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.

Today would be the birthday of one of @DIASDunsink's most famous residents. So we ask what do you think is Sir William Rowan Hamilton's most remarkable achievement, or long lasting contribution to science? #DIASdunsink #physics #Mathematics #astronomy #dunsink #observatory
Last month as part of our anniversary celebrations we highlighted the inter county links of DIAS projects, staff and historical discoveries over the last 80 years. carlow-nationalist.ie/2020/06/17/car… #DIASdiscovers #DIAS80
Did you know DIAS scientists work on the @I_LOFAR project in Birr? Last month as part of our anniversary celebrations we highlighted the inter county links of DIAS projects, staff and historical discoveries over the last 80 years. offalyexpress.ie/news/birr/5535… #DIASdiscovers #DIAS80
