👩‍🎓👩‍🔬 UCD PhD candidate and RTÉ 10 Things to Know About Presenter Amy Hassett on the importance of #ScienceWeek: "It's a great opportunity to showcase some of the fantastic research that is happening around the country, but also to show how science can and does influence our day-to-day lives. I also think it's great from the perspective of planning for the future."

In addition to her TV presenting, Amy has been studying at UCD College of Science: "I've been in college for the last ten years (fingers crossed I'll finish soon!), first doing a Degree in science, then a Master's in neuroscience and now a PhD in Marine Science/ Neuroscience."

"I've enjoyed every bit of it so far, but I have really enjoyed branching out into more science communication-orientated things in the last few years. Now I want to stay in science but move into stuff that involves getting the public involved in science - citizen science and things like that!"

Beautiful sunset this evening in @ucddublin. It looks good from the top of the Health Sciences Centre, and also reflected in the library windows.

Lego microscopes are a great way to experiment with optics and learn how microscopes work with hands on experience. They're also good fun!

All the 3D printed parts needed are now available to download here: https://t.co/rj6QRiGwUy

Very much looking forward to next Monday, and seeing the first episode of this year's series of @10Things_ToKnow.

I hope people enjoy watching it as much as I did getting to be a part of it!

[Mark Pickering @PickeringLab]

@TFlanaganLab That's a lovely photo Tom. I know it's not much, but we're all thinking of you and your family here.
