This was difficult to write. If you're feeling despair, you are not alone. Action is what lifts me out of those feelings.

🚀 What can spaceflight teach us about sustainability on Earth? Dr. Lisa McNamee (@lisadangermcnamee.bsky.social) chats with Dr. Niamh Shaw about her inspiring journey—from Dundalk to Mars analogue missions and her innovative new project, Town Scientist Listen now!

I absolutely loved sitting down with Dr Niamh Shaw to chat all things space, sustainability and happiness for the @irishdocsenv.bsky.social podcast. Check it out below.

Air pollution linked to increased hospital admissions for respiratory infections.

So cool to be filming a new kid's #space and #science show today in #Explorium Absolutely love chatting all things #STEM and trying to encourage the next generation down this road. #WomeninSTEM #spacemedicine

📢 Calling all healthcare workers! Air pollution kills 7M+ people yearly. These deaths are preventable. We need urgent action to clean the air we all breathe. Join the call for bold policies and a fossil fuel phase-out. #CleanAir

January-itis setting in. Trying to banish it by focusing on quick wins and positive changes I can personally make. What are your strategies for January? #newyear #resolutions

Please read this utterly brilliant take-down of the notion that fossil fuel lobbying is good for climate action, by @thinkorswim.bsky.social www.thejournal.ie/readme/lobby...

Hit-and-run incidents made up almost 10% of all serious or fatal collisions on Irish roads in the last two months, according to new statistics.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits. The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Inspiring & devastating evening at @irishdocsenv.bsky.social Action on climate today is the only thing that will ensure any quality of life for us & our children in the coming decades. High impact action YOU can take right now. Switch your pension to a sustainable fund & away from #fossilfuels

Christmas can be a tough time of year for many people. Always remember though, there is support out there if you need it.

€614 to go in my Xmas Appeal for 2024. We can do this today in fivers and tenners. A share would be amazing. Thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/therickosh...

Have very much enjoyed the collaborative conversations this week at #UNBonn facilitated by @dlr-spaceagency.bsky.social and the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs. #space #sustainability

Early morning train to #Cork for work. Very lucky to have such a convenient #publictransport connection from #Dublin I know this isn't the case in other parts of the country. But saves a lot of 🚗 🚗 🚗 time and 🧠🧠🧠 energy too. @irishrail.bsky.social 💪

I love coordinating the @irishdocsenv.bsky.social podcast, where we get to talk to #climate experts on positive steps we can take amongst a sea of negativity. Available wherever you get your pods. #podcast #climate #sustainability ide.ie/resources/po...

My brother in law is running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days, currently running in Antarctica. Talk about setting an impossibly high family standard. Hope everyone else is having a more relaxing weekend. #ultra #marathon #running

It's not every day that you get mail from @NASA, just the really special ones. Enjoyed completing the Transformation to Open Science Programme and highly recommend to any clinicians or researchers looking to make a broad impact. #science #space #research

Birdwatch’s annual Garden #bird survey starts on November 25th it’s the best & easiest way to learn about birds, is free (apart from the cost of bird food) & v enjoyable It provides great information about birds in Ireland (they’re under pressure) birdwatchireland.ie/our-work/sur...

Great to see such an increase in activity on #bsky.app Hope to see it continuing!

Any advice @bsky.app #book community for a first time textbook author? Many years of behind the scenes work and I finally have a draft proof of my #medschool guide. Any tips for a newbie #author? #book #medicine #medicalschool #medicaleducation

A living sculpture, in the form of a wild alder on the shores of Lough Derg, Co. Tipperary. My kind of art. 🌎
