The first of two special episodes from the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition in Dublin in January 2020. 


Kaye Burgess - a molecular microbiologist based at Teagasc Food Research Centre in Ashtown - describes her work helping to develop a range of farm practices that can combine to minimise antimicrobial resistance.

Luis Lopez-Sangil - a soil scientist based at Teagasc Johnstown Castle - talks about how soil can provide us with a win-win of reducing carbon emissions and improving soil quality and crop yields.

André Brodkorb - a food chemist based at the Teagasc Food Research Centre in Moorepark - talks about his work developing laboratory models that simulate human digestion to add value to foods and reduce environmental impacts.
