Science on Screen is a public engagement initiative run by @CURAMdevices & @ardan_ie with partners @UniofGalway
🖼️👩🎨 As part of the upcoming Science Week 2023, an exhibition by Irish artist Vincent Devine entitled ‘The Vitruvian: Uncovering the Layers of Cancer’ will be on display in Dublin and Offaly. Inspired by the iconic drawing of ‘The Vitruvian Man’ by artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent has created a striking image of an androgynous human to visually map the different perspectives and approaches that researchers use to understand cancer at molecular, cellular, tissue and human levels. Having met with 15 cancer researchers, technical staff and patient voice partners, they explored how cancer affects patients and their families, how research undertaken in the UCD Conway Institute may ultimately help patients, and how technology platforms within the Institute support this research. The exhibition will include derivative and interactive components that sit alongside the main work to delve deeper and explore specific cancer research areas. The derivative components are the artist’s interpretation of the research while the interactive components are scientific objects relating to ongoing research. Together, the work depicts the journey of cancer cells through the body alongside the human experience of cancer. 🔗 sfi.ie/research-news/…
'The People There to Catch Us’ 📺 | Catch this insightful show on RTE November 13th , which tells the story of Tom Hope and Rachel O’Mahony, two cancer patients who work alongside researchers at CÚRAM, SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices at University of Galway and Precision Oncology Ireland, led from University College Dublin, to help improve the lives of others living with the disease. RTÉ will broadcast a special documentary shining a light on the lived experience of cancer patients, their contribution to research and the ongoing work of research centres that will shape how cancer will be treated in the future. ‘The People There to Catch Us’ was produced in collaboration with Precision Oncology Ireland and the Patient Voice in Cancer Research and funded by CÚRAM, the All-Island Cancer Research Institute, the UCD-Welcome Institutional Strategic Support Fund and the National Breast Cancer Research Institute. The documentary, facilitated by Ardán, produced by Ronan Cassidy of Carbonated Comet and directed by Luke Brabazon, will be screened at 8pm on Monday November 13 on RTE 1.

Polymer Pyramid Puzzle DYK, that there are lots of natural polymers that can be found in the ocean? Two examples are alginate from seaweed and chitosan from the shells of crabs. ☆SarahGundy #polymerchains #medtech @CURAMdevices @scienceirel
