Big news! 🎉🎉 Last weekend myself and my dog Jessie qualified as the first ever scent-specific trailing search dog team with @sardaIreland after nearly 4 years of training. It’s an incredibly complex type of searching, and we’re very proud to be qualified to @NSARDAOrg standards
Just heard on the radio that 3.6 million bottles and cans are being recycled every day under the deposit return scheme.. there are 5.1 million people in Ireland.. I didn’t realise we used this many plastic bottles and cans!

Spent some time today reviewing the Designing Futures students’ work on their Steam to Green module. Well done everyone and good luck in your final exams! @GalwayDF
I’m hoping I don’t eat my own words later, but it seems much easier to grade assignments on @Canvas_by_Inst than Blackboard. I can even do it on my phone with ease!

Lots of happy faces at the final @EnergeNwe project meeting in Luxembourg last April.
I opened an Arabic book (a colleague wrote a book that has been translated into several languages).. it hurt my brain trying to hold the book right way up before opening it. I knew Arabic is read from right to left, but I didn’t realise that they’re also read back cover to front
After playing football in this grass during my PhD as a way to unwind, I never thought I would be playing basketball here 6 years later, after finishing marking a whole load of project reports 🤷🏻♀️ great addition to the campus though!

Electricity demand from data centers grew by nearly one-third in 2022, and accounted for 18% of metered electricity consumption.
This growth - 1.4 TWh - almost entirely matched the growth in electricity from wind generation in 2022, 1.5 TWh.

Here’s a trainee trailing search dog after finding someone hiding up a tree. It can be confusing for some search dogs because they are picking up the pool of scent below/around the person, but can’t see the person to indicate on them!
