Raising awareness, informing & educating the public on #science-related topics is an important set of skills for researchers. 👩🏫
One that the @ERC_Research is acknowledging with its 'Public Engagement with #Research Award'. 🏆
Meet the 3⃣ 2022 grantees: https://europa.eu/!4nFbrQ
🌊 Time to make our #oceans blue again!
There are up to 66 million tonnes of waste in our oceans today.
Researchers from the #EUFunded @seaclearproject are developing an #AI-based solution for cleaning up the oceans without putting humans at risk 👉 https://europa.eu/!wD7XCX
🌡️ How do erratic temperatures affect our health?
#ClimateChange is a major public health concern. A recent study by @ExhaustionH2020 reveals that temperature variability has similar impacts to #AirPollution on global mortality.

Concrete is the most used construction material & its production & transport results in large amounts of #CO2 being released.
An #EUfunded project is developing concrete from green & recycled materials.
This could lead to a greener future for construction: https://europa.eu/!hqbM8v
Remember when the eruption of the 🌋 in 🇮🇸 led to the closure of much of Europe’s airspace?
To mitigate the effects of such atmospheric events, @MitigaSolutions delivered a #HighPerformanceComputing tool to make decisions easier & outcomes more effective👉https://europa.eu/!QWRhGW
Last week we witnessed the deepest infrared image of the #Universe yet.
New techniques are unravelling the origins of the solar system.
By measuring volatile elements, scientists learn more about the Earth & Moon formation👉https://europa.eu/!qDmnqh
People today think there isn’t much left to discover on the #moon.
However, there is still much to discover about the Moon’s origins & evolution.
On #InternationalMoonDay read about an #EUfunded project that traced the solidification of the Moon’s ocean🌖https://europa.eu/!TY6d34
It’s #InternationalMoonDay 🌖and the question is: 🤔can we grow food on the Moon?
In short, yes! Scientists are growing plants in soil samples from the Moon that were brought from the @NASA Apollo missions back in the day.
Read how they manage to do it🌱https://europa.eu/!nwmhPn
🪐 Does #space fascinate you? Have you heard of neutrinos?
They're tiny, neutral subatomic particles with very little mass – so little that scientists thought it was 0⃣.
The KATRIN experiment has set a new upper limit for their mass: 0.8 electronvolts 👉 https://europa.eu/!Qg3thC
We know that we inherit features from our parents, and genetic diseases too.
🧬 Scientists can now demonstrate that our #DNA also predisposes us to severe bacterial infections.

#DYK our heart beats 100 000 times per day?🤯
❤️Although it’s like an endurance machine, it’s also affected by age, like the rest of our body.
This week we #AskAnExpert to tell us what can be done to keep our heart ticking.

To mark #WorldYouthSkillsDay, here’s a tip for #youth from an old man you may know 😉
On #WorldYouthSkillsDay it’s crucial to talk about the skills of tomorrow!
Social entrepreneur & innovation skills are needed for a #sustainable 🇪🇺.
An #Eufunded project created an educational model, improving the teaching & learning of vital skills👉https://europa.eu/!VXtR9f
Today marks #WorldYouthSkillsDay!
👩🎓Remember your classmates when you were a teenager?
Scientists have found that social bonds during this period of adolescence are linked to #MentalHealth & cognitive development!

A modern approach to #women’s healthcare may become a reality soon!
Researchers have invented a new medical device to replace conventional forceps used in gynaecological procedures for the past 100 years.
The new method offers a less painful experience👉 https://europa.eu/!v46ry8
One needs to know the past, to understand the present.
So, to explain contemporary meat consumption, the #EUfunded ZooMWest project looked to the late Bronze Age and late antiquity.
The aim is to develop #sustainable agricultural policies👉 https://europa.eu/!BVdkWB
