Must have been interesting to get so many turn up in the Visitors Centre in the Phoenix Park on such a ☔️🌧️☔️ night @ScienceWeek 🌛🌟🌌👏

If you have time to spare the IAS are exhibiting some magnificent astronomical photographs at the visitor centre in the Phoenix Park. irishastrosoc.ie/event/ias-as.... We are delighted to be showcasing the talent of Irish astrophotographers. The exhibit will run throughout November.

I had a very enjoyable evening explaining the delights of the night sky to the local ICA chapter. Astronomy is for everyone!! themoon.ie

I was very honoured to receive my medal of office tonight as President of the Irish Astronomical Society from past president Mick McCreary. As a society we have big plans to bring the joys of astronomy to more and more people. I’m looking forward to the adventures ahead

#Givingback even if you can’t reach the drumlins of Monaghan this w/end, if you’d like to donate to supporting life-saving brain surgeries at National Neurosurgery Beaumont, it’d be much appreciated. Every € directly helps give the next patient a better chance of surviving too 🙏 (RT appreciated)

Really enjoyed welcoming, to the Royal Irish Academy, our @TrinityCollegeDublin Vice Provost Prof Orla Sheils and Prof Jane Farrar (missed photos), and other very well deserving colleagues Prof Annette Byrne @rcsi.bsky.social and Prof Abhay Pandit @universityofgalway.bsky.social Congrats All 👏👏👏

I can’t put it in my window, as per tradition, but it is lighting to remember those who can’t come home, for those who have no home and for those forced from their homes throughout this year. We don’t know how lucky we are with our comfort, food, luxuries.

At 3:02 pm today 21.12.24 (Irish time) we will be at winter mid point. From this point onwards we will start the slow journey out of winter. Today is a very short day but from now on we will be talking about the stretch in the evening. 😂

Delighted to engage with the OECI Accrediation Team, to present TSJCI Cancer Insitute Research, and discuss progress, on behalf of many colleagues @tcddublin.bsky.social and @stjameshospital; all working together for a better outcome for every patient with cancer @gerryhanna.bsky.social

While I find my way around #Bluesky and find people, my first post might as well be one of the boss, Newton 🐶💙
