What a great day @DCU. Such a great showcase for research and thrilled that @SpillzHinch PhD student @MegTheZoologist emerged as the winner. Such a brilliant advocate for what we do @CTYI. Well done Meg

A great week showcasing a new @ctyi programme @DCU. We had a number of female students and kids from DEIS schools taking advanced Maths and Chemistry classes funded by Purposeful Ventures. The future is bright @OrlaDunne10 @SpillzHinch @hazel_skinner

Happy to promote this interesting piece of research

Delighted to be back @DCU for our new term @CTYI. Over 1,000 students starting classes around the country today. Great excitement on campus.

Thrilled to see former @CTYI student and current staff member Dr Lisa McNamee win this award. She was the recently the recipient of our alumni of the year in the summer @DCU. Such a multitalented and lovely person.

Delighted to give a presentation today @tcddublin to the teachers of the future. Great to share my thoughts about the diversity within @CTYI gifted students. Showcased some brilliant research in this field conducted @DCU

Great to see this article in today's @IrishTimes. An important area @ctyi that is often overlooked in gifted education. Well done Dylan and Malachy. @DCU ‘In school people are scared to be a bit strange’: Gifted students on life in mainstream schools irishtimes.com/ireland/educa…

We are back! First day of @ctyi primary school classes @DCU this term. Over 1,000 students and some very interesting courses. Oh and the parents have to listen to me! I think the kids are getting a better deal.

It would be great if someone could help our wonderful PhD student @MegTheZoologist

Honoured to give a keynote address @Echa2024 in Thessaloniki. Great to talk about 30 years of work @ctyi and our pathways forward @DCU

These are just some of the amazing projects on display @CTYI today. We are having an expo of student work @DCU. From criminology, robotics and art design these students are so talented. Great way to finish up the six week summer programme.

So excited to be @DCU this evening at the @ctyi alumni event. Great speeches and nostalgia from former student @lisa_mcnamee and former staff member @ChristineBohan under the brilliant interviewing skills of Andrew Payne.

Calling all former (and current) @ctyi staff and students. Please see details of the second edition of our Speaker Series @DCU on Monday evening. The line up this year includes the amazing @lisa_mcnamee and @ChristineBohan. We would love to see you so DM me for further details.

Fantastic to see my great friend @DrOliviaHurley visiting us @CTYI yesterday. Such a wonderful and inspiring person! Our students were delighted @DCU

Fantastic day @DCU where our @CTYI secondary school students showcased their work from the various classes. These are better than some of the posters I see at conferences. Research matters!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been elected as President of the European Council for High Ability @ECHA_eu. ECHA is the main organisation for gifted people in Europe. I am delighted to say that we will host the ECHA conference @DCU in 2026 showcasing the great work @CTYI

So Bentley visited @CTYI in @DCU yesterday. It’s safe to say he was a huge hit and I was relegated to a support role while (literally) everyone patted him.

We are back! 2024 @CTYI Summer Programme is up and running @DCU. We have over 2,500 students taking courses over the next six weeks. Let the fun begin!

Congratulations Dr. Alshleh from all of us @CTYI where you worked on both the primary and secondary school programme. @DCU You truly are an inspiration! Syrian refugee realises dream of becoming a doctor rte.ie/news/2024/0620/145555… via @rte
