I am absolutely delighted and deeply honoured to be nominated for a Teaching Hero Award. A big thanks to all my students at Maynooth University, and to National Forum T&L and @TheUSI for organising this event. #TeachingHeroAwards #SAAI2021

Could not resist

Estimating animal population sizes is increasingly important in areas such as conservation and wildlife management. This work with my supervisor Rafael Moral aims to estimate abundances for multiple species, along with their inter-species correlations #CASIposter2021

Given that global warming may not be such a good thing for us after all, I'm wondering: does the joyous excitement about fossil-fuel-powered space tourism seem odd to anyone?

I'm getting very tired of reading news about Prob(Vaccinated | Infected) rather than Prob(Infected | Vaccinated).

I am absolutely BEGGING everyone to PLEASE learn Bayes' rule. Please!

A village has 100 people. 99 of them vaccinated. 1 is not. 2 people become sick with Covid, 1 of whom is the unvaccinated person. Media: “50% of cases occurred in the vaccinated!!” This is what we’re seeing, and it’s irresponsible reporting.

We are so excited!! Rafael Moral from Maths & Stats will deliver a very interesting, different & inspirational Maths Week Ireland online talk ‘Do statisticians have superpowers?’ to TY, 5th & 6th yr Maths classes in schools all over Ireland on 21 Oct. Booking @ mu.ie/mathsweek

well well well if it isn’t the trauma of actions i took publicly of my own volition

Reconstruction of a house in Çatalhöyük. Literally *over 9000* years old. The Great Pyramid of Giza was as far in future to the people who lived here as our world was to the people who built that pyramid.

OK. I'll say it. What are we to conclude from the all male The Nobel Prize awards in #STEM these past two weeks? 1st. I'm sure the winners were all deserving. There's nothing to take away from them, and that is not my intention. 1/12

"I thought it might be nice to go round the room and say a bit about ourselves" You thought wrong.

We couldn’t have been prouder to watch CRT student Anna Konrad Maynooth University Hamilton Institute on #FutureIsland RTÉ with Prof Luke O’ Neill Luke O'Neill demonstrating TIAgo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @scienceirel Skillnet Ireland John McDonald Rudi Villing

In a time of rapid species decline, the ability to estimate animal population size is of great importance for wildlife management. I present results of a modelling framework developed to allow us to estimate abundance from trace data. Supervised by Rafael Moral #YISAPoster2022

What are they researching in pure math. Have we not discovered all the numbers already

When I was viva prepping for my PhD in Psychology I added sticky index tabs to my thesis, did a mock viva with my supervisors (extremely helpful), but I also searched the internet & collated potential qu. I am not an expert but in the hope it could help others here are some qu 🧵

Congratulations to Niamh Mimnagh, who successfully defended her thesis today at Maynooth University! Thank you very much Andrew Parnell and Hideyasu Shimadzu!
