YAI members are uniquely positioned to bring multidisciplinary solutions to challenges of our times. It was a pleasure to observe members working collaboratively to develop ideas as part of their general assembly. #YoungAcademyIreland

The YAI General Assembly, held this week in Dublin, was a dynamic and engaging event.
Key moments included: members updates, interactive sessions on crafting project proposals, and talks on drafting public statements and on Research Ireland

Prompt: What happened yesterday? Who did you meet? What did you do? How did you feel?

‘There once was a little boy called Jean-Paul and his mum was a doting parent until the day she cut his locks." I wrote a short story inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre's thinking about the role of #narrative and #stories in understanding ourselves. @JJPiasecki https://t.co/1XbaZeFh5K

“This essay is about Lemkos — an ethic group living in south-east of Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia, known for their unique culture and architecture” — @agatawestern https://t.co/hKU8bZFe6S #NonFictionNovember #writingcommmunity

@JanTijenk You’re probably right. Listening to @PolitykaTOKFM a lot these days. Some analysts say PIS will prevail due to the social aspect - giving people a sense of higher status, a flavour of middle class. So from this perspective high inflation is a bigger gamble than EU conflict

Top #EU court tells Poland to pay €1m a day for ignoring court order - could this get out of control and become a chance for early election in #Poland ? https://t.co/PYJNHHsdM4
