Looking forward to speaking to young people from around the country at BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 2025 as judging kicks off this afternoon. A real highlight of my academic year

Delighted to receive a copy of this book on “spaces of mental health and wellbeing” in the post.

The wonderful Dr Sheena Hyland and I contributed a chapter on how the university as a lived space shapes students’ experiences and understandings of distress.

Looking forward to chatting to Claire Byrne on @RTERadio1 in the next few minutes about the science Santy might be using to get the job done!

[Shane Bergin @shanedbergin]

How might Santy fit down the chimney? How fast does he need to travel? How many presents do the elves have to make? And might weather affect his journey? Tune to @RTERadio1 this Friday morning: I’ll be chatting to Claire Byrne.

@ElecCommIRL hi. I have a question about transfers. If the candidate I gave my 1st pref vote for is eliminated and my 2nd pref candidate had been eliminated previously, does my vote transfer to my 3rd preference?
