#IAmAPhysicist working on designing, fabricating and characterising tunable lasers via transfer printing at @IPICIreland. Here I am brainstorming with other researchers at a workshop in Belgium in 2019. #WomenInScience #womenandgirlsinscienceday #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience

Cheers to the @vueling cabin crew on the Gatwick-Barcelona flight who handed my phone to a random stranger after it fell out of my handbag during the flight 🤨And then the cheek of them to act like they did nothing wrong. Never again will I be giving money to this company!

Delighted to see the @SocDems doing so well, especially in Cork South-Central (my current residence) and in Limerick City. Hopefully Limerick County (my hometown area) will be inspired to have a candidate in the next election! #GE24

I have decided it is time to start phasing out my usage on this website. You can follow me at this link on BlueSky! https://t.co/KLS4EJfjX7

@TFIupdates @Buseireann @TFIupdates I got on the bus at the starting destination (Limerick Bus Station), and witnessed the operational delays that caused it to be late. I'm not sure what the point would be of using the app while I was already on the bus!

[Megan O'Brien @missmegrob]

@Buseireann the 7:25 am Limerick-Galway Expressway service departed almost 50 minutes late this morning, causing me to be late for a work meeting in Galway. This is very poor service!

@MedievalDuffer A source has told me they're starting from €90, no idea where she heard that though

[Megan O'Brien @missmegrob]

@jk_rowling If you can provide me evidence that she was born biologically male, I would much appreciate it. Because the evidence I have seen is that she was born female. Don't let the black mould in your house rot your brain anymore than it already has.

[Megan O'Brien @missmegrob]

@niamhoflynn2 @Buseireann I'm also here waiting a half hour for this bus to arrive, no prior warnings either if routes would be affected by Cork homecoming etc. @Buseireann this is unacceptable

@IrishRail no trolley service on the 12:25 Cork-Heuston train, despite being quite full. This is unacceptable for an almost 3 hour journey

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.

Like many, I usually take the current price of a hot chicken roll as a gauge of how bad the cost of living crisis is. Bought this from Centra on Grand Parade today and I feel robbed right now.

[Megan O'Brien @missmegrob]

@ActualSamHarris Congrats Sam!
