The SEA-SEIS Song and Rap Competition for Secondary Schools ran from October to December, 2018, also advertised on the SEA-SEIS website and through teacher networks. It received excellent entries – creative, imaginative, artistic, and with a variety of original takes on Earth science and seismology at sea. The winners and runners-up have now been announced on the SEA-SEIS website. They include:
GRAND PRIZE and Special Mention for best SEA-SEIS song: “The Earth is so alive inside it’s always movin’.” Lyrics by James Moore, 14, class 2.1, music by Luke Shiels and Killian Taylor, 17, 6th year. Science teacher: John Bourke. Presentation College Bray, Co. Wicklow.
GRAND PRIZE and Special Mention for Best Performance: “When you want to measure the shaking…” By Caren Lara Chilewitz, Albane Charmeil, Astrid Jaubert, Sabrina O’Connell, Kacey Philippe, 2nd year Science and Technology class (4eme, science teacher: Céline Tirel), Lycée Français d’Irlande, Dublin.
Special Prize, Best Science Song and Special Mention, Best Adapted Lyrics: “The Pressure Builds Up.” By Class 1.11 (teacher: Siobhan Alley), Presentation Secondary School, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.
The project SEA-SEIS (Structure, Evolution And Seismicity of the Irish offshore) involves scientists from the DIAS deploying 18 seismometers at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. The network, currently in place, covers the entire Irish offshore, with a few sensors also in the UK and Iceland’s waters. The seismometers are to be retrieved in Spring 2020.

The Annals of Connacht is a vellum manuscript that was written in the mid-16th century. The contents were derived from older annals compiled for the O’Conors of the Connacht and contain an annual record of significant events over 320 years, and... (2/3)
Date: 19 October 1944
Paper: The Irish Press
Synopsis:
DIAS has been publishing books since it's founding. One such early publication is the edited manuscript of the Annals of Connacht (Annála Connacht) which was edited for the first time by Martin Freeman of DIAS. (1/3)
This work was to help towards the preservation of the Irish Language, to maintain it's continuity with the past, and was to become a resource for teachers to check pronunciation
#DIASdiscovers#Irish#Irishlanguage#CelticStudies#Gaelic
The researchers used the International Phonetic Alphabet, slightly modified to represent vowels and consonants of living speech. At that time there were concerns over the deterioration of the Irish language due to the "overpowering influence of English"
Date: 02 June 1943
Paper: The Irish Press
Synopsis:
In 1943, a phonetic investigation led by Brian Ó Cuív, Risteárd B. Breathnach and Tomás de Bhaldraithe of DIAS would begin the first systematic scientific recording of the varied sounds of modern Gaelic speech.
The papers were
1) Affine Field Theory: conservation identitites and relation to Weyl and Eddington
2)The Union of the three fundamental fields (Gravitation, Menson, Electromagnetism)
Which went on to secure worldwide acclaim.

Date: 01 December 1943
Paper: The Irish Press
Headline: Two Papers by Dr. Schroedinger
Synopsis: 1943 was a busy year for Schroedinger. Not only did he deliver the "What is Life?" Lectures in @tcddublin in February in November he delivered two papers in the @RIAdawson (1/2)
"In the lives of St. Patrick, the two saints are invariably fused into one", said Prof. O'Rahilly in his lecture.
The lecture was a condensation from O’Rahilly’s book “The two Patricks: a lecture on the history of Christianity in fifth-century Ireland”. (4/5)
He was known by his first name Patricius, which in later times would lead to confusion as he was succeeded by another apostle of the same name (Saint Patrick or Patricius in Latin). (3/5)
Date: 21st March 1942
Paper: The Irish Press
Headline: Palladius and Patrick | School Of Celtic Studies Lecture
Synopsis: The first public lecture under the auspices of the School of Celtic Studies was delivered in Trinity College by Professor T. F. O'Rahilly in 1942. (1/5)
As part of our ongoing participation in the @HistFest we decided to take a look into the Irish Newspaper Archives and see where DIAS made it into print over the last 80 years. There were so many articles, the hardest part was selecting what we would post. We hope you enjoy!
