Pint of Science Ireland Teaser - What's It All About

Melissa is a content designer with IBM, and a volunteer graphic designer with Pint of Science Ireland. But, before all this, she picked up 2 masters, the first in science communication and the second in emerging media. It taught her that science and art are more similar than they are different. Both usually rely on maths and repetition, but more often, good communication methods.

Laura is now a research fellow in Trinity’s Department of Genetics where she explores the use of gene therapies for retinal degenerations. She is interested in the science communication through visual media, which she did as part of the Irish Department of Health's SciComm Collective.
