“Changing farming practices is a challenge, but transformation is already happening and much more is possible.” - Ecologist @JessKnapp24 advocates for a nuanced approach to #pesticidereduction that empowers farmers to innovate in @ConversationUK

Pesticides can be sustainably reduced, but this requires an approach that reconciles the seemingly conflicting goals of food production, environmental protection, biodiversity and human health. https://t.co/0Z2Z3mbQYi
Our work on how bumble bee colonies are affected by landscape pesticide exposure is out in the current issue along with other interesting paper on related “Insects at risk” topics, though the bumble bee on the cover is really weird looking… https://t.co/YyeiffKWij

So much fun teaching @TCD_NatSci#Entomology students some of the methodology behind our papers. Here we're dissecting bumblebee colonies just like we did in our recent @Nature paper. Yes we found males 🐝 and yes we're sticky 🍯 https://t.co/CppNKXbm6d
Always a pleasure to have a visit from @collieennis and his beautiful arthropods. This one even managed to sneak its way into my Entomology course, and happily, because look how cool it is! 🤩

This piece is already proving its timeliness given the fiasco of the EU Green Deal right now. The targets and their pathways weren't perfect (or even fully formed), but we need progression for people and biodiversity, not regression 🚜🐝
"If our loved ones are in ill-health, at risk of collapse, we’d do everything in our power to help them recover. We need to do the same for the rest of life on earth": Astute comment piece on biodiversity by @JaneCStout in today's Irish Times https://t.co/whGmMJNpxs
Delighted to see our @Nature paper in the @ConversationUK 🐝🐝 Pesticides are stunting bumblebees across Europe 🐝 🐝 Could this be the future of monitoring pesticides and their effects on non-target species? We hope so. https://t.co/x6Zz0PmK50
In case (like me) you missed the Irish Pollinator Research Network meeting, here's the low-down on what went down! Some really cool science.

🐝 Pesticide use continues to harm bumblebees, underscoring the need for more oversight.
These findings follow the @Europarl_EN’s failure to pass legislation that aimed to halve the use of pesticides by 2030.
