As the world’s second, and Ireland’s only, Institute for Advanced Studies, DIAS is a globally embedded institution that attracts scholars and academics from around the world. It conducts and publishes advanced research across three disciplines: Celtic Studies, Theoretical Physics and Cosmic Physics. DIAS also leads Ireland’s participation in a number of international research endeavours that focus on big unanswered questions for mankind.
We heard it might be a big space anniversary over @NASA , but we didn’t want one of our own be eclipsed! @DIASDunsink hosts the instruments that captured the first images of a solar eclipse 100 years ago and helped support Einstein’s theory of relativity. #DIASdiscovers#Eclipse
The third technician @DIAS_Dublin who worked on the #Apollo 16 cosmic ray data was Emer Kee! She later went on to be a scientific lab technician in @LYIT and is now retired. A massive thanks again to Emer, Hilary, and Dinah for making DIAS space research pioneers!
#DIASdiscovers
A lot to celebrate for #Apollo50 this week, including Dinah Molloy--another technician who worked on the Apollo 16 cosmic ray data @DIAS_Dublin! Dinah is now an assoc researcher @scottpolar in Cambridge and a research associate in @TCEHTCD.
