An exciting and emotional day for me! I'm super lucky to have had the best supervisor and lab group. I can honestly say that I loved my PhD 🥳🐝🌼 – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
A huge congratulations to the wonderful @aoreilly28 who successfully defended her PhD today. Alison has been working on bees and pesticides, from the field to the lab, at @ucdagfood, @_Rosemount and @UCDEarth as part of @SUSPOLL_ire. Very well deserved! #proudsupervisor

It's been an amazing 4 years working with Dara and I'm super proud of the finished product! – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
A huge congratulations to @aoreilly28 who submitted her PhD yesterday. Alison has been looking at pesticides & beneficials in agroecosystems, with a special focus on widely used insecticides and implications for bee behaviour & pollination. Great job Alison! #proudsupervisor

Interesting talk by @aoreilly28 from @SUSPOLL_ire group talking about her work on crop management of mass flowering crops with higher risk to pollinators in later flowering crops. @AABiologists @RoyEntSoc @bes_aeg pollinator meeting 2022

I really enjoyed giving my talk at #ICE2022 today! – at Helsinki, Finland
LIVE from #ICE2022: @aoreilly28 and her team at the @SUSPOLL_ire project conducted a test on effect of two commonly used insecticides on commercial #bumblebee colonies. What would be the short- and long-term consequences on foraging behaviour & #pollination services. #Hymenoptera

It can be a long road to become a scientist, but can be a lot of fun on the way! @aoreilly28 was inspired by her bee net and never looked back! It can be used to research bees..but also ward of snakes and protect from bears! @ucdagfood @UCDEarth @SUSPOLL_ire #soapboxsciencedublin
