During COVID-19, artists in Ireland had their pipeline of work instantly dry up. We launched a round of experimental virtual residencies available for makers, creators, writers, artists and designers to collaborate with scientists over five weeks. For this virtual residency, each ‘resident’ got €1000 and was paired with two advisors.…

Bohnhoff et al. develop an entirely new scale-invariant and process-oriented approach to unravel earthquake nucleation and rupture physics. This bears enormous potential for future generations of adaptive seismic hazard assessment at major tectonic plate-boundaries and associated risk at colocated population centers. This will also critically improve mitigation of man-made seismic…

Late-stage detection of breast cancer has as a consequence cachexia and chemotherapy which is the main treatment modality. These reduce the survival rate of patients. Borelle Mafogang proposes valorizing some local foodstuffs via the development of a dietary supplement for the management of breast cancer and chemotherapy sequelae.

Isaac Newton is credited with the famous saying: “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” But how did he know which shoulders to stand on? This Falling Walls Circle Round Table examines scientific credibility in two ways: first, by looking at how public…

SPRIND Sciencepreneurship Symposium – Falling Walls Circle 2023 Scientific breakthroughs can solve our biggest challenges – from infectious diseases and cancer to cyber security, shortages of natural resources, and rapid climate change. To transform new knowledge into deeply impactful results, Science needs to engage with change makers. We need great…

Martin Kiyeng is addressing the environmental impact of disposable diapers by developing patented technology to process natural fibre from agricultural waste into highly absorbent, biodegradable, and compostable diaper materials. This sustainable approach aims to reduce reliance on non-renewable resources and manage waste more effectively, contributing to a circular business model…

HOW INNOVATIVE HEALTHCARE FINANCE INCREASES TREATMENT COVERAGE FOR HIV, MALARIA AND TB Today’s major imbalances between the haves and the have-nots of the developing world and richer countries, together with the local and international conflicts of the 21st century, are pushing healthcare finance into a completely new era, where private…

We plan to address the pain points of patients, providers, and payers with novel biosensors + analytic tools for improved outcomes following surgical drain installation. Tag: Med-Tech.

Using computational methods, Jiao Jiao Li optimises the conditions for growing stem cells. The cells respond to environmental changes and output the most effective biomolecules for treating a specific disease.
