TResearch mag targets youth

EFFICIENT use of nutrients in the wake of the Nitrates Directive is just one of the subjects covered by the first edition of TResearch, a new magazine featuring the latest news from Teagasc’s six research centres.

One of the roles of the magazine is to attract young people to pursue careers in the research which will be a key driver of the knowledge-based Irish economy.

TResearch is supported by AIB, and is edited by Teagasc Scientific Writer/Editor Catriona Boyle.

Dr Tom O’Dwyer, Chairman of the Teagasc Authority, said: “It is now more essential than ever that Irish scientists engage in a genuine dialogue with the public so that the latter can better understand, support, and indeed challenge, the science that is being undertaken while, at the same time, helping scientists understand public interests and concerns.”
