    Why Podcast Your Research?

    How does an academic get started in podcasting? Why would they want to get behind the mic? How can it benefit their scholarship and career? Following on from a very busy academic podcasting workshop at SETU, Stacey Copeland of the University of Groningen joined Jenny O’Connor and Bruce Wardrop (both SETU) and 9plus host Rob O’Connor in studio to reflect on the session while thoughts were fresh in their heads.   This workshop was funded by the National Forum for Teaching & Learning Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement (SATLE) scheme. https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/funding/#!/Funding-Calls   LinkedIn profiles if you wish to follow up with any of the people on the podcast: Stacey Copeland https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacopeland/ Jenny O’Connor https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-o-connor-1551b929/ Bruce Wardrop https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruce-wardrop-a491a633/ Rob O’Connor https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertoconnorirl/   A number of sources/materials are referenced throughout the conversation, which you can find here.   Websites Amplify Podcast Network https://amplifypodcastnetwork.ca Podcast Studies website https://podcaststudies.org   Books Copeland, Stacey and McGregor, Hannah, "A Guide to Academic Podcasting" (2021). Books. 2. https://scholars.wlu.ca/books/2 Verma, N.

    Mis, Dis and Mal-Information with John Balfe and Steph Hanlon

    What’s the difference between misinformation and disinformation? Where does it all come from? Why are we talking about it so much? What effect does it have on individuals and society? What can we do about it? All of these questions (and more) are explored in a fascinating discussion between John Balfe (SETU), Steph Hanlon (Carlow College) and 9plus host Rob O’Connor (SETU).

    Physics and Photography with PJ Cregg

    Engineering lecturer PJ Cregg recently delivered a captivating talk exploring the intersection of science and art through photography. In this episode, PJ and Rob O’Connor delve into various physical laws depicted in photography, including light reflections and refractions, crepuscular rays (rays of sunlight), and rainbows. They also discuss PJ's research on topics ranging from Claude Shannon’s Information Theory to James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, highlighting the connections between the arts and the sciences. This episode is inspired by the Mathematics and Physics Seminar series, which has been a cornerstone of intellectual discourse in SETU (and previously WIT and WRTC) since the 1980s (estimated).   To join the mailing list or enquire about the Mathematics & Physics Seminar series contact Morgan Robson morgan.robson@setu.ie or Nikos Georgiounikos.georgiou@setu.ieFor those interested in observing and understanding various natural optical phenomena, PJ recommends M. Minnaert, The Nature of Light & Colour in the open air. (1954) Dover.PJ’s talk on tides – How Much Do The Planets Influence The Tides? – is available on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY9VIua3n6YPJ Cregg’s profile on the SETU website https://www.setu.ie/staff/pj-creggRob O’Connor profile on the SETU website https://www.setu.ie/staff/robert-oconnor

    Autonomous Systems & AI with Dr. Indrakshi Dey

    Autonomous Systems are the jumping off point for this podcast episode with Indrakshi Dey of the Walton Institute at SETU. We talk about how computer science research is progressing in this area, encompassing the world of AI and forming links with partners across all disciplines. This leads on to a chat about how we (humans) tend to anthropomorphise Artificial Intelligence systems. We also discuss Indrakshi’s career to date and how being a woman of colour has given her unique insight across the sector.

    Open Access Publishing with David Kane

    We talk about all things “open access” with David Kane from the SETU library. David talks about how research was published in the past and explains why there’s been a shift towards open access publishing over the last number of years. He describes various models of open access publishing and talks about how your University’s library can likely help you achieve open access publishing. The concept of citation is also discussed, which may be especially useful for undergraduate students or individuals new to research. Here are some links to resources mentioned during the podcast: OpenAlex free global research index https://openalex.org The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA)’s mission is to advance practical and robust approaches to research assessment globally and across all scholarly disciplines https://sfdora.org/ Irish Open Access Publishers (IOAP) is a community of practice driven by Irish open access publishers for Irish open access publishers https://www.ioap.ie/ Green, gold, diamond – different models for open access book https://oabooks-toolkit.org/lifecycle/article/13868103-green-gold-diamond-different-models-for-open-access-books SETU Library https://library.wit.ie/ David Kane’s profile on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfkane/ Rob O’Connor on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertoconnorirl/

    Sustainability & Land Sciences with Nick McCarthy and David Devaney

    In this episode, we have an interview with Nick McCarthy and David Devaney about sustainability and land sciences. Both are members of the EIRC (Eco-Innovation Research Centre) at SETU. Nick’s specialist area is forestry and David’s is agriculture and soil science. They talk about some of the climate change challenges facing Ireland (and the world!) and how science is helping us create more sustainable models for biodiversity, agriculture and forestry management. Nick and David are both enthusiastic speakers who really engage with the topics. Rob also learns some stuff, such as what the word “silviculture” means and the difference between agriculture and horticulture! ·       Information on the Echo-Innovation Research Centre (EIRC) is available https://www.wit.ie/research/centres_and_groups/Eco_Innovation_Centre1    ·       Dr. Nick McCarthy’s staff profile https://www.wit.ie/about_wit/contact_us/staff_directory/nicholas_mccarthy ·       Dr. David Devaney on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-devaney-wit/
