Biodiversity comes in many forms, some of which aren't always visible, but their importance in keeping ecosystems functional and healthy is clear.

Delighted to have my letter in the The Irish Times. We’re producing impact measured, gap filling, specification enhancing programmes that can make learning more applicable and accessible to students! if only there was proper space and acknowledgement of them in the curriculum. 🤷♀️
💡 Did you know that nematodes are little worms highly abundant in forests, grasslands, and agricultural soils? In fact, they are among the most numerous soil organisms, with densities reaching up to 3 to 4 million per square meter. 🪱

Had a MAGNIFICENT meal in Neighbourhood in Naas last night. Gareth Naughton has created a special place with lovely staff, great atmosphere & fabulous food. Honestly wanted to taste everything but settled on the Foie gras to start & the venison main. Best. Christmas. Meal. Ever.
Super farmers talking about super food. The #farmertime programme educating the future ag scientists with info directly from the source. #invaluable .
The annual exhibition of Christmas cards from the Airfield Estate archive is now on display in Maynooth University Library 🎄 These beautiful cards were sent to members of the Overend family, from friends and family, date from 1860-1984.
Looking forward to a fantastic night Overends Kitchen in Airfield Estate. To quote Jess K A I “Coming to Airfield and working with Gather & Gather Ireland is like wearing your favourite pair of pants”. Can’t get higher praise than that!!!
