Thank you @oranfinegan for delivering an incredible 2025 John Mallet Purser Public Lecture @TrinityMed1 @TCDPhysiology @tcddublin @AnatomyTrinity

[Oran Finegan @oranfinegan]

Proud to have been invited to deliver the 2025 John Mallet Purser Public Lecture in @tcddublin on the 12th November. A great opportunity to highlight the rapidly developing field of #humanitarian #forensics

[Mark Cunningham @markcnewry]

Thanks to @epilepsyireland for popping in to see our @tcddublin @TCINeuroscience @TrinityMed1 @Researchirel new OPM-MEG scanner and for the article highlighting how this technology will help with epilepsy research @Futureneuro_ie https://t.co/N3RcLbGVn6

Humanitarian forensic action is a field that recognises that forensic methods can help protect human rights, clarify the fate of missing persons, and bring dignity to victims & families, even where there is no functioning legal system or where the primary goal isn’t prosecution

This is what it is all about. @CarlingfordIRE

[Mark Cunningham @markcnewry]

@BeatrizGilLA @Insermu1266 @TCDPhysiology @Futureneuro_ie Always!

[Mark Cunningham @markcnewry]

Great visit to @Insermu1266 to discuss our work on brain tumour related epilepsy with Gilles Huberfeld and colleagues. Paris looking good in the sun ☀️ @TCDPhysiology @Futureneuro_ie

[Mark Cunningham @markcnewry]

@CarlingfordIRE Still looking good regardless!
