Name: Dr Pauline Mcginnis
Title: : Post Doc Researcher
E-Mail: pmcginnis@cp.dias.ie
Address: Astronomy & Astrophysics Section, 31 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2 D02-XF86 Dublin 2 D02-XF86.
Research Interests: Star formation, T Tauri stars, accretion, protostellar jets, spectroscopy
Biographical Sketch: Pauline McGinnis received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in physics from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. She was awarded a PhD in astrophysics at the same institution in July 2017, after having worked with Dr. Silvia Alencar and Dr. Catherine Dougados (of IPAG – the Institut de Planétologie et d’Astrophysique de Grenoble, France). Her thesis focused on the study of accretion and ejection processes in classical T Tauri stars in the young stellar cluster NGC 2264. She then worked as a post-doctoral researcher at IPAG until December 2018, investigating spectral signatures of accretion and ejection in young stars. Since July 2019 she is a post-doctoral researcher at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, where she is involved in the ERC project entitled EASY Ejection and Accretion Structures in YSOs) led by Prof. Tom Ray.
Selected Publications: MCGINNIS, P.; DOUGADOS, C.; ALENCAR, S. H. P.; BOUVIER, J.; & CABRIT, S. Ejection processes in the young open cluster NGC 2264. A study of the [OI]λ6300 emission line. A&A, 620, A87 (2018).

Big thank you to @MartinaPQuinn of @helloalicepr for moderating the discussion, and of course to our panel @NeasaMcG @CormacORafferty and @laoneill111
@CormacORafferty "to cut yourself off from fundamental research means you could miss out on some of the biggest ideas"
@laoneill "it's our job as researchers to keep reminding governments how important basic research is" "For Dev basic research being carried out in Ireland was a badge of pride"
@NeasaMcG Schrödinger's work in causality was not well received by the religious authorities at the time At the same time DIAS did have Catholic priests working on research projects in the early days, so there was not the conflict you might think between science and religion
@laoneill111 Schrödinger was very popular in social circles in Dublin, a bit of a renaissance man
@CormacORafferty Schrödinger was gifted at explaining difficult concepts
@CormacORafferty on how unsuccessful work, in Schrödinger's case, unified field theory, is just as important part of science. And no one has managed to crack it yet! And not forgetting the cat
@laoneill111 how Schrödinger's book inspired scientists to change fields and result in the finding of the double helix.
@NeasaMcG explaining how DIAS came about and how Schrödinger was attracted to Ireland #DIASdiscovers
Panel Discussion getting underway! @laoneill111 @CormacORafferty @NeasaMcG @MartinaPQuinn
