Im-moo-nology and the protection of human health

Kieran Meade (Associate Professor University College Dublin)

I will discuss the relevance of animal diseases to human health - called a One Health perspective

Maths, Moths, and Musical Numbers

Rafael Moral (Associate Professor of Statistics, Maynooth University)

I will talk about my journey of scientific discovery, ranging from a child who loved to count just for the sake of counting to a scientist who is interested in counting animals to develop wildlife monitoring programmes by developing new statistical models. I will also talk about how I combine my passion for science, mathematics, statistics, wildlife and music in public outreach initiatives.

Community engagement on Mullingar waters

John Bawle (Mullingar Tidy Towns )

We will be talking about things happening in our community, especially our new Wetland Biodiversity project for Mullingar
