Research labs and universities around the world are adapting to a new way of working through this lockdown, finding ways to keep connected and productive. My colleague Joe Byrne here at the NUI Galway School of Chemistry has put together an online seminar series (Fridays at 12:00 Irish time) to encourage the exchange of ideas and networking in a time when we cannot meet in person. Many of these will be open to the public, and we invite everyone to join us via the link that will be made available here on the day.
