Its always hard to know where to donate money effectively during disasters like the #TurkeyEarthquake. Empathi is a turkish NGO I support doing amazing work, now needing to do disaster recovery work.

Every little helps to buy food, blankets and necessary goods!

@ColinJ_Keogh schooling us on proper Twitter use. We're taking note. Did we do it? #trending?

Great thread on visualising the recent @TheOceanCleanup results so far....check it out.

[Dr Colin Keogh 🛠 @ColinJ_Keogh]

Great work @TheOceanCleanup @BoyanSlat but I agree, visualising this data is hard for most. So looking at it like this......100,000kg of common consumer plastic waste like this......with a rough packing density of 16 lbs/ft3 (256.295 kg/M3) in a bale like this..

2/ I dig into the #materials and tech needed to @make a bionic arm 🦾 for the #WinterSoldier, while mixing #Engineering, #Academic writing & #Superhero nerding out.

Trying to mix the worlds of #AcademicTwitter, #FalconAndWinterSoldier & #MarvelStudios......

[Dr Colin Keogh 🛠 @ColinJ_Keogh]

1/Curious how the #WinterSoldier got his arm? How it works or what its made of? A 🧵

I've done an #engineering analysis in this new paper published in @SuperSciTech journal, In time for @EngineerIreland #STEPSEngineersWeek.

[Dr Colin Keogh 🛠 @ColinJ_Keogh]

This initiative has the support and authorization of the Island Council of La Palma, this being the entity that will directly manage the amounts donated to alleviate the damages caused to those affected.

[Dr Colin Keogh 🛠 @ColinJ_Keogh]

The purpose of this initiative is to create a channel that serves to allow anyone who wishes to donate and facilitate access to the bank account that Cabildo Insular de la Palma (https://t.co/zK2otPjBHt) has opened for this purpose.....

[Dr Colin Keogh 🛠 @ColinJ_Keogh]

...I can attest to their openness, innovation and dedication. One of these entrepreneurs was Andrés Sanfiel González, a leader in the #Palma startup space who has now decided to help those affected by the #LaPalmaVolcano rebuild via his "Help La Palma" initiative.

[Dr Colin Keogh 🛠 @ColinJ_Keogh]

While the world looks on in awe at the power of Nature, many people on #LaPalma have had their lives destroyed by the #CumbreVieja volcanic eruption.
Having had the pleasure of advising some amazing Palma based Entrepreneurs via the EU Co-Working program with @impacthub Network.

Great to be at an in person event again at the @UCD_Innovators 3D printer build session at @ucd building @Prusa3D systems.
The seed of the @rapidfoundation came from an event just like this years ago.

Amazing 3d render of what the inside of a human cell looks like made from the combination of x-ray, NMR and cryoelectronic microscope data sets. It's gorgeous.
