwhile, sterilising everything else.

Jfc. TIL that even though I diligently clean my #Brita #filterbottle's silicone straw/bite valve, turns out the entire silicone piece is removeable (non-obvious, no cleaning instructions whatsoever given beyond 'change filter each month').
Anyhow, guess what? MINE IS COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH PINK AND BLACK MOULD wherever the silicone was covered by casing.
I only realised there could be a problem becuase the head of the straw suddenly had pink mould on the rim.

Just released: A durable concrete mould for crafting large, flat planters.
https://www.printables.com/model/680059
The model files produce planters with dimensions of 300x160x60mm. The provided Fusion360 project file is adaptable within a certain range.
It might be a niche creation, but its effectiveness as a mould makes it worth sharing.
Heat, cold, pollution, noise and insects: too many apartment blocks aren’t up to the challenge
"Research shows how apartment residents struggle with the impacts of unhealthy homes. It’s a result of decades of urban planning based on fossil fuel use and high-rise building standards poorly adapted to the Australian environment."
"Our study involved residents of apartments in Liverpool CBD in New South Wales. They are exposed to particulate pollution from heavy truck movements tied to the Moorebank freight terminal, smoke from increasingly severe bushfires and a rising number of days of extreme heat each year."
"Buildings that are bad for health and sleep.This sort of housing is bad for residents’ health and wellbeing. It will also add to energy poverty for decades to come. Residents’ experiences reflect low building standards in Australia. Wanted: better regulations and development models."

So this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but - we left cooked rice in the rice cooker, and it got moldy.
I wanted to buy a new inner lid, but it's out of stock on the Zojirushi website for this model.
I was able to disassemble the inner lid into three pieces: hard plastic, metal, and (I think) silicone.
How do I clean the silicone so that I'm not going to be incubating mold spores every time I make rice? Is it possible?

Time to show a bit of love to the slime moulds.
Have you got a good shot of one? Share below, let's get a slimy thread going.
