Stanford University Irish Association raised the IQ in the room at our #IrishRoundtable in. Silicon Valley by a million per cent and lowered average age by about 49 years. Thanks for your support @IrishStanford 👍🙌👍👏👏
We swapped the Guinness last night, and enjoyed the balmy spring evening with a wine tasting. 🍷🌞
Irish prof Stuart Coulson runs Papera, a Russian River vineyard which was planted in 1934 (right after prohibition ended) and specializes in zinfandel grapes 🍇
Not everyone thought it was a good idea when we said @aislingevents would go to Silicon Valley and tell the Americans about AI - but it's going fairly well. Erik Brynjolffson, global authority on AI and world of work, has just delivered keynote, Erik's new company is @workhelix
Great to be at this event today at @stanford, which is all about linking experts from across Ireland and Silicon Valley to discuss ever-evolving impacts of artificial intelligence.
organized by the wonderful @aislingevents@newbelfast
@UlsterUni They also got a chance to hear from Irish prof @stuartcoulson who teaches "Design for Extreme Affordability" at @stanforddschool. Stuart showed us around and chatted about a few of the bold ideas that began in his classroom and are now products used for good in the world. 👏
Great to host students from Ulster University at Stanford on Friday morning. They had travelled all the way from Derry~Londonderry as part of their Global Business Leadership Programme and a few of us met with them to chat about international student experiences here at Stanford
Excited to be a small part of this excellent event co-led by @newbelfast - tickets on sale now (if you are a Stanford student, DM us for student discount info)
We're hosting the 1st ever Irish AI roundtable in Stanford University on 9 May.
This gathering will build a sustainable transatlantic business bridge between tech leaders at home & the global nexus of genius, funding & research when it comes to AI: Silicon Valley & San Francisco
We had a great time this weekend joining the 173rd St Patrick's Day Parade in San Francisco☘️
Thanks to the @IEConsulGenSF for inviting us along, and @IrishCenterSF for organising!

We're very excited to be hosting Maurice Casey (QUB) here next week!
His public lecture, titled 'Queer Northern Ireland: Researching an LGBTQ History of Modern Ulster,' will be Wednesday, September 27 at 5pm in Connolly House.
We are very proud of our Secretary Kim, who defended her dissertation today! She gave a very interesting talk on the (culinary) life of female immigrants arriving to Sydney, Australia in the 1800s (many of whom were from Ireland)! Maith Thú!
We bid a fond farewell to Consul General @odriscor today, as he leaves SF this weekend following five years at the consulate. We wish him every success and we thank Robert, his wife Caoimhe and their two sons Cuán and Cillian for their service here. Go n-éirí go gael libh.
The new Machine Learning Specialization by @DeepLearningAI_ & @StanfordOnline is now available on @Coursera!
You’ll learn the fundamentals of ML & gain practical experience with Python. Please help me spread the word, and encourage others to take ML! https://t.co/qHZoEqmWm2
On Saturday we formally launched the first new exhibition since the pandemic began: “Out in the World: Ireland’s LGBTQ Diaspora.” The show was created in June 2021 through a partnership between EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum and the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.
