Pint of Science “Hidden Worlds: Oceans, Fossils and Scientific Mysteries”
From mountains, to oceans and even the forgotten trinkets in your home, nature’s secrets are hidden everywhere, waiting to be discovered.
Pint of Science brings some of the most brilliant scientists to your local pubs and cafes to discuss their latest research and findings with you. Join us at the Sober Lane at 7pm to explore these hidden worlds.
MaREI’s Nicole Todd, a Postdoctoral researcher at University College Cork will give a talk on ‘The Secret Lives of Porpoises: Can We Keep Their Ocean Home Safe?
Harbour porpoises are small, elusive, and vital to our marine ecosystems—but their numbers are declining in Irish waters. By using acoustic monitoring, we can uncover their hidden lives, better understand their movements, and the pressures they face. Let’s dive into the world of underwater sound and explore how science can help us create a future where both porpoises and progress can thrive.
