Big day! Delighted to launch The Trust Race - a 6 part podcast series about scandals and controversies that have affected our trust in science. The show is hosted by me & produced by @shaunandmjk. It's available on all podcast platforms podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-t…

📻Coming up on @NewstalkScience: How can we stop bacteria from attacking astronauts? Lokesh Joshi @uniofgalway will tell us. Hana Jurikova @univofstandrews will share the secrets of C02. And the latest science news with @shanedbergin & @curtisclocklab. 🎙️Sunday 12pm @NewstalkFM

Day two of the Young Scientist at the RDS. Looking forward to speaking with students from across Ireland today who have entered in the ‘chemistry, physics & maths’ category

Looking forward to speaking to young people from around the country at BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 2025 as judging kicks off this afternoon. A real highlight of my academic year

Delighted to receive a copy of this book on “spaces of mental health and wellbeing” in the post. The wonderful Dr Sheena Hyland and I contributed a chapter on how the university as a lived space shapes students’ experiences and understandings of distress.

Looking forward to chatting to Claire Byrne on @RTERadio1 in the next few minutes about the science Santy might be using to get the job done!

How might Santy fit down the chimney? How fast does he need to travel? How many presents do the elves have to make? And might weather affect his journey? Tune to @RTERadio1 this Friday morning: I’ll be chatting to Claire Byrne.

Thrilled to start a new role today as Assistant Professor in mental health in the Department of Psychology, @MaynoothUni. I look forward to working with new colleagues and continuing my teaching and research in mental health, belonging and hermeneutic phenomenology.

@AdrianAmcgold Many thanks, Adrian!

@shanedbergin @JohnnyMurtagh @Franmberry Thanks so much Shane. I love your radio interviews - fascinating.

Reunion of my team from the former Moorfield Medical Centre. A brilliant team who are irreplaceable. ⁦@JohnnyMurtagh⁩ ⁦@Franmberry⁩

We are so fortunate to have a national broadcaster like @rte - glued to it all day #GE2024

Lots of happy faces and festive wear on campus today as UCD students mark the end of term and their ‘Christmas day’

@ElecCommIRL hi. I have a question about transfers. If the candidate I gave my 1st pref vote for is eliminated and my 2nd pref candidate had been eliminated previously, does my vote transfer to my 3rd preference?

Such a lovely day at Áras an Uachtaráin for the Gasice gold awards ceremony. President Higgins’ words were inspirational. Was delighted to speak to award recipients and hear about their experiences.

Congratulations to Nicola Tuthill. All of us at UCD are so proud of her

@FeachIreland @gaston_mccarthy @newstalkscience Despite the drenchings, we have great adventures on our free runs

@gaston_mccarthy Heard you mentioned on @newstalkscience today. @shanedbergin seems to have a certain bee in his bonnet about you!

We had great fun recording a special episode of @newstalkscience for Science Week! Tune in now on Newstalk FM, or find on your podcast feed. Thanks @jonathan_mccrea, @AidanMcKelvey and @shanedbergin

Delighted to be back in @tcddublin tonight to speak on behalf of the sciences in the ‘lift raft’ debate at The Phil. Congratulations to our arts colleagues on their victory including @quiteclare . Note to self: Never get in to a debate with a philosopher

@EugenesDIYDen Fantastic! Just keep digging:)

The instruction manual for my ill-fated attempt to dig to Australia as a six year old!
