Description | Noa Simón Delso became Scientific Director and Project Manager at BeeLife at the beginning of 2021. She holds a PhD in Agricultural Science and Bioengineering from the Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium), an MSc in Economy, Management and Consumer Studies from Wageningen University (the Netherlands) and she is a DVM from the University of León (Spain). In her scientific career, Noa has specialised in environmental toxicology, particularly on bees, environmental policy and honey bee health, fields in which she has published several papers in peer-reviewed international journals in the field of environmental research, health and toxicology. In 2019 she started diversifying her activities, evolving towards the implementation of data science to pollinators health. In parallel, she has provided technical assistance to Belgian and European beekeepers and decision makers. Since 2009, she has advised in scientific-technical dossiers to the European organisation BeeLife, following the evolution and implementation of European legislation on the subject of pesticide authorisation, agricultural and environmental policy. During this time, she developed great expertise in the regulatory framework and policies related to pollinator health and conservation. More on: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Noa-Simon-Delso |
