Community outreach and education is an important part of what we do - Head of Dept @markcnewry and Asst Prof. @KateCScience hosted this fantastic secondary school neuroscience and neurophysiology event for Brain Awareness Week! 🧠🧠🧠
That’s #BrainAwarenessWeek 2025 done and dusted. Great experience interacting with @SHGS_Newry Year 8 students with @KateCScience and the team from @TCDPhysiology building brains and neurons and exploring the complexity of the human brain @Futureneuro_ie @TrinityMed1 @tcddublin

🤩 We're having a great time at @START_ERN #EuropeanResearchersNight at @RCSI_Irl! Lots of exciting chats about the research at FutureNeuro, plus fun hands-on activities—from DNA extractions to mini-EEG demos exploring visitors' brain waves. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

Replying to @KateCScience
@KateCScience and I had a blast interacting with 5th class students of Central Model School. We explored the brain, neurons and EEG. Great questions from pupils and future neuroscientists in the making @TCDPhysiology @TrinityMed1 @tcddublin @Futureneuro_ie – at Dublin City, Ireland

🤔 Why do people talk about brain tumours 🦠🧠 so often but rarely say that they have developed an #epilepsy?! 30% of people with or who have had a #braintumour also develop an #epilepsy!! 😱🤯 1/ 🎧📹 Podcast, video, transcription torierobinson.com/epilepsy-s… #braintumor @markcnewry
