BRAINWAVES Project

Brainwaves has finished! We would like to wish all of our followers a very Happy Christmas & Best Wishes for 2024 🎄. If you would like to keep up to date with #duckweed research in Prof. Marcel Jansen’s group, you can do this by following @PLANTS_UCC.

📢SAVE THE DATE: The 7th International Conference on Duckweed Research and Application will be held on 13 – 16 November 2024 in Bangkok. For further info see ruduckweed.org

Last night we had a proper goodbye to one of the nicest project teams! Celebrating the end of the very successful @BrainwavesEU project with a drink and a laugh. Thanks to all who worked on this #duckweed project. Of course the work continues with the #DuckFeedProject!

👂Listen back to @BrainwavesEU Principal Investigator Prof Marcel Jansen on RTE Radio 1 News at One talking about how climate change is negatively affecting the hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic. #irelandwales #duckfeed rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

Watch our latest video 🎦➡️ ucc.ie/en/brainwaves/… demonstrating how the technologies we developed @BrainwavesEU to cultivate #duckweed🌱are now being scaled up and moving to real world settings on farms 🚜 #Scienceweek #IrelandWales #circulareconomy

📢To celebrate #scienceweek we are delighted to share our video showing how the technologies we developed in the laboratory to cultivate #duckweed 🌱is now progressing to be used on farms #IrelandWales @PLANTS_UCC @uccBEES @farmersjournal @ellamcsweeney youtu.be/t5JEyABcJ2s

@BrainwavesEU Professor Marcel Jansen spoke about the potential of #duckweed as a sustainable protein source at #BioFarm2023. Thanks to the @NatOrgSkill for organising this fantastic event. #nots #IrishBioeconomy @IrelandWales @PLANTS_UCC @uccBEES @UCCResearch @SEFSUCC

Congratulations to Dr @Neil_Coughlan_ who has been awarded funding from @scienceirel and @IrishResearch. Neil's research will optimise remediation of wastewaters derived from the agri-food sector. ucc.ie/en/news/2023/r… @UCCResearch

Congratulations👏to Gruff Jones on publication of @BrainwavesEU work showing that acidification helps duckweed🌱to remove nutrients from slurry. #EUIrelandWales @wefowales @PLANTS_UCC #circulareconomy @SouthernAssembl @uccBEES @eriucc @SEFSUCC sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢Brainwaves has come to an end! Diolch, go raibh maith agaibh & thank you to all involved! The project pioneered a #CicularEconomy model in farming which uses waste water to grow protein-rich animal feed while at the same time cleaning the water.🌱#EUIrelandWales #duckfeed

Irish company, Emerald have developed a process for extracting protein from #duckweed for use in aquaculture and animal feed. #circulareconomy #EUIrelandWales @wefowales #DuckFeedProject @SouthernAssembl @PLANTS_UCC agriland.ie/farming-news/d… #agriland

📢As our #EUIrelandWales funding is coming to an end soon, we have been busy making a video📹of our exciting journey cultivating duckweed from ‘lab to farm’. We look forward to sharing the video soon. Watch this space! @wefowales #DuckFeedProject #CircularEconomy

Great interest in the tour of the duckweed facilities at the stakeholder workshop on Monday. Thank you to all travelling to attend, and for all the great questions asked! #DuckFeedProject #duckweed #circulareconomy

Great day spent with local dairy farmers at our informal stakeholder engagement event @UCCBEES 👏 to all who attended & to those who gave 👍 presentations. Fantastic interest in developing & integrating #duckweed cultivation in Irish farming 🚜#EUIrelandWales #DuckFeedProject

@ellamcsweeney did you know #duckweed can be grown on farm waste water, cleaning the water before it enters our rivers, while also retaining nitrogen and phosphorous from which protein-rich animal feed can be produced. ucc.ie/en/brainwaves #EUIrelandWales @wefowales

✨Exciting opportunity in #UCC for a #postdocjobs on the @IMPRESS_EU project. @eriucc @uccBEES Closing Date: 24th August 2023 Details below 👇 ucc.ie/en/plantstress… #CircularEconomy #HorizonEurope #jobfairy

📢Exciting new funded PhD opportunity @uccBEES to work on helping agriculture become more sustainable. #EUIrelandWales @wefowales #DuckFeedProject #circulareconomy @SouthernAssembl @eriucc @UCCResearch @PLANTS_UCC @SEFSUCC

✨ Great to see some more publicity on our recently successful #Duckweed Workshop @UCC in the current edition of the Duckweed Forum newsletter 👇#EUIrelandWales #erdf @SouthernAssembl @wefo

📢 #ICYMI …listen to Brainwaves Dylan Gwynn Jones on ‘Farming Today’ BBC Radio 4 talking about growing duckweed as a source of protein for animal feed 🌱 #EUIrelandWales Listen here from 5.02 sec: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
