Pint of Science Ireland

In this episode of the Pint of Science Ireland Podcast, Conall speaks with Dr. Virginia Morera-Pujol, Ad Astra Assistant Professor at the School of Agriculture at University College Dublin. They explore the role of badger conservation in the Irish ecosystem, the challenges badgers can present to bovine TB epidemiology, and the wider impact on Irish agriculture. Most importantly, they discuss the scientific approaches currently being developed to address this complex issue. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Pint of Science Ireland, Anastasia speaks with Dr. Cristhiane Favero de Aguiar, a postdoctoral fellow at Trinity College Dublin. Listen in as they delve into the world of immunometabolism, discussing the differing metabolism of immune cells, the difficulty in studying complex systems and the misconceptions of immunology and metabolism in media.

In this podcast, Paul from the Pint of Science Ireland Podcast Team, chats with Dr. Eoin Syron from the University College of Dublin. They discuss chemical engineering concepts such as "green molecules for green energy", one of Dr. Syron's research topics of interest. They also converse about research methods, scale up of sustainable energy systems and Ireland's current energy systems!

Eoin compares chemical engineering to making a giant cup of tea! This is a brilliant analogy describing the workings of a chemical engineer in a relatable way. We hope you enjoy the podcast as we jump from "what does a chemical engineer do?" to "green molecules for green energy" and "lunch box reactors".

Take a moment to relax, pour a pint and learn about the world of chemical engineering!

As we all learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, public health is inextricably linked to mental health - Brian Kennedy talks to Julie Arnott, an epidemiologist and public health specialist. She has studied maternal health in Uganda and Tanzania, has worked with the HSE as a COVID-19 epidemiologist, and is currently researching the physical and mental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland.
