@niamh_e_curran Aw thanks 😊

[Teagasc @teagasc]

As part of the initiative to keep pupils learning in a fun and innovative way, Teagasc has started a YouTube series called “Science Experiments at Home”, watch @KatieHether93 create a Water Rainbow and show how magic Milk is. #STEMeducation https://t.co/tIBYiiEjUH

Soo... how's everyone doing while #WorkingatHome ? Co-worker has no repsect for my productivity.

@Rubberbandits O'Brians offlisence do delivery. Was the only way to get stonewell cider outside cork for a while 😄

[Matt O'Brien @matt_obrien]

just a reminder that if your fellow self quarantining neighbors are being too loud you might be able to connect to their Bluetooth speaker

@Rubberbandits Trains are usually the better bet. Unless there's a few leaves. Then you're screwed 😂

Children fascinated by our insects @CorkDiscovers made @IrishTimes Images of the Weekend list.

#notjustforkids Adults making leaf cubes at @CorkDiscovers in @UCC on Friday. @Stomatal_2019

[Katie Hetherington @KatieHether93]

If anyone wants to come look at some manky potatoes for @CorkDiscovers , be sure to come up to the second floor of UCC! @TeagascCrops

@MichaelFTDay @CorkDiscovers @TeagascCrops @Stomatal_2019 Thanks 😊 @TomasMByrne came up with them. Found a template on Google images and then edited with PowerPoint

[Katie Hetherington @KatieHether93]

Looking forward to
@CorkDiscovers

tomorrow! The team from
@TeagascCrops

have worked hard to design Teagasc-style pokemon cards and have an interactive plant disease event in the Muscraí room of UCC at 5.30. You can also make a leaf cube at our crafts table!

@johnspink18 @CorkDiscovers @TeagascCrops @Stomatal_2019 Thanks, @TomasMByrne was the one behind it

[Frauke Fedderwitz @FFedderwitz]

So happy about how the bruchid beetle display turned out. Want to see more cool bugs? Visit our insect stand @CorkDiscovers tomorrow! @moffat_aisling @teagasc

[Rainer Melzer @UCDflowerpower]

Lots of good arguments for working with plants by @annaliisalaine:
Not ethical restrictions, you can clone them, they don't run away.

[Katie Hetherington @KatieHether93]

Really inspiring talk today from @feuilletcathy on how far plant breeding technologies have come, and how there needs to be a focus on collaboration and changes in regulation to tackle complex traits that matter in modern food production
#npnextgen

[Katie Hetherington @KatieHether93]

Great talks at the first day of New Phytologist at UCD!
In particular the mechanism of petal patterns, and looking at a CRISPR toolkit to facilitate wheat genome editing #npnextgen

[Tara O'Connor @Tara_OConnor10]

Great day yesterday at @teagasc open day, out with winter barley talking about how we can generate novel sources of resistance in barley against Rhynchosporium

@dianabucur20 Well done Diana, you deserved it!

[Aisling Moffat @moffat_aisling]

Only mild sunburn today :)) thanks to everyone who came for a chat and signed up for fieldwork next year 💪🏻 #success #CropsAndSpreaders
