🐝NEW RESEARCH🐝

Are bumblebees impacted by low doses of #glyphosate?

Are there differences in exposure to glyphosate alone and formulations like those used in #agriculture, gardens, and parks?

My name is Bernard, living in Ireland. I have stage 4 stomach cancer. My medical consultants recommend Immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite best scientific and clinical evidence, my Irish healthcare insurer won't fund this. Am I alone?

[Fund Immunotherapy Ireland @FundImmuno]

Today was the "soft-launch" of our media campaign to get all Irish health insurers fund cancer immunotherapy #FundImmuno . I have been overwhelmed with the support (over 5000 shares in a day, just on LinkedIn). Thank you. @LayaHealthcare do us right!

@SLarragy @JimCarolanMU Never! But goodbye to our Carolan lab and our office/apartment! :')

[Merissa Cullen @MerissaCullen]

It was a bittersweet day!
I'm so proud of myself and @SLarragy for making it through our PhDs, but so sad to say goodbye!

I had the most supportive supervisor @JimCarolanMU and made a life-long friend in Sarah. You both taught me so much about research, life, and friendship 🩷

[Merissa Cullen @MerissaCullen]

@SLarragy @JimCarolanMU @agriculture_ie @ProtectsProject @DaraStanley @MUHost_Path @MU_bio_school A major thank you to everyone else @MaynoothBiology for your kindness and support. Admin staff, technical staff, fellow PhD students, faculty members, and fellow post-grad, summer school, and @MU_AthenaSwan committee members, I had a fantastic experience.

[Merissa Cullen @MerissaCullen]

@SLarragy @JimCarolanMU Thank you to @agriculture_ie for funding my research with @ProtectsProject, and @DaraStanley for her quality co-supervision! Thank you also to @MUHost_Path for always supporting my extra-curricular endeavours with @MU_bio_school and the post-grad committee! #PhDone

I'm looking for a hub in the West of Ireland to deliver some of the @Stempassport to girls in local schools. We want a big room with moveable desks that holds 50 people we have the technology we just need the space. Get in touch if you have somewhere!

[Jim Carolan @JimCarolanMU]

End of an era. The two @CarolanLab Sisters, @MerissaCullen & @SLarragy came back to submit their hardbound theses. Started and ended together.

The lab & @MaynoothBiology will definitely miss you both. #LoveIrishResearch #bees #pesticides #pollinators #BeeThreaths #biodiversity
