Delighted to see the work of Agsense a @SFI funded challenge get some attention. The project is looking at innovative ways monitor potato bright.

Jerry also presented a couple of posters at World Aerobiology! This poster describes our work in Saclay, France. The WIBS 4+ real-time sensor was used for a sampling campaign to observe performance of its additional D, E, and DE particle channels.

Great work again! 🇫🇷🔬🇱🇹🍃🇮🇪

Why your hay fever is going to get worse: Pollen release is heavily dependent on weather patterns and some worrying trends have started to appear thanks to climate change, writes @Emma__Markey @DCU https://t.co/xHuVgNqtqX

Had a lot of fun deciphering the IR spectra on this one!

If you want to delve deeper into the compositional changes between pollen before and after it is released, or between pollen collected from different pollution gradients then give it a read! 🤧

If thunder warnings and high pollen forecasts over the weekend found you struggling more than usual with your hayfever then you could have experienced thunder fever! ⛈️ 🤧

So proud of our PhD students @alexavelev and @beccasmith2k14 for presenting their research into PMT/vPvM chemicals at their first conference #ENVIRON2024

[Permotox @permotox]

Huge congratulations to our PhD student @alexavelev for winning best aquatic poster at #ENVIRON2024
His poster was based on the detection of PMT chemicals in environmental samples

[Storm Emma @Emma__Markey]

A great poster from a great researcher! 😎

[Irish Bioaerosol Network @IrishBioaerosol]

We are immensely proud of @gemma_davis5 and her poster made for #Environ2024. Believe it or not, it's her first time presenting a poster!

She showed off the work she's done so far in her first year, comparing Hirst sampling with the @swisens Poleno Jupiter.
Congrats Gemma!

[Storm Emma @Emma__Markey]

Congratulations are in order for my twin brother @Gary_Markey, who passed his viva today!!! 🥳
So proud of you!!! The world is not ready for two Dr. Markeys! 😎😎
