Dr Joe Byrne, of the School of Chemistry at NUI Galway, writes:
I’m co-organising an event on October 2 that might interest your Galwegian readers.
We’re celebrating 100 years since republican-revolutionary-turned-chemistry-professor Tom Dillon (top) joined the staff at NUI Galway (or UCG, as was) with an evening of science, history and dance…
He was a member of the Irish Volunteers and acted as Chemical Advisor in the 1916 Rising….
Professor Dillon, was appointed Professor of Chemistry in 1919. A century later, and the scientific topics he started exploring, such as the study of carbohydrates and sugars, as well as research into Ireland’s seaweeds, are still relevant…
Thomas Dillon Centenary Carbohydrate Symposium
Ah feck
I know someone who’d love that
There’s no way I could get her to Gallimh for it tho’
Good luck with it
There’s a very good chance it will either be streamed live on the night, or at least a video made available afterwards. Check out http://www.dillonsymposium.wordpress.com early next week and there will be details. Hopefully that’ll allow her to enjoy it.
Cool. I’d love that too.
Check out http://www.dillonsymposium.wordpress.com/live tomorrow, and you should be able to tune in to most of the proceedings from near or far.
Great stuff Joe
I’ll pass it along
