It's #WorldPoetryDay! #DidYouKnow we have many books on ancient poetry for sale on or online shop?Find 'The wedding poems of Dáibhí Ó Bruadair', and 'Poems on the O'Reillys'. Browse the shop at bit.ly/2UObyHK
Next week Professor Chris Bean @dias_geophysics will give the second lecture in the series, ‘Earth processes - drivers for life’. Register to attend on Thursday 28th March here: eventbrite.ie/e/earth-proces… #DIASdiscovers
Prof @petertgallagher finishes his talk with a question for the audience to ponder, ‘Is there anyone or anything out there?’ #DIASdiscovers
Radio telescopes such as @I_LOFAR here in Ireland help scientists explore the question ‘What is extraterrestrial life?’ #DIASdiscovers
.@petertgallagher gives us some possible solutions to the Fermi Paradox which postulates the possible existence of extraterrestrial life #DIASdiscovers
As of March 2019 there are 3,925 confirmed exoplanets in the @NASA Exoplanet Archive. @petertgallagher explains how astrophysicists detect these planets by looking at light curves as they transit in front of stars. #DIASdiscovers
Prof @petertgallagher kicks off with an apt quote from Schrödinger, ‘Some of us should adventure to embark on a syntheses of facts and theories....and the risk of making fools of ourselves’ #DIASdiscovers
Registrar Eucharia Meehan currently introducing the series and today’s speaker @petertgallagher #DIASdiscovers
Today at DIAS Professor @petertgallagher is answering the question ‘What is Extra-terrestrial Life?’. This is the first talk in a four-part public lecture series exploring ‘What is Life?’, famously considered by Professor Erwin Schrödinger in 1943. #DIASdiscovers
Tomorrow, at 1pm, Professor @petertgallagher will ask “What is Extra-terrestrial Life?” in the first of a four part public lecture series. There are a limited number of places still available - reserve your place free of charge at bit.ly/2HEJfYN. #DIASdiscovers
