Pesticide residues are found in nectar and soils. But are there implications for bees, and what can we do to help? Read on to find out more from the PROTECTS project in Ireland! protects.ucd.ie/ vimeo.com/788284760/97ec9d87… 1/16

As we are not recognised as workers, we have no access to sick leave, maternity leave or PRSI contributions.
The additional discriminatory barriers faced by non-EU PGRs (IRP, mandatory health insurance etc.) place further burdens on an already precarious group of people.

WE’VE HAD ENOUGH!!! WE ARE WORKERS NOT STUDENTS! PGRS DESERVE BETTER!!!

Check out our just released news piece to get to know what we are doing in the WATERUN European project to tackle #environment #pollution and about our #sensors team @DCUWater @DCUChemistry @EU_Waterun!
Dublin City University’s WATERUN team talk to us about PAHs and microplastic and their expertise in the development of sensors to detect them. Dr. Vázquez and Prof. Regan also present us the young talents recruited to contribute to the project. 👋

It was a total luxury having @Mathavan_DCU presenting his research on pesticides to our 4th years in Analytical Sience and Environmental Science & Technology today @DCUFSH @DCUChemistry. Excellent lecture on challenges faced when developing analytical protocols in real samples!
