It's workshop time at #AD17!! Prof O'Flaherty is on a roll!!

Trust Anna to drop some serious microbiology on these engineers at #AD17

Interested in VFA production?? Come chat to Fabiana Maria Coelho about her research during the poster session today at #AD17 :)

Optimizing VFA production with Corine Nzeteu at #AD17

Prof VOF is back and has promised anyone at #AD17 a pint if they can tell him what these biofilms are :)

Thanks Lutgarde Raskin and Adam Smith for throwing a great #AD17 conference and an even greater party!! ❤️the Galway team :)

Have you ever presented a poster in a field?? Caroline Ní Dhomhnaill has!! Check out her work on methane abatement from agricultural ruminants 🐄🐑

Mighty Microbes – Making Irish Agriculture More Sustainable impact.nuigalway.ie/news/mighty-mi…

Curious about what's happening at the VOF lab these days?? Vincent and Anna have just been featured in the #NUIGalway University magazine on how we use "Mighty Microbes" to make Irish #agriculture and waste treatment more #sustainable. Check it out! impact.nuigalway.ie/news/mighty-mi…

As the world’s population grows, how do we increase food production, reduce greenhouse gas emissions & manage waste, all at once? At the Microbial Ecology Laboratory #NUI Galway, researchers are discovering how. O'Flaherty Lab Irish Nutrient Sustainability Platform Ryan Institute @ University of Galway bit.ly/3RQJGRj

Proud to announce that the VOF lab is now officially Green Lab Certified!!! Find out more from My Green Lab, or reach out to Caroline Ní Dhomhnaill and Fabiana Maria Coelho who made it all happen for us :) Let's Go Green!!

We've told ya once that #VFAs are the future of a circular #bioeconomy, and now we've said it again :) Check out our new article hot off the press in Fermentation!! mdpi.com/1818248

A nice wrap to 2022. Got my first paper published, investigating the effects of various brown and green seaweeds on methane emissions in vitro frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…. (1/4)

Dear network, our best wishes for this new year! The organization of the 7ISEBE informs you that you still have time until the 31/01/2023 to submit your work to the congress that will take place in May in Marseille. 7isebe.sciencesconf.org Last opportunity 👏😊⏰!

⌛️😱! Last 5 days before the deadline (31/01/2023) for abstract submission 7isebe.sciencesconf.org Thanks to all the partners IMBE @MIOceanologie LBE INRAE @cerege_officiel LPED Institut Mécanique et Ingénierie IRD.fr @univamu @INEE_CNRS Laboratoire DEEP Derek Lovley O'Flaherty Lab @ietsbio3 etc.

(1) The Irish Farmers Journal in #Galway today to meet with GlasPort Bio team at Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway & on dairy farm of John Finn, Oranmore Trials, approvals & roll outs look promising for 2 methane-cutting products ⬇️

➡️ Slurry additive to cut slurry methane emissions by 80% (+locks in nutrients, cuts odour & reduces gas safety hazard) ~ farm roll out 2024 ➡️ Feed pellet to cut bovine methane by 30% (also improves performance) ~ roll out from 2024/25 Costs & detail to come Irish Farmers Journal

A busy summer of conferences for the lab!

Exciting PhD fellowship available in Rumen Microbiology as part of a collaboration with my lovely colleagues Sinead Waters #Teagasc, Sharon Huws and Fernanda Godoy Santos #QUB #universityofgalway Funded by the Global Methane Hub and Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine!
