If you’re interested in open research / open science / open scholarship, and you’re not sure where to start, or if you have plenty of experience and you’re willing to share, please join our friendly group. We welcome researchers at all levels for interesting conversations!

For our last session of the academic year, we're going to play a game!

Paola Sofia Serrano Bravo will be bringing "H₂Ow much?!" for us to play-test. Paola was awarded funding by the Sustainability Engagement Fund to develop the game, which encourages better water management for lab users. All are welcome to join--no lab background required, and we promise it's more fun than it sounds!

Paola is a Ph.D. researcher in the School of Physics, and she is also associated with EPSRC-SFI CDT in Engineered Tissues for Discovery, Industry and Medicine (lifETIME) and the Research Ireland Centre for Medical Devices (CÚRAM).

Sample game cards and instructions will be sent in advance of the workshop.

As always, there will be biscuits, but you'll need to bring your own beverage in a leak-proof travel cup :)
