Huge congrats to Doireann O'Leary Brennan @uccchemistry @eriucc on being awarded an @IrishResearch Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship #LoveIrishResearch #GOI2023 @EPAIreland
A few more thoughts on the possibility of life beyond Earth. All these thoughts are guesses. The lack of firm evidence for alien intelligence (so far) is sometimes called the Fermi Paradox, and it is a paradox. Put simply, there has been over 10 billion years and there are many…
Congratulations to my PhD student @EadaoinCasey @uccchemistry on her PhD graduation today👩🏼🎓Wishing you all the best for your bright future!
Loads of fun at the Cork Carvinal of Science! Thanks to everyone @uccchemistry especially all our students for helping out to put on a great display 🧪🥼👩🏻🔬 @corkcitycouncil @scienceirel
Congratulations to Rebecca Henry @uccchemistry on her Royal Society of Chemistry Undergraduate Research Bursary Award. Rebecca will be working on catalysis for the #CircularEconomy @RoySocChem
