Looking forward to giving this presentation on Po-210 in seaweeds to Irish Radiation Research Society on Thursday

It was great to present some of the results from the RICE Project at the Irish Radiation Research Society last Thursday

Come round and see our poster today

Great to have presented a poster at #ESA #ENVIRON2024 it will still be up for several hours

We are very pleased to have had a very productive and informative RICE Project steering committee meeting today

#OnThisDay in 1902, Marie Skłodowska-Curie & Pierre Curie announced they had isolated a small quantity of #radium — the first ever sample of this radioactive element naturally found in #uranium and in #thorium. A thread 🧵

Our new report with EPA Ireland on the average radiation exposure received by the Irish population found that average exposure amount remains similar to 10 years ago. Radon is still the main source of radiation exposure for the public. Read the report: hiqa.ie/reports-and-pu…

We reviewed medical exposure to patients, finding that the average amount of radiation from medical exposure has decreased. This is in part due to increased access to new and improved medical imaging.

How much radiation are you exposed to? The EPA and HIQA published a new assessment of the average radiation doses received by the Irish population. 60% comes from radon – get your home tested. Watch our explainer on the report bit.ly/45C7Vdg

Looking forward to presenting some results from the RICE Project at the European Radioecology Alliance's Young Researcher Webinar tomorrow

Well done to all involved.

Happy birthday, Lise Meitner, the pioneering woman behind nuclear #fission! Meitner was a prolific, award-winning physicist, but being a woman born on this day in 1878, it meant some of her biggest discoveries were credited to male scientists. (1/4) More 👇

Amazing effort by all again this year Galway Science & Technology Festival . Matt and Rihab Physics @ University of Galway demo NORM-BMI project (for 8hrs!)

Great to see Mark Foley, lead researcher of the EPA-funded NORM-BMI project, engaging at the Galway Science & Technology Festival festival!🔬 To learn more about the NORM-BMI project, click here: epa.ie/who-we-are/our…

📸#ICRER2024, une semaine riche en rencontres & apprentissages s'achève !🌿 Merci aux participants, intervenants & sponsors qui ont fait de cet évènement une réussite ! 👏 🛫 Cap sur l'Australie #Melbourne #ICRER 2027🦘 #radioecology #radiationprotection #environment #research

Very proud to have won the European Radioecology Alliance's first place poster award at the ICRER Conference in Marseille, presenting results of radionuclide concentrations in various seaweeds collected from the Irish coastline

Some very successful soil sampling was undertaken last week for a fourth year physics project South East Technological University. Many thanks to Sara Vero for the loan of the soil auguer which allowed us to take soil cores down to 1m. Results will be very useful for our EPA-funded GRaDE project.

Well done to all involved.
