Pint of Science Ireland

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!
