I was delighted to get the chance to chat with Rebecca Graham @siliconrepublic.bsky.social about how I got into science communication and more importantly how crucial The @rememberingmary.bsky.social Award was for me and for others in finding out way into the field. 🙏🙏🎙️

As we continue the countdown to this year’s Mary Mulvihill Award, Part 2 in the story of ‘Life’ will look at what happened after the emergence of multicellular organisms. Enter sexual reproduction to the story.. 🧵1/24

As Ireland continues to recover from the aftermath of #StormEowyn , we consider how the human species has adapted throughout history. Could how life responds to a changing natural world be the subject of an entry to this year’s award?

As we take a break for at least a little while from the cold weather, its worth considering, could how organisms have and continue to respond to cold weather be the subject of an entry to this year’s Mary Mulvihill Award?

As we say goodbye to Halloween or Samhain, we consider the festival in the context of this year's award theme, Life. Samhain was the division between summer and winter, but it was also when the separation between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest. 🧵💀1/4
