Fantastic new contract researcher position within our group. Focus on fermented foods, microbiology/microbiomes and animal studies
A panel will be formed from which other similar, upcoming roles may be filled. Applications by midday (Irish time) Oct 6th topjobs-teagasc.thehirelab.com/LiveJobs/Job...

Hard to pick out one in particular as there are so many advances across different areas…though I do have a particular interest in applying fermented food related microbes to enhance health

The Truth About Fermented Foods & Microbes | Straight Talking Science Ep. 1 (ft. Prof. Paul Cotter) Straight Talking Science · Episode

It was a pleasure to be the first guest on Straight Talking Science with Barry Skillington-Atlantia Clinical Trials where we chatted about #microbes, #microbiomes, #fermented #foods and #health including our research at @teagasc.bsky.social @seqbiome.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/2jVf...

The SportGenix program measures samples at multiple time points.
✅ Baseline
✅ Post-intervention
✅ Discretionary time point
This means better insights, smarter improvements, and real results.
