Finally, some years of work and engagement have materialised in this encyclopedia of #STS. Many thanks to the + 90 authors who contributed! And what a pleasure it has been to go on that adventure with Alan Irwin - thanks for being such a great colleague, conspirator and friend!
Dr. Paula Murphy writes in The Conversation today about what 70 years of AI on film tells us about human relationships with artificial intelligence https://t.co/Ey6j75ePRu
A very interesting @EPAIreland report on Irish people's attitudes to climate change and climate action was published this morning. It has four key elements...a short 🧵https://t.co/lHKn6e3veM
Yesterday’s attack was appalling. The far right mobilisation afterwards was all too predictable. North and south on the island the 2 Gov’s & police services have not taken the far right seriously. We need to stand together, condemn racism in all its forms.
23 @dcu staff nominated as Research Allies out of 68 nationally - a terrific affirmation of academics, research officers, professional & technical staff who go the extra mile to mentor, supervise, support and encourage. Real @DCU values. Congrats all.
Really pleased Government has approved the recruitment of a new Government Chief Science Advisor.
The new Advisor will assist Government in informing responses to complex and challenging policy issues such as climate change, AI etc.

Erika, Rebecca, Farrah and Hannah at the book launch on Friday. All five editors completed PhDs @stsucl
Building pathways from Further Ed to Universities is good news for both. Recognises the strengths of FE & brings excellent students to university who might not otherwise get here. Delighted @DCU is taking a lead on this in Ireland & well done Drogheda @DIFEedu & @LouthMeathETB
Carice van Houten, who played Melisandre the Red Woman on Game Of Thrones, was arrested in the Netherlands yesterday.
The actress was apart of a group of environmental activists who blocked a road for a protest demonstration. She was also drenched with a water cannon by police.
Delighted to launch our new Research Impact website. Great case stories of how published research from each of @DCU ’s five faculties is leading to real impacts on policy, the economy, climate and society. https://t.co/TOUM4dfr2y
@DCU very own Prof Maura Conway @galwaygrrl@LawGovDCU among the authors of this really important report. Researcher safety needs to be a central concern of universities’ approach to research integrity.

Some science museums/science centres from around the world. A thread. Here is Deutsches Museum, in a German river isle. One of the largest in Europe, 1.5m visitors per year, a classic model "from Aeronautics to Agriculture, Chemistry to Classical Optics". Hendrix played here!1/8
