🌐💡attended FSE "Research Connections"

Delighted to be in Prague for our #EUeic #DigNA portfolio meeting. We will meet fellow #DigNA projects and have a joint poster session and reception with the “New Trends in DNA-based Data Storage ” conference. For the rest of the week we will be attending DBDS2025 - exciting talks ahead🧬

Flashback Friday! Thanks so much to @maynoothuniversity.ie Women and Girls in STEM club who recently visited our labs hosted by @abeereshra.bsky.social
We hope to see you again soon #WomenInSTEM

A busy week for the DISCO lab! We were delighted to welcome Prof. Andrew Turberfield for a visit and a fascinating talk at the Hamilton Institute Seminar; and then to welcome over 30 schoolgirls and parents from the @maynoothuniversity.ie girls in STEM afterschool club to tour the labs and meet us.

We will be at the #EICSUMMIT25 in Brussels 2nd to 3rd April looking forward to meeting colleagues and hearing from Europe's #HorizonEU innovators and an intro from Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva #DigNA #DNADataStorage

DISCO coordinator Prof Damien Woods, postdoc @abeereshra.bsky.social and project manager @drkimreilly.bsky.social were delighted to be invited judges for the 2025 scifest.ie at Maynooth Post Primary. Well done to all students who participated - we were amazed at your curiosity and ingenuity! #STEM

It was great to see our DISCO research presented by senior postdoc @abeereshra.bsky.social at the @mu-physics.bsky.social and Hamilton Institute joint Hamilton & Physics Research Morning 2025!

Wishing all of our colleagues, collaborators, followers (and of course our funders!) a very happy holiday season! 🎄🍷

As part of #ScienceWeek recently we were delighted to host secondary school students and teachers from Maynooth Post Primary for a tour of our labs to Learn about DNA Computation and DNA Robotics. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2025 for #ScienceWeek and #MathsWeek
