- This episode is brought to you by Research Ireland in celebration of Science Week, in which I chatted with Professor Afif El-Khuffash. I'm lucky enough to have spoken with Afif on many occasions about his work as a consultant neonatologist and lactation consultant. He speaks powerfully about the vulnerability parents experience with their newborns, and also explains the role water plays in all of our lives.
Science Week is Ireland’s national celebration of science, with hundreds of events held nationwide every November.
Science Week takes place this year from 8th – 15th November
