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…
DIAS started the Seismology in Schools (SIS) initiative in 2007. Congratulations to these dedicated students and teacher on this achievement. I wonder are there any scientists out there who were inspired as a result of SIS. We'd love to hear from you if so! 🤔 #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/Irish_TechNews…
Tonight's talk on DIAS: 50 years as space research pioneers is underway. Some seats have freed up...
Great to see this initiative introduced by DIAS in 2007 inspiring future generations. #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/spacecasper/st…
This wonderful work is from the daughter of DIAS's own @TomRayDIAS. Can't wait to see it in person next week! 🤩 twitter.com/RIAdawson/stat…
Well done to Luuk! #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/helloalicepr/s…
A great turn out for our @HistFest talk last evening celebrating the lasting impacts of Hamilton and Schrödinger on Science today. Our final talk next Monday led by @TomRayDIAS will be on DIAS's work in space. Only a few seats remaining: eventbrite.ie/myevent?eid=67… #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/StpDias/status…
