Great trip today to St. James’s and St. Luke’s Hospital for our fourth year students as part of their nuclear and particle physics module with @JamesAMcGrath. Students experienced the real world application of physics in both diagnostics and nuclear medicine.

Astronomer, astrophotographer and writer Annie Russell Maunder, born #OnThisDay in 1868, battled misogyny to become a leading solar astronomer and one of the first female Fellows of the @RoyalAstroSoc. Her work transformed our understanding of the Sun: https://t.co/OXxZFPpRWW

🌟🔭A new study published in @ScienceMagazine & co-authored by @paddyk_astro of @MU_Physics, has provided the first conclusive evidence for the presence of the elusive neutron star produced in the supernova SN 1987A.

Despite over 35 years of study what lies at the centre of Supernova 1987A has remained a mystery. 🤔 Until now. 💡

Using #JWST astronomers have found the first strong evidence of a neutron star at heart of SN 1987A. 🌟

Found myself with a couple of free hours today and treated myself to a stroll around the parts of my city where I grew up. Nothing more beautiful than #Dublin on a sunny winters day. We all should show it some love this Christmas
