Could we *be* 🐝 anymore proud??

A belated congratulations to Sarah Larragy for winning our Researcher of the Year Award 2024!

Sarah is a post-doc under Jane Stout at TCD. She is focused on the restoration of pollinators in agricultural landscapes, as part of a large European project: RestPoll

Is continuous batch production the solution to help us scale bioplastics? 🧪 💚

This is one of the questions we explored when we hosted the Bioeconomy Forum on Tuesday. A tour of our Biomanufacturing and Biotechnology Suite preceded the session. Looking forward to the next meeting!

How will the US 🇺🇸 develop its #bioeconomy given recent sensitivity around climate rhetorics 🤐 🌎 ?

Dr. Jay Golden visited from Syracuse University to give this keynote for BiOrbic's Annual Away Day. Do we focus on bio-based rather than 'green' or 'climate friendly'? Emphasise jobs and innovation?
