Dr Niamh Shaw
Town Scientist, the community science initiative funded by Research Ireland and led by Dundalk native Dr Niamh Shaw will be officially launched at Dundalk Credit Union at 12pm next Thursday, 15th May.
Town Scientist was piloted in Dundalk in 2024 and worked with local communities to make science more accessible and to break down barriers that often keep people from engaging with scientific topics. Building on the success of 2024, Dr Niamh Shaw will be launching a new and expanded Town Scientist programme for 2025 that will seek to reach even more people in the Dundalk area.
Dr Niamh Shaw is an engineer, scientist, writer and science communicator whose lifelong ambition and focus is to experience and communicate the view of Earth from space. She has been working to achieve this for the past 14 years and is continuing to do so alongside working on projects like Town Scientist.
