Pesticide residues are found in nectar and soils. But are there implications for bees, and what can we do to help? Read on to find out more from the PROTECTS project in Ireland! protects.ucd.ie/ vimeo.com/788284760/97ec9d87… 1/16
📢Exciting news! Our study on pesticide contamination in Irish soils is featured in the Irish Independent! 🇮🇪
Check out the news article link: independent.ie/irish-news/st…

🌱 Our study is just the beginning of soil pesticide research in Ireland. Our research will serve as a foundation, but future studies will need to explore a wider range of compounds, pesticide persistence dynamics, and address the potential risks of pesticide contamination
📰✨ I am very grateful and thrilled for the opportunity to share our research on pesticide contamination in Irish soils with @Independent_ie. Massive thanks to @BlanaidWhiteDCU, @JimCarolanMU, @DCU, @DCUFSH and research funder @agriculture_ie !🎉🎉🎉

PhDone! Yesterday was the day that I always envisioned in my mind for the past 4 years...It is very official now!
A massive thank you to my supervisors @BlanaidWhiteDCU and @JimCarolanMU, and the @ProtectsProject team for their continuous support!

As we are not recognised as workers, we have no access to sick leave, maternity leave or PRSI contributions.
The additional discriminatory barriers faced by non-EU PGRs (IRP, mandatory health insurance etc.) place further burdens on an already precarious group of people.

WE’VE HAD ENOUGH!!! WE ARE WORKERS NOT STUDENTS! PGRS DESERVE BETTER!!!

Check out our just released news piece to get to know what we are doing in the WATERUN European project to tackle #environment #pollution and about our #sensors team @DCUWater @DCUChemistry @EU_Waterun!
Dublin City University’s WATERUN team talk to us about PAHs and microplastic and their expertise in the development of sensors to detect them. Dr. Vázquez and Prof. Regan also present us the young talents recruited to contribute to the project. 👋
