J.L. Synge was a Senior Professor in the @StpDias from 1948 to 1972. You can read some Synge's original articles detailing his research and groundbreaking discoveries on our online repository at: bit.ly/2Gzh7X6 #DIASdiscovers

'Only a 1/4 of the 120,000 people working in jobs using #STEM are women ... girls are steering clear of what could be a universe of academic and career possibilities' Great article in the @IrishTimes with a mention of our first female fellow Sheila Tinney. bit.ly/2ElqOGu

DIAS iMARL infrastructure deploying ocean bottom seismometers which detect earthquakes and major weather events, track the presence of whales and dolphins, and capture seabed images. #DIASdiscovers

Great article in today's @IrishTimes about the breakthrough in understanding #SolarStorms, that was made by DIAS in conjuction with @tcddublin and @helsinkiuni. Read it at bit.ly/2Nd86ne. #DIASdiscovers

#DidYouKnow The School of Cosmic Physics at DIAS carried out the first gravity survey of Ireland and through off-shore geophysical research enabled the extension of Ireland’s ocean territory by tenfold. #DIASdiscovers

A key priority of the @SCSLibrary is the provision of reliable editions of hitherto unpublished material and texts, previously accessible only to scholars consulting the manuscripts. Learn more about the @DIAS_ISOS project at isos.dias.ie #DIASdiscovers

. @ProfBrianCox & @robinince using coffee & cream to explain how we got from the Big Bang to the universe as we know it today. Fantastic show tonight in @3ArenaDublin - masterclass in communicating complex scientific concepts effectively

@UniversalQandA Given you’re in Dublin, any comments on the legacy / influence of Schrödinger, who lived here for many years & was the first Director of @StpDias?

. @ProfBrianCox showing an image of the universe as it was 380,000 years after The Big Bang #Cosmology

“Your theory suggests there was a day without a yesterday” - Lemaître’s comment to Einstein on the Theory of Relativity, as cited by @ProfBrianCox

“9000 people have come out on a Saturday night to chat about #Cosmology - that makes me feel good about the world” - @ProfBrianCox is pleased with the turnout for his Dublin show :)

We’re excited to be @3ArenaDublin tonight for @ProfBrianCox. We know he’s a big fan of #Schrödinger, first Director of @StpDias, so looking forward to seeing if he speaks of Schrödinger‘s time in Dublin...
