Great to see our @QuantumFreshWtr @NERCscience pathogens lead, Davey Jones @bangorsoil cited in the excellent @guardian article by @WATERSHED_i @RachSalv on pollution causes and consequences in Lough Neagh... cattle as “pathogen bioreactors on four legs” theguardian.com/environment/…

Great to see team Quantum hosting a successful event to get input from their stakeholders. The project examines the impact of livestock farming on the quality of water in our rivers.
The @QuantumFreshWtr team welcomed a diverse range of Government, industry, farming and freshwater organisations to our Stakeholder event. Great discussions and exchange of ideas on livestock farming as a driver of changing quality in UK rivers and how to mitigate its impacts!

Microbial movement into soils occurs at a surprisingly local scale. By measuring dispersal rates and spatial patterns, this study challenges the assumption that microbes freely mix across environments.
