It’s been a great summer. School has restarted and we’ve began new marine projects out in Monterey. But, back in Galway, our team came across a lot of findings and interesting data, lacuna for research, and a plethora of memories along the way. This article will be a little summary of what myself and our […]
Welcome back to my second installment of our CBE Fellows blog report. Reporting live: From Galway (Gaillimh) Ireland ! I left you last time with the first stages of our project — valuing sea-floor resources, and it has come a long way. My colleagues at the SEMRU unit have been instrumental in helping me get up […]

Two months (and one day) after we returned home, I wanted to write down some final reflections of our trip. I’m delayed, yes. But I’m also doing this for myself, so being on time matters less. This will be question-and-answer style—the questions that I asked Daddy as we mused over…
Back in Dublin. It’s novel to be taking pictures of cityscapes, not landscapes. Yesterday we went to knock off the two things we wanted to see in Dublin: Dublin Castle and the Trinity College Library. But we didn’t get to either of those yesterday. Instead we went to the old…

Wicklow is called the Garden of Ireland. By colonists, who usurped the land from its Irish inhabitants and refused to give it back for centuries, or ever. (The Irish make light of their subjugated past now, but even this good-naturedness helps me to sympathise with fomenting dissent. There’s this quintessentially…
On our way from Kinsale to Wicklow today, we stopped at the Rock of Cashel. The Rock is a mass of stone piled systematically atop a hill in order to form a habitation. It was a castle where kings lived until the thirteenth century or so, when it was repurposed…
O, colourful Kinsale. I started this post yesterday, but stopped when I realised that no post about Kinsale could be complete without dozens of pictures of colour-saturated stucco. I probably should have taken pictures of more monuments and landmarks, but no matter. Enjoy. (Maybe that gallery worked? I blame PHP…
Meant to post this last night obviously, but had reached the end of my patience with wandering for Wifi. Well, the Wifi’s not great in the room we’re in, so I’ll leave with the fact that we made it to Kinsale. Interestingly, we both separately were desirous of visiting this…
