Great interview with Material Scientist (and NC State Alum) Jacob Papazekos, on what it's like to work at Simplifyber:
Check out this article if you want to hear me talking about loving my job, polymer chemistry, sustainability, and the textile industry! Special thanks to Kaylee Jacobs for taking the time to interview me and get the word out about Simplifyber! (https://lnkd.in/eCGk9rya)

Here's the first look at the new SIMPLIFYBER x GANNI "Moon Shoe" collaboration, launched yesterday at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025! These shoe uppers started as a liquid of cellulose fibers, poured into a 3D mold using SIMPLIFYBER's patented additive manufacturing process, which reduces environmental impact by up to 33x compared with conventional shoe uppers. #ganni #fabricsofthefuture #sustainablefashion

More buildings should be built with natural materials. Here's a great presentation on how to do it, and why it's important:
More people should know about straw bale construction for buildings. It's natural, super energy-efficient and waste free. It also looks really cool and you can even build a lot of it yourself. The technique doesn't get much attention because there isn't a huge industry behind it (there's no "Big Straw"). Here's an excellent lecture about it: https://lnkd.in/euN4ACpV #climatetech #naturalarchitecture #strawbaleconstruction #climatesolutions
