Interesting idea... But might be worth actually addressing the pollution and congestion issues instead?

[Cork City Council @corkcitycouncil]

The 1st of our CityTrees were installed today on St Patricks St.

CityTrees help combat fine dust particle pollution &other pollution associated with traffic congestion.

Air pollution causes up to 1,300 deaths each yr, says @EPAIreland

Setting up an Irish Student Entomological Society! Will be a great opportunity for all early career entomologists to learn from each other 🐞🐛 Please RT and share to get this society up and running #Entomology #society #peerlearning @teagasc @UCDSBES

Fantastic! First women to be displayed in the iconic Long Room at @tcddublin

[Trinity College Dublin @tcddublin]

Congratulations to the artists who have been commissioned to create the first sculptural busts of women to be displayed in Trinity's beautiful Long Room: Maudie Brady, Rowan Gillespie, Vera Klute and Guy Reid @tcdlibrary https://t.co/MEGm3rZpHl

Great day out sampling #SitkaSpruce at JFK Arboretum. Collecting samples for DNA to analyse genetic diversity of sitka from Alaska to Claifornia. Thanks @TomasMByrne for the opportunity to leave the house!

[Tara O'Connor @Tara_OConnor10]

@LeonaCMurphy Completely agree. This is my first time #workingfromhome since I studied for the Leaving Cert!

[UN Women @UN_Women]

In the past 25 years, progress for women's rights has been agonizingly slow.

Here's why we need #GenerationEquality: https://t.co/jgAqn2hgUP

This is crazy! Raw data requested for 41 manuscripts during review, only 1 could provide the correct data. 19 provide insufficient or incorrect data, and 21 not providing any raw rata after requested! And of these, 14 were then published elsewhere!

[Tsuyoshi Miyakawa @tsuyomiyakawa]

My editorial paper entitled, "No raw data, no science: another possible source of the reproducibility crisis". When I feel the results are too beautiful, I requested raw data before sending it out for review. 40 out of 41 did not send me the right data.

@IW_Consulting Leaf scald on barley causes lesions on the leaf, as well as reduction in yield and gran quality. Need resistant varieties to save the beer! 🍺

[Tara O'Connor @Tara_OConnor10]

Happy #WomenInScience day! Lovely to see posts about proud women who love what they do.

I would have liked to post a picture of me at work, but all I have is endless photos of #barley leaves 😂 @UN_Women #womenandgirlsinscience

[Tara O'Connor @Tara_OConnor10]

This is very disappointing. I wonder how we are supposed to feed a rapidly growing population if we can't generate new high yielding resistant crop varieties without using tried and tested technology. 🤔🤔

Great exhibition at @SciGalleryDub on both the innovative and the destructive qualities of #plastic.
Should we label bottles with the dangers of single use plastic?
Should we enforce plastic free zones?
What are the possibilities for recycled and biodegradable plastics?

Some interesting talks lined up for #TillageCon20 today. This year's focus on minimizing risk and promoting sustainability in addressing the challenges ahead @TeagascCrops

Very informative day at @teagasc Johnstown Castle career development workshop for Walsh Fellows
