🚨New paper: how does green space affect well-being during summer heat events?
🌳 Trees near home appear to reduce stress, but
☘️ low green, such as grass and shrubs, reduce stress and improve sleep quality!

Did you get the chance to stop by our booth -De Mini-Boerderij van de Toekomst- @nerdlandbe today? If not, make sure to do so tomorrow, and learn about the insect villains plaguing the plant kingdom and the noble insect heroes that are recruited to deal with these pesky bandits!
