Very much looking forward to no longer working in a tourist attraction
No Mr. Tourist, you actually shouldn't try enter the building that's guarded by a locked door that's key card access only!

My name is Áine, I'm a recent PhD graduate from Trinity College Dublin, and looking for postdocs (ideally 🇬🇧/🇮🇪)
My background is in 2D materials (mainly layered double hydroxides) for chirality, luminescence and photocatalysis!

Chuffed to be back working with europium 😍
Less chuffed about having to figure out why the one on the right is purple 🙃

This is facism in action. People will say science is apolitical, but as long as science is studied by humans, it will always be political. Deciding what gets studied and how is censorship.
Trump regime bans CDC scientists from publishing work that mentions trans or non-binary people. When fascists can't burn books anymore so easily because everything's electronic and international, they just ban people from writing them.

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed.
Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.
