While there is an obvious @DIASDunsink link, there is another #DIAS link to this event. Pictured on the right here you will see @TomRayDIAS with his daughter @Emma_Ray_Artist whose own flash of creativity won the commission in 2018.
What a day yesterday! Amazing autumnal sunshine for not only the Hamilton walk but the official unveiling of the new artwork commemorating William Rowan Hamilton's "eureka" moment at what is now Broombridge luas stop.
Wow! This image from an article published in August is from a group lead by Ruben Fedriani. It is a result of work undertaken while at DIAS is now a featured image on @NatureComms site! It is a striking. Excellent work Ruben and team! #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/NatureComms/st…
Great photo @jm_astro 👍. Looks like a perfect morning for the Hamilton walk and @Emma_Ray_Artist artwork unveiling. Happy Hamilton Day. @RIAdawson @MaynoothUni twitter.com/jm_astro/statu…
