Great to be part of Circular Economy Hotspot Dublin 2023, with Brian Freeland giving a great overview of the Grain-4-Lab project!

It looks likely that we'll reach 1.5°C of warming in the next 5 years. It's a good reminder that we need to push for change. Here's an interesting article breaking down the science behind the heat: theconversation.com/global-warming…

Thrilled to be at HEA #HCIPillar3 today discussing all the great work Grain-4-Lab does!

Fantastic article here from Jennie. In such a relatively short time we've gone from no plastics at all to the position we find ourselves today

Very proud that our article in Sustainability is now available to read here! mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/2… Dublin City University DCU School of Biotechnology DCUPhysics DCU Nursing, Psychotherapy & Community Health DCU School of Chemical Sciences

Getting ready for the DCU Science and Health "Plastic: Friend or Foe" event for #ScienceWeek in Dublin City University tomorrow morning, with ***enormous*** support from DCU School of Chemical Sciences Technical Staff. Tiny, compostable, 3D-printed Christmas tree, anyone? 🎄🤩🥼

So great to be at this DCU Biodesign Europe event where Keith Rochfort and Brian Freeland got to speak about the exciting work being done at Grain-4-Lab!

It's #EarthDay and the theme for 2024 is "Planet vs. Plastics"🌎 Grain 4 Lab has plastic and waste in its sights as it aims to reduce single-use plastic waste and water consumption from laboratories by providing a sustainable bioplastic alternative. See:sfi.ie/research-news/…

Well done to Hannah McDonnell for winning the third-year student category award DCUPhysics Research Day 2024 and for her fantastic work during her INTRA placement with Grain-4-Lab!

In collaboration with RCSI Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, the Grain 4 Lab team and I are inviting applications for a PhD scholarship exploring sustainable solutions to hospital plastic waste. More information on this project and others can be found below. 🗓️Closing date for applications is May 31st
