As we gear up for Boole Sounds 2026, here's a glimpse of the concerts we presented in 2025, alongside the promo posters for the concerts we're presenting this year. The response was so positive that we're delighted to bring the series back in 2026.

We’ve wrapped up our Graduate Information Literacy (PG6009) course for semester 1 – delivered over three days this week - 33 researchers attended for all 4 Colleges at @ucc.ie . It was lovely to meet you all

A classroom-style setting with multiple tables arranged in rows, where people are seated and working on laptops. At the front of the room, a presenter stands near a podium and a large projection screen displaying a slide with text and diagrams in green and purple. The walls are teal, and the ceiling has white panels with fluorescent lights. There are water bottles and notebooks on the tables, and a wooden shelving unit is visible on the left side of the room.

Fostering critical thinking can be an effective method to reduce tendency to believe in conspiracy theories according to an experimental study by psychologists in Ireland, enabling people to distinguish between plausible and implausible conspiracy theories www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Critical thinking training can reduce belief in conspiracy theories, study by UCC psychologists finds

‘Well-established programmes to counter conspiracy theories have little or no effect’
