Join Tyndall researchers for an interactive Science Week event exploring the connections between environmental science, advanced sensing technologies, water quality and biodiversity.
Discover how cutting-edge bacterial sensors are being developed to detect contaminants in our waterways, including so-called “forever chemicals” (PFAS), and learn how emerging technologies can help protect ecosystems and public health.
Get involved through hands-on citizen science activities designed to help monitor local water systems and better understand the challenges facing our natural environment.
We’re also delighted to welcome Jim Wilson, member of the Harper’s Island Wetlands steering group and volunteer with BirdWatch Ireland Cork. Jim will share the remarkable story of Harper’s Island, from its transformation into a thriving wetland habitat to its growing importance for wildlife conservation and biodiversity in Cork.
Whether you’re passionate about environmental sustainability, fascinated by STEM research, interested in local wildlife, or simply curious about the science behind water quality, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn from experts, engage with real-world research, and discover how science is helping shape a more sustainable future.
