About this site Two large sections of this site – Understanding the Natural World and The UCC Public Lectures – explain some of the wonderful knowledge science has discovered about how the natural world works, the place of humans in the world, and the science-based technology on which modern civilisation runs. We have a rich legacy of science in Ireland that remains largely unappreciated by the general public and another large section of the site contains biographies of famous Irish scientists. There are also sections on Science in the News, Scientific Quotations, Science and Humour, Quizzes and Puzzles, and, Careers and Courses in Science and Technology. This site is designed like a magazine, with an Editorial Page and Letters to the Editor Page. The Editor, William Reville writes the weekly Science Today column in The Irish Times, and many of these columns have been reproduced as articles on this site. |
