Delighted to speak about my children’s book ‘The Experimenters - Luke and Ruby’s Scientific Sleepover’ on Ireland AM. Plenty of cosy science activities for a mid-term break! www.littleisland.ie/products/the...

My new children’s book is available in bookshops from today! Join Luke and Ruby in ‘The Experimenters’ on cosy adventures where you think, test, & experiment like a real scientist. It’s been so much fun working with with illustrator Sayani Mukherjee & publisher @littleislandbooks.bsky.social

It is such an honour to have been elected as fellow of the @apsphysics.bsky.social (American Physical Society). Many thanks to them for inviting me to speak about public engagement with science at the conference of 15,000 physicists in California.

In this week’s ‘Why Trust Science’ module at UCD, we ask why mask wearing became contentious for some during the pandemic. We explore the complex relationships between scientists and politicians and ask what have we learned. Listen along to the associated podcast open.spotify.com/episode/3tN0...

What a week to start teaching a module titled ‘Why Trust Science?’. With students from right across the university, we will explore trust, expertise, socio-scientific issues, and how we can collectively respond.

Fantastic day with undergraduate students from UCD and Trinity College at the National Concert Hall as we kick off the 2025 season of Quavers to Quadratics - a programme that sees children play with ideas common to science and music

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.

‘I don’t think you understand what guide dogs do’. Gaston, the guide dog, suggests I read my own map on the Wicklow hills

Such an honour to join the Council of Gaisce - the President’s Award. Its call for ‘young people to dream big and fulfil their potential’ is one I look forward to supporting

Another year of great questions from children on how Santy does it all. Busy working to figure out if science might offer clues. I’ll be on RTE’s Claire Byrne programme this coming Monday morning to share what I’ve found . Ho Ho Ho

Four-legged, waggly-tailed, listeners to RTE radio might have a ear to the radio in the next few minutes. I’ll be talking about dogs and how science is helping us learn about our oldest pet.

Had a great two days with education leaders at the NAPD (National Association of Principals & Deputy Principals) conference- so many rich conversations about the forthcoming citizens’ assembly on the future of education.
