As we had illustrated in the 1st part of The Science of Time, human understanding of the field has existed for thousands of years. But it wasn’t until the C16 and the breakthroughs which came with the scientific revolution that the concept of time would begin to be truly understood.🧵1/38

In part 3 of the Science of Time, we look at the developments which occurred in the field of time keeping, how discoveries during the scientific revolution influenced our understanding of time, how we measured it and ultimately how we entered the digital era.🧵1/26

In the first part of the Science of Time series we looked at how our early ancestors made the leap from looking at the sky above to considering its importance in the passage of time. We begin today with a more in-depth look at the work of Sosigenes, the Greek philosopher and astronomer. 🧵1/32

As we look forward to the 2026 #MaryMulvihillAward, former winner (Eoin Murphy) @beyondthelab.bsky.social begins his deep dive into this year's award theme #Time. Part 1: The Origin of Time in Ancient Human History.🧵1/30

Over the past few years, former Mary Mulvihill Award winner Eoin Murphy has run a series of longform social media posts looking at different areas of interest around the award theme. This year will be no different. Later this week he will begin his deep dive into the area of #time.

Having completed our run through of the previous 9 Mary Mulvihill Award Winners, we turn our attention to this year's rapidly approach award. Although, I suppose how quickly it is approaching depends on your view of time. The theme selected for the 2026 #marymulvihill Award was 'Time'.

The theme selected for the 9th Mary Mulvihill Award in 2025 was #Life. Due to the quality of the entries, for the first time ever, the judges selected two winners. Simran Khatri of @ucddublin.bsky.social for her excellent essay. marymulvihillaward.ie/wp-content/u... 👏👏🏆✍️📝 #students #awards

A very happy New Year to everyone from The Mary Mulvihill Association 🥳. Today we continue our run through of previous award winners. In 2024 the theme selected was #Intelligence. Evanna Winters became the 1st ever winner from @unioflimerick.bsky.social. 👏✍️🎨 marymulvihillaward.ie/wp-content/u...

From all of us here at The Mary Mulvihill Association, we hope you are having a wonderful Christmas. Today we continue are look back at the previous winners of the Mary Mulvihill Award.

As we move past the Winter Solstice of 2025, it never fails to amaze how our ancestors measured the passing of time thousands of years ago. Before what we now consider science had even been conceived, people had built a structure perfectly aligned with the movement of the sun, incredible.

The second Mary Mulvihill Award asked students from all over the island of Ireland to enter pieces on the theme, Science: Who's truth? Who's facts? Katie Carbonara was awarded the 2018 prize for her outstanding essay. marymulvihillaward.ie/.../2018-Kat.... #science #journalsim #students #Truth

As we look forward to the festive season, we we will be looking back at the previous Mary Mulvihill Award winners. The 2026 Award will mark the 10th edition. In 2017, the first winner of the Science Journalism Award was Irene Fogarty: ingeniousireland.ie/.../2010/08/...

This week marked Clean Air Week 2025 in Ireland. Over the past few years more and more studies have been published highlighting the links between poor air quality and lung related illnesses. In addition, it is believed that exposure to poor air increases the risk of cardiovascular problems.🧵1/6

As Ireland continues to recover from the aftermath of #StormEowyn , we consider how the human species has adapted throughout history. Could how life responds to a changing natural world be the subject of an entry to this year’s award? marymulvihillaward.ie/award/ #ClimateCrisis #media #student

As we take a break for at least a little while from the cold weather, its worth considering, could how organisms have and continue to respond to cold weather be the subject of an entry to this year’s Mary Mulvihill Award? marymulvihillaward.ie/award/ ⛄❄️🌡️ #life #cold #winter #student #media

As we sign off this year, we would like to wish a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones. 🎄🎅⛄❤️ For anyone who may be thinking of entering the Mary Mulvihill Award 2025, what does this year's theme 'Life' mean to you? marymulvihillaward.ie/award/ #life #space #water

As we say goodbye to Halloween or Samhain, we consider the festival in the context of this year's award theme, Life. Samhain was the division between summer and winter, but it was also when the separation between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest. 🧵💀1/4

We are delighted to announce that the theme for this year's Mary Mulvihill award will be 'Life'.🌎 The award is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in an Irish higher education institute at the time of submission. See below for details⬇️ 🧵1/2
