Trinity Research & Innovation Podcast

Episode 5, the final one in the current series, was released on April 15th 2020: A new episode every Friday!

A new way to discover the exciting stories of innovation and deep tech coming from researchers in Trinity College, Dublin 

One podcast episode released each week for 5 weeks, providing entertaining and hopefully enlightening discussion with top scientists from a diverse range of research topics. We are not about dumbing down technology but communicating ideas and tech innovation that is creating real social and economic impact for Ireland.

Featuring "live " from the bunker in the bowels of the Lloyd Institute our resident "talking heads" Glen Duggan ( PhD Graduate Psychology) , Edward O'Loughlin (MBA Candidate) , and John Whelan ( Office of Corporate Partnership and Knowledge Exchange).

The Music is "Slow Miles - Fairlights" and is composed and performed by Enda Bates , Assistant Professor of Music & Media Technologies in the School of Engineering.
