Leitrim County Council is inviting parents and children aged 7 to 12 to explore coding technology together through a series of free, family-friendly sessions as part of Science Week 2025, which runs from November 9th to November 16th. The OurKidsCode workshops will take place across the county at Leitrim's Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) and libraries. OurKidsCode is a nationwide programme developed by a research team at Trinity College Dublin that helps families learn about technology in an enjoyable, hands-on way. No experience is needed - just a laptop and a willingness to learn something new. The workshops are most suitable for children aged 7 to 12, but everyone is welcome. Leitrim County Council has been supporting the programme for 18 months, and it has already proved a hit in Leitrim communities, with excellent feedback from parents and children alike. During Science Week 2025, the two-hour workshops will take place in Leitrim's libraries and BCPs, giving families across the county an opportunity to discover how coding can spark creativity, build problem-solving skills and boost confidence. As well as being a fun and stimulating way for families to spend time with each other, these educational sessions help to address the urban/rural divide by bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) activities to families in rural Ireland. In time, initiatives like OurKidsCode could open doors for future opportunities for people to live and work in their home counties, as so many careers in computing and technology can be done from home. The workshops have also seen significant numbers of girls shine in the fun environment, which could lead to a higher take-up of STEAM careers for young women. Martina Gilmartin, facilitator of the OurKidsCode programme in Leitrim, said: "Working as a facilitator with OurKidsCode here in Leitrim, it has been lovely to see parents and children sitting together, laughing, creating, problem-solving, and being proud of what they achieve as a family. "In this very tech-savvy world, many parents worry about children spending too much time on screens. OurKidsCode offers something completely different - active, creative computer time rather than passive screen time. Coding helps children to think, to problem solve, to plan and sequence, to make patterns and to persevere. In truth, it is about more than coding. It is about connection - between parents and children, between families and communities, and between creativity and technology." Nicola Mc Manus, Broadband Officer at Leitrim County Council, said: "Leitrim County Council are delighted to be part of this very worthwhile initiative with Trinity College and OurKidsCode in bringing coding workshops to young people and their families in County Leitrim. We encourage families to take this opportunity to support our young people to access valuable learning in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths." Fiona Wheeldon, who participated in an OurKidsCode workshop with her sons, said: "We really loved the coding workshop provided by OurKidsCode over four days in Manorhamilton library last year. My two sons (5 & 9 at the time) and I learnt lots about Micro:bit, Scratch & Makey Makey - how to use them and where to go to get our own. My kids are still interested in coding now, with the younger one doing some Makey Makey projects, and the older one doing Makecode Arcade at home." If parents, parent associations, and community groups would like to enquire about hosting Our Kids Code workshops at their local BCPs, they can email nicola.mcmanus@leitrimcoco.ie for further information. To take part or find out more and to register, contact your local library, your nearest BCP, or phone Martina Gilmartin on 087 154 5012. Families can find more information at www.ourkidscode.ie.

Dray Gentry, a clinical physicist on ORAU's radiation epidemiology team, is the primary investigator for an ORAU-Directed Research and Development Grant project that aims to determine the feasibility of using artificial intelligence to speed up the process of identifying chromosomal abnormalities in the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site Cytogenetic Biodosimetry Laboratory, which is part of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education that ORAU manages for the U.S. Department of Energy. The second is to help determine the total dose cancer patients are exposed to during treatment. In this episode of Further Together, Gentry talks to hosts Michael Holtz and Amber Davis about his research, why it's important and what he hopes to accomplish in the next phase of his project.

