Can generative AI be trusted to draw chemical structures? Not yet, according to two chemists who want to see the community take a tough stance against its use. https://t.co/kkk0TUrrhs

AIs like Microsoft's Copilot, Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT still make serious errors rendering structural formulae

Ireland's finally on track to be a @CERN associate member. Minister Lawless has pushed this as far back as '17/18 as an opposition member of Cttee on Business, Enterprise & Innovation, so it's great he gets to follow through now. Learned a lot on that trip https://t.co/PAP7Me2DQn

Just over a week left in the Trinity Seanad election! If you have a vote & haven't returned it please do so now. Also, please remind other Trinity graduates to do the same. I'm running to bring my experience in science, governance, EU affairs & advocating for Dublin to parliament

I'm very proud to serve on the committee of the United Arts Club which is thriving at the moment with a packed programme of events and rapidly growing membership. This weekend we open the door to the Irish Times for a tour and to discuss our mission to support & promote the arts.

Kevin making his closing argument at the Seanad hustings yesterday about why he wants to represent @tcddublin graduates. As a graduate of @MathsTCD @TCD_physics and @tcdgenmicro, he brings a lot of professional experience and campaigning experience to the table. Vote #1
My closing remarks at last night's Trinity Seanad hustings about bringing my experience in science, governance, EU affairs and advocating for Dublin to parliament. Before 400 years of Trinity parliamentary representation ends I aim to make TCD graduates proud as their senator.

City Wardens for Dublin would quickly put an additional visible and reassuring presence on the capital's streets to support policing. I'm running for the Seanad to push ideas like this in parliament. Listen back to my discussion of the details on Newstalk: https://t.co/sVcvCRRBJl
