Dr Yoshiyuki Kaneda, Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), recently visited DIAS and gave a lecture marking the third anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake. This was a joint initiative of the Embassy of Japan in Ireland and the School of Cosmic Physics, DIAS.
The lecture entitled “Advanced Researches of Earthquakes and Tsunamis Based on Lessons Learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake 2011” took place on Monday 3rd February and Dr Kaneda talked about the lessons learned from the 2011 disaster, the latest efforts and research into the mitigation of such catastrophes, and how we can more reliably and accurately anticipate such events in the future. Dr Kaneda also gave an expert workshop for young researchers that morning. Dr Kaneda is Project Leader of the Earthquake and Tsunami Research Project for Disaster Prevention at JAMSTEC. Press release

Big thank you to @MartinaPQuinn of @helloalicepr for moderating the discussion, and of course to our panel @NeasaMcG @CormacORafferty and @laoneill111
@CormacORafferty "to cut yourself off from fundamental research means you could miss out on some of the biggest ideas"
@laoneill "it's our job as researchers to keep reminding governments how important basic research is" "For Dev basic research being carried out in Ireland was a badge of pride"
@NeasaMcG Schrödinger's work in causality was not well received by the religious authorities at the time At the same time DIAS did have Catholic priests working on research projects in the early days, so there was not the conflict you might think between science and religion
@laoneill111 Schrödinger was very popular in social circles in Dublin, a bit of a renaissance man
@CormacORafferty Schrödinger was gifted at explaining difficult concepts
@CormacORafferty on how unsuccessful work, in Schrödinger's case, unified field theory, is just as important part of science. And no one has managed to crack it yet! And not forgetting the cat
@laoneill111 how Schrödinger's book inspired scientists to change fields and result in the finding of the double helix.
@NeasaMcG explaining how DIAS came about and how Schrödinger was attracted to Ireland #DIASdiscovers
