In 1943, Erwin Schrödinger, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, then Director of Theoretical Physics, here, at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), gave three public lectures entitled ‘What is Life?’ at Trinity College Dublin. Following their publication in 1944 as a book of the same name, these lectures had a tremendous influence on the development of molecular biology.
TCD will mark the 75th anniversary of these lectures with an unprecedented gathering of some of the most brilliant minds working in biology today.
We look forward to a wonderful conference hosted by our TCD colleagues.

Happiest of Birthdays to Emeritus Professor of the School of Cosmic Physics at DIAS @Luke_Drury 🎂
Customs including bonfires🔥 goddess celebration, banishing evil spirits 👺and festivals of feasting and dancing. Traditions varied depending Celtic regions as did the name of the goddess 😇 @SCSLibrary #celtic #traditions #festivals
The #SummerSolstice, the day when there are more hours of daylight than any other time of the year. Due the axial tilt of the earth being at its closest to the sun. It was one of the sacred Celtic days which they would celebrate through a variety of customs. #DIASdiscovers
