How do you throw a party in space? You planet! Thank you to the pupils for Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary School for a #ScienceWeek2022 joke as we started our #ULAcademyforChildren STEM taster programme. The pupils really enjoyed the workshops delivered by @SOPHiaPhysics

Brilliant memories of @GrainneWalshe in @PhysicsDeptUL leading @SOPHiaPhysics with her team of enthusiastic undergraduate volunteers to deliver inspiring workshops to so many people! https://twitter.com/GrainneWalshe/status/1590800168139763712

Dr Gráinne Walshe @GrainneWalshe

As @ScienceWeek approaches have some brilliant - and bittersweet - memories of delivering online workshops in 2020 & 2021. Great we had the option but missed the buzz of a room full of kids into physics! Wishing everyone the best for Science week 2022 🔭🧬🧪

Thanks to @CriticalRedPen for giving me the chance to chat about the work I do with @PhysicsNews

After my own ✨fun✨ experiences, showing everyone that physics isn’t just for one type of person is really important to me!

Silicon Republic @siliconrepublic

When you picture a physicist, who do you think of – someone resembling Albert Einstein or Sheldon Cooper?

@IOP_Ireland is looking to smash the stereotypes associated with physics and get more young people into this area of science