Between 1946 and 1953, at a Massachusetts institution called the Walter E. Fernald State School, dozens of boys were recruited into something called a “Science Club.” They were promised special perks — better food, baseball games, trips to the beach. What they weren't told was that their breakfast oatmeal and milk were secretly laced with radioactive iron and calcium. The so-called nutritional study was designed by scientists from MIT, funded in part by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and co-sponsored by Quaker Oats, which supplied the cereal. The goal was to measure how well the body absorbed minerals from food — but the method violated every basic rule of ethics and consent. The children, many labeled “feebleminded” or “morons” by the state, were wards of Massachusetts — boys without parents, without rights, and without the ability to refuse. Some were even injected with radioactive materials in follow-up experiments. None were told what was happening to them. When the truth came out decades later, public outrage was immediate. Survivors like Fred Boyce came forward, saying the greatest harm wasn't the radiation — it was being treated like an object, not a person. In 1998, MIT and Quaker Oats settled a class-action lawsuit for $1.85 million, and President Bill Clinton issued an apology on behalf of the federal government for Cold War-era human radiation testing. But behind the headlines is a bigger story — about power, secrecy, and the belief that science justifies anything. In this episode, we dig deep into the Fernald radioactive oatmeal experiments — what really happened, who was responsible, what became of the victims, and how it changed human-subject research forever.

TURAS ALF / ALF'S JOURNEY: Alf, a 20m x 5m giant puppet of a Smooth Newt, inspired by the current conversations around climate change and habitat loss, will meander through Dublin, visiting multiple city centre locations this Science Week. Supported by Research Ireland, Science Week is the annual week-long celebration of science in our daily lives and takes place across Ireland from 10 - 17 November 2024. This year, Science Week will explore the theme of Regeneration. World-renowned masters of visual storytelling, Macnas, has created Alf the Giant Newt with incorporated lighting, soundtrack and special effects, that will animate the streets of Dublin and delight audiences. Expect Macnas' signature collaborative creativity, electric energy and joyous abandon as Alf the Giant Newt arrives in the capital city. Join us in welcoming Alf on his journey through Dublin city centre on Thursday 14 November, accompanied by drummers, stilted beacons and a cohort of fire performers. This spectacular flaming cavalcade will wend through the city, starting at 19:30 from Capel Street, across the River Liffey via Grattan Bridge, through Parliament Street and onwards to Dublin Castle for 20:30 or, stop by and say hello to Alf at Collins Barracks (12th-13th November, 10am-5pm) as he prepares for his journey. Alf will be taking a well-earned rest at Dublin Castle after his journey across the city, and welcomes visitors at this historic location from 15th-16th November (10am to 9pm)*. Alf is a Smooth Newt, the only member of the tailed amphibians found in Ireland. Uniquely, newts have the amazing ability to regenerate their body parts. They can regenerate parts of their tails, jaws, ears, hearts, spines, eyes and brains. A newt can even completely repair damage to its heart! Newts are small but mighty and are masters of regeneration. Newts are part of a group of 'indicator species' - the health of their population serving as quite a good measure of the health of an environment. They can typically be found in habitats that offer protection from desiccation, such as woodlands. The Smooth Newt also depends on healthy, wetland habitats for its life cycle - protecting these habitats are vital. Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO of Research Ireland, said: "We are delighted to welcome Alf to Dublin this Science Week. Being a master of Regeneration himself, Alf perfectly encapsulates this year's theme for Science Week. Regeneration is happening all around us, and Science Week is a chance to explore infinite opportunities for our future, and how the decisions we make today will greatly impact future generations. With hundreds of events taking place nationwide, there is something for everyone - whether you're passionate about protecting our environment, biodiversity, our future health, or using technology like generative AI in our everyday lives." Richard Babington, Creative Director, Turas Alf, said: "Turas Alf / Alf's journey will see the community of Dublin come together to welcome a weary traveller who is feeling the effects of human development and climate change and needs somewhere safe to call home." Science Week 2024 is harnessing the power of regeneration and calling on the public to celebrate our ability to reinvent, rejuvenate and regenerate.

Be part of the conversation to help shape the Vet Vault with your feedback. Many of us dream of building a practice, and then one day selling it and walking off into the sunset, minus responsibilities, and with our money problems solved. But what actually happens after what's supposed to be ‘the big goal'? Who are you when you're no longer the boss, and what's next?  In this episode, ⁠Dr Wolfgang Dohne⁠ tells us how he re-invented and reinvigorated his career post the sale of his practice.  He also give shares what he's learnt about being a professional locum vet: the pro tips, the pros, and the cons, and what working in telemedicine has taught him about telemedicine as a career option, and also its potential role in our everyday lives in clinical practice.  Join us at Science Week for the most cutting edge conference topics out there.
